The adjusted proposal is to convert 16 all-day parks into one-hour spaces in Andersons Bay Rd.
They would continue to be free of charge for motorists parking there.
The parks at issue are in an area featuring both large-format retail and fast-food outlets and proposed changes by the Dunedin City Council are aimed at increasing parking turnover.
The parks subject to possible change are outside Mitre 10 Mega and it had been envisaged 60-minute spaces might also be brought in on the other side of the road towards Midland St and in part of McBride St.
"However, having received feedback, which was mostly from workers in the area, the original proposal has been modified and most of the proposed changes will not proceed," a council hearings committee agenda said.
The committee is due to discuss the issues, and other proposed changes, tomorrow.
Feedback included a stream of commentary from workers in the area who were worried about reduced options for them.
Some resented the lack of parks provided by Kmart.
Mr Dippie has also been investigating constructing a two-storey parking building within the existing parking lot of Mitre 10 Mega.
Parking in the revamped George St in the city centre is also covered in the committee agenda.
Restrictions presented "aim to clarify that the shared zone of the retail quarter is designed for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles".
The council commented there was evidence of cars being parked where they were not supposed to be.
"Specific parking spaces have been designated and the other parts of the street are not intended for parking."
Trial roundabouts at the intersection of Shetland, Chapman and Dale Sts in Wakari and the intersection of Church and Wickcliffe Sts in Mosgiel are planned to be upgraded to permanent infrastructure this financial year.
Feedback had influenced final designs, the council said.
