The Windsor Islamic Association wants to clear the air.
Spokesperson Lina Chaker says the association continues to work with the city and nearby residents about parking issues near the Windsor Mosque.
She says there are no issues between the parties and feels all want to find a solution for the parking problem.
As heard on AM800 news Thursday morning, the city's Environment, Transportation and Public Safety Standing Committee deferred a request to allow on-street parking between 11am and 4pm on Fridays on five residential streets near the mosque.
Chaker says the association is not pushing for the on-street parking but feels it is a temporary solution.
She says the association is looking at other options besides parking.
"We are establishing a second facility about a 10 minute drive to where the Dominion mosque is right now," says Chaker. "We are really just looking for some leadership from the city to help us out and finding a temporary solution, a space where we can just rely on in the meantime for a couple of months."
The five streets involved in the on-street parking request are Mark, Everts, Curry, McKay and Longfellow.
A report on parking options is expected to return to the committee within the next 30 to 60 days.
