vehicies are parked close to the driveway.

Existing Parking Regulations

The Traffic Regulations Bylaw currently restricts parking for five
metres adjacent to driveways into specific property types that generate
high traffic volumes. Townhouse and apartment complexes are rint
included in this restriction.

This request should be turned down, as sight distance problems when
exiting a driveway is not sufficient justification to restrict parking.
If this restriction is approved, it would be difficult to Curn down
Similar requests from other townhouse complexes and home owners,
Because of parking shortages throughout the City, parking restrictions
in residential areas should be avoided when possible.

The portion of Citadel Drive that this driveway is located is on a
straight section with a posted speed limit of 50 kmh, The bes solution
for these residents is to use caution when entering Citadel.
