MEMORANDUM JUN 9 - 1986

FROM: F.E. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Two hour parking restrictions on Kingsway Avenue -
Public Works Committee - June 3, 1986

Recommendation:

That the following two hour parking zones be estab! ished on
Kingsway Avenue between the hours of 8:00 am to 6:00 peme, Monday to
Saturday Inclusive:

1. On the south side of Kingsway between Bedford Street and
Burleigh Street.

2. On the north side of Kingsway for the frontage of 2549 Kingsway
Avenue which is B & J Auto Parts.

Background and Comments:

Requests have been received from Sand Mountain as well as B & J
Auto Parts for two hour parking on the street. The reason given tn
both cases is to control the parking spaces for the benefit of the
customers rather than to allow long term parking on this street.
Shorter term parking would be acceptable but would be difficult for
our Bylaw Department to patrol.

In both of these locations parking is permitted on the street
and there Is no reason to completely eliminate parking. The Committee
has no objections to controlling the parking to a two hour limit {¢
this ts helpful to business. Two qualifters that need to be
considered, however, are that with each extension of a two hour zone
the Bylaw Department can spend less time on enforcement of the other
zones and secondly, by eliminating long term parking on this portion
of this street we may be driving these parked vehicles to another

porticn of the street.
