SUBJECT: No Stopping zone at Irvine School -
Public Works Committee, December Isth, 1982

RECOMMENDATION:

That the east side of Wellington Street adjacent ta
the Irvine School be posted as a No Stopping zone and that the
curbing be painted yellow in this area.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

Attached is a letter from the School Safety Committee
outlining five recommendations which were developed as a result
of several meetings with the Principal of the school. The
problem for this school is that it has a French Immersion
course which requires that a number of parents drive their
children to and from school. Although the east side of
Wellington is posted as a No Parking zone, parents who find it
difficult to find a place to stop close to the school do stop
along this curb, arguing that they are not parking but simply
stopping. This results in some hazard to children who may be
crossing the road in this area.

The first two recommendations in the attached letter
Would be the responsibility of the City. The remaining three
would be the responsibility of the School Board or Principal.
The Committee recommends that the first two items be done but
that the City not get involved in the request for development
of a parking area at the south end of the school property.
