SUBJECT: Parking at Kilmer School on Knappen Street <=
works and Services Committee, March 12th, 1985

RECOMMENDATION:

That "No Parking At Any Time" signs be installed six meters
on eitner side of the two main entrance gates to Kilmer School off

Knappen Street.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

A request was received from the R.C.M.P. for control of
parking along Knappen Street due to the large number of parents who
drop off or wait for children on the street and who screen the

visibility of children crossing the road.

The Committee is not in favor of a complete elimination o f
alang Knappen Street becausa the playground is completely
fenced and the danger of children running out onto the road is greatly

parking

reduced by the fence, lf parents are forced to park across the road,
more conflicts with children could occur. However, there are two
entrance gates used by many school children and it is deemed

appropriate to restrict parkiny on either side of these entrance gates

in order to improva the visibility of children crossing the road at

tnese points. The Motor Vehicle Act uses a standard 6-meter parking
restriction at crosswalks and the same restriction would be

appropriate af an antrance gate.
