BACKGROUND:
At a recent BIA meeting for Belmont Village, a number of businesses had requested a review of the
existing on-street parking regulations (i.e time limits) in the Belmont Village. The request identified
that the existing mixture of short term 30 minute, one (1) hour and two (2) hour parking time limits is
creating confusion for customers of the Belmont Village, with a number of parking tickets being
issued.

In order to address this request, Transportation Planning has surveyed the businesses and residents
regarding a proposal to change all on-street parking in the Belmont Village to a consistent two (2) hour
parking maximum. The survey results are as follows:
In favour of implementing two (2) hour parking time limit throughout the Belmont Village: 16 (84%)
In favour of leaving the current regulation as is: 3 (16%)
TOTAL 19 out of 91- (21 % responded)
As indicated above, of the 19 responding businesses and residents, 16 (84%), are in favour of the
proposal to implement a two (2) hour parking time limit in Belmont Village.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
This initiative falls under the Community Priority of Quality of Life. "Work with partners, including all
orders of government, to create a culture of safety in our community." By working with the
neighbourhood, on-street parking concerns have been addressed.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The approximate cost for sign installation for the roadway is $900 and will be taken from the existing
sign maintenance budget.
COMMUNICATIONS:
In December 2011, affected residents and businesses along Belmont Avenue West between Union
Boulevard and Glasgow Street were surveyed regarding the proposed parking changes. The BIA of
Belmont Village have been informed of the results and endorse the proposal.
