ON-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS – EXECUTIVE
SUBJECT:
PLACE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That parking be prohibited at any time on the west side of Executive Place from a point 270
metres south of New Dundee Road to the south limit of Executive Place; and,
That parking be prohibited at any time on the east side of Executive Place from a point 270
metres south of New Dundee Road to the south limit of Executive Place; and further,
That the Uniform Traffic By-law be amended accordingly.
BACKGROUND
:
Executive Place from New Dundee Road to the terminus currently retains commercial
and institutional development on both sides of the right-of-way. In response to an
identifiable operational concern related to the access to the property towards the
terminus of Executive Place, on-street parking regulations will have to be reviewed.
REPORT
:
Currently, on-street parking is permitted for up to three (3) consecutive hours on both
sides of Executive Place as outlined in the City of Kitchener Uniform Traffic By-law No.
2007-138.
Transportation Services has received a request to review the existing parking
regulations on Executive Place. The request cited that heavy vehicles parked within the
bulb of the cul-de-sac can impede access to private property and recommend that
parking be prohibited accordingly.
ç ó ï
Transportation Services has reviewed this issue including a field investigation, and has
concluded that prohibiting parking within the bulb of the cul-de-sac will improve access
to private property as well as improving emergency vehicle access.
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 installations for the roadway is $500 and will be taken
from the existing sign maintenance budget.
COMMUNICATIONS
:
Businesses were advised of the proposed parking regulation change through a mail out
sent in July 2010. No responses or objections were received.
