REPORT NO.: INS-15-002
SUBJECT: On-street Parking Regulations — Mansion Street
RECOMMENDATION:
That parking be permitted for a maximum period of three consecutive hours on
the east side of Mansion Street from Edna Street to the north limit; and further,
That the Uniform Traffic Bylaw be amended accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
Mansion Street is a local road with residential land use on either side of the right-of-way
which terminates at the MTO right-of-way at Highway 85. In response to a request, on-
street parking regulations will have to be reviewed.
REPORT:
Currently, on-street parking is permitted on the west side of Mansion Street between
Edna Street and the north limit for a maximum period of three consecutive hours, 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 Mansion Street. The request cited concerns regarding overly restrictive
parking regulations being problematic for residents and visitors and requested that
parking be permitted where possible.
Residents in the immediate area were notified of this proposed parking regulation
change in November 2014. No objections to the proposal were received.
