Cronkite were in attendance to respond to questions from the Committee.
Mr. Mike Flannery addressed the Committee in support of the proposed parking prohibition. He

the proposed parking prohibition. In addition, he questioned whether any parking prohibitions
would be imposed on Golden Meadow Drive to prevent shifting the parking issues identified on

along with the parking prohibition is not a standard practise in this type of residential

the residents. He stated once the signs have been installed, staff would monitor the situation to
determine if additional regulations are required.
