golf carts, snowmobiles, remote controlled robots and/or off road vehicles, or’ added to
exemptions as per request from Waterloo Regional Police Service.
Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS)
An Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS)was approved for parking violations by
Council on April 15, 2019, Report CSD-19-008 and the program was implemented on June 3,
2019. The repeal and replacement of the new Traffic By-law requires an amendment to the
AMPS by-law in order to ensure both by-laws reference one another and incorporate any
required definitions to reflect the AMPS process. This amendment is minor in nature and simply
a housekeeping requirement which will have no impact or change on the current AMPS process
or procedures as previously approved by Council.
Process Improvement
Over the last three years (2016-2018) Transportation Services presented 73 consent reports
regarding On-street Parking Regulations, On-Street Stopping Regulations, All-way Stops and
Pedestrian Crossovers to the Community and Infrastructure Services Committee. These consent
reports are generally for mattersthatare minor in nature. Further, issues contained within the
reports arereviewed by Transportation staff with consultation and input from the local community
and Ward Councillor. The current process isas follows:
1. A request/concern is received by Council and forwarded to Transportation Services or
received by Transportation Services directly.
2.Staff review and analyze safety, roadway functionality, and conformity with the Ontario
Traffic Manual (OTM) standards and warrants.Should the request be parking related, staff may
also survey/petition affected residents
3.If additional signs/restrictions are warrantedand aren’t currently addressed through
general provisions of the Uniform Traffic Control By-law, staff prepare a consent report to be
considered by Community and infrastructure Services Committee(CISC). The affected
community is notified of the upcoming CISC meeting.
4.If the consent report is approved, it is then considered by Council.
5.If approved by Council, staff then prepare the required by-law amendment that must also
be considered by Council andbegin the installation process in collaboration with Operations
Services.
Theentire process from intake through to the beginning of the installation process can take
approximately 4-6 months.
The current Uniform Traffic Control by-law gives authorization to the General Manager of
Development and Technical Servicesto “place, erect and maintain or cause to be placed,
erected and maintained such traffic control devices and traffic control signs that are required to
give effect to the provisions of this by-law and/or which are authorized by the Schedules to this
by-law”. Staff are recommending that items that are generally minor in nature be resolved at a
staff leveland authorized under the conditions of the by-law;with input from the community and
Ward councillor; without the submission of a staff report(removal of step 3 and 4). This change
in process would shorten the overall timefor typical resolutionby approximately 2-3 months,

leading to moreefficient customer service while producing the same end product.Should there
be anyobjections from the communitythatcannot be resolved, community members would have
the opportunity to appeal the staff decision before Council. It is worth noting that the City of
Cambridge and the Region of Waterloo already follow a similar process and highlight greater
efficiency and overall customer satisfaction.
All other provisions in the existing By-Law were reviewed and are recommended to remain in
place.
Council of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo has adopted theirconsolidated Uniform Traffic
By-Law and that By-Law is now in effect. The recommended implementation date for the
proposed City of Kitchener Uniform Traffic By-Law is January 2, 2020.

the delivery of core service.
