BACKGROUND:
The City of Kitchener has carried out major roadway improvements on Joseph Street from
Richmond Avenue to Ontario Street South as part of the 2007 road reconstruction program. The
reconstruction design of Joseph Street involved the addition of on-street parking bays.
Prior to construction, parking was prohibited at anytime on both sides of Joseph Street from
Richmond Avenue to Ontario Street South. Additionally, stopping was prohibited on the south
side of Joseph Street from Richmond Avenue to Ontario Street South from 11:30a.m. to
12:30p.m., and from 4:30p.m. to 5:30p.m., Monday-Friday, as well as on the north side of
Joseph Street from Richmond Avenue to Ontario Street South from 4:30p.m. to 5:30p.m.,
Monday-Friday as outlined in the City of Kitchener Uniform Traffic By-law.
REPORT:
As part of the Joseph Street Reconstruction project additional on-street parking bays were
considered as a component of the redesign of the roadway. It was concluded that on-street
parking could be permitted for two (2) consecutive hours from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight with
no re-parking within five (5) hours of initial parking (The "Downtown" No Re-parking by-law).
Therefore, Transportation Planning recommends that on-street parking be permitted for two (2}
consecutive hours from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight with no re-parking within five ~5} hours of
initial parking on the south side of Joseph Street from a point 8 metres east of Richmond Avenue
to a point 15 metres east thereof, on the south side of Joseph Street from a point 41 metres east
of Richmond Avenue to a point 34 metres east thereof, as well as on the north side of Joseph
Street from a point 40 metres west of Ontario Street to a point 53 metres west thereof, as shown
on the attached plan, and that the City of Kitchener Uniform Traffic By-law be amended
accordingly.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The approximate cost for signing including installation, for the roadway is $800 and will be taken
from the existing sign maintenance budget.
