RECOMMENDATIONS:
That parking be prohibited on both sides of Doon Valley Drive between Pinnacle Drive and
Conestoga College Boulevard Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. ;and further,
That the Uniform Traffic By-law be amended accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
Transportation Planning has received a request to review the existing on-street parking
regulations on Doon Valley Drive between Pinnacle Drive and Conestoga College Boulevard.
Parking is prohibited Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. due to on-street parking being
generated by users of Conestoga College. The request suggested that parking be prohibited
Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. At the present time, Conestoga College charges a fee
for campus parking up until 4:00 p.m. on weekdays, after which time parking is free. Campus
parking is also free on weekends.
REPORT:
Currently, parking is prohibited on both sides of Doon Valley Drive between Pinnacle Drive and
Conestoga College Boulevard from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, as outlined in the
City of Kitchener Uniform Traffic By-law No. 2007-138.
Transportation Planning delivered surveys to the affected residents and notified them of the
proposal to prohibit on-street parking Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. on both sides of Doon Valley Drive between Pinnacle Drive and Conestoga College
Boulevard. The survey results are as follows:
