ITEM I

Re: Parking at 2600 Mary Hill Road

At the request of Council the Committee considered the
complaint from Mr. & Mrs. Graham of 2600 Mary Hill Road dealing
with vehicles parked in front of their driveway and blocking it.
The Grahams have been prevented from using their driveway a
number of times in the past year and have made complaints to the
police and By-law Officer. Cars have been towed away from in front
on the driveway. However, having to wait for a vehicle to be towed
away before being able to use their driveway is a frustrating
experience.

x investigation, it appears that the main problem at

“this address is that the driveway may not be recognized as such

by drivers looking for a Place to park. The driveway consists of
two wheel tracks and is obviously not used very frequently and
this may lead drivers to believe that it is abandoned.

The Committee would be reluctant to install parking signs to
define a driveway as this is obviously not what parking signs are
intended for. It would seem to the Committee that it would be much
better for the Grahams to define their own driveway, either by

_ putting markers out close to the road or by putting up signs saying

"Private Driveway - No Parking". Therefore, the Committee recommends

that the City do not install No Parking signs at this location.
