SUBJECT: Parking in 3300 Block Coast Meridian Road ~ Public
Works Committee October 6, 1987

Racommendatian:

That a wooden bumper curb be installed in front of 3310
Coast Meridian Road with the astimated cost of $400 being taken
out of the unallocated funds in the Public Works Capital
Budgat; and that the Traffic Bylaw be amended to allow angle
parking In front of 3384 and 3410 Coast Meridian Road.

Background and Comments:

There is a wide shoulder on the east side of Coast
Meridian Road north of Salisbury Avenue which is designated for
angle parking In front of 3310 and has no parking control over
the remainder of the street. Cars angle parking in front of
3310 have bean overhanging the sidewalk creating a problem for
pedestrians. Because the shoulder is gravel, there is no
opportunity to install @ proper curb. However, it is possible
to install a wooden bumper curb using six by six timbers
anchored to the shoulder by rods driven through the timbers
Into the ground. To do the entire frontage of the wide
shoulder would cost approximately $1,600. However, to do the
portion which is currently designated for angle parking would
cost only $400. Since funds in The Unallocated Public Works
Budget are limited, the recommendation is only to do The

portion where there is currently a problem.

- tro OR,

The Committee also feels that the remainder of the wide
shoulder should be dasignated for angle parking in order to
organize the parking which is now taking place with a mix of
both paraltol and angie parking.
