SUBJECT: Parking Problem on Kebet Way

RECOMMENDATIONS :

1. Turn down the request to restrict overnight parking on the south side
of Kebet Wav.

Amend the Traffic Regulations Bylaw to include ‘Industrial Property’
in the section that lists land use types. which prevent parking within
5 metres of their drivewavs.

Paint the curb vellow for a distance of 5 metres on each side of the
driveways on the south side of Kebet Way.

REQUESTS

Two requests ceceived are to restrict overnight pavking on the south side
of Kebet and place no parking restrictions adjacent to their driveway.

The reason for these requests is because of the difficulty that tractor
trailers are having entering and exiting their lot when vehicles are parked
too close to their drivewav. The letter states that trailers are oirten
parked right adjacent to their driveway opening. 30 that when the tractor
returns to hook up. a vehicle won't be parked in front or the trailer.

EXISTING BYLAW

Presently the Traffic Regulation Bylaw prevents parking within 5 metres of
driveways into hotels, theatres, public meeting places. dancehalls and
playgrounds. One of the intents of this Bylaw is likely to permit easier
access for large vehicles. With the addition of ‘Industrial Zoned

Property’ to this existing list. the 5 metre parking restriction could be
marked and enforted on Kebet Way.

Painting the curb adjacent to driveways that are experiencing a problem may
be more appropriate than installing signs, in this case.
