Re: Parking Restrictions at 1788 Marshall

7

; Marshall Avenue east of Brown is an unopened road
allowance. However, Mrs. Tyler who lives at 1788 Marshall
gets access from Brown via a driveway which follows the align-
ment of Marshall Avenue. Because this driveway is also at
the back of the industrial building whose address is 1780
McLean, this driveway is often used as an extension of the
parking.lot. At times the driveway is blocked completely.
The By-law Officer has not been able to solve this problem
by discussions with the tenants of the industrial premises.
Although the Motor-Vehicle Act gives police the right to
remove vehicles which are parked in such a way as to obstruct
a driveway, this is no satisfaction to the homeowner who finds
that he cannot leave his house until the cars have been towed
away. Sketch No. 2 refers.

. The Committee recommends the installation of No
Parking signs along the Marshall Avenue right~of-way in such
away as to keep the driveway open. Although this could be
seen to be installing signs for private property, it is in
fact legal for the City because it is on a road allowance.

Re: Further Report on Provision of Water

to the District at Lincoln Avenue

Council had requested a further report in connection
with the request from the District to extend water to Mr.
Atherley who owns property at the north end of Devon Road
across from Mr. Coughlin. ;

Council expressed its concern about pressures for
our own water users. The District water connection comes off
our six-inch main on Lincoln Avenue which is fed by the ten--inch
main on Newberry. and Lincoln. Water pressures to our own residents
in this area have been more.than adequate. Normal pressures are
in the vicinity of 95 p.s.i. and pressures in early August were
in the vicinity of 80 p.s.i. There would therefore be no pressure
or capacity problem.no matter how much water the District drew
though its two-inch connection.

This area should not be confused with ovr area of

Devon and Laurier which is served by a different sy: cem connecting
to Prairie Avenue and dces have extremely low pressures.
