SUBJECT: No Parking in Lane Behind RPewland Lacrosse Box -
Public Works Committee, July 19th, 1983

RECOMMENDATION:

. That "No Parking At Any Time" signs be placed on the
west side of the tane just east of Mary Hill Road between
Atkins Avenue and the lacrosse box and that the Parks and Rec
Committee consider re-opening the gates on the north side of
the, lacrosse box.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

Complaints have been received by the Parks and Rec
Committee about parking and abusive behaviour In the lane
behind the tacrosse box. The Parks and Rec Committee requested
that ‘the Public Werks Committee consider Signing the lane tor

no parking.

lane it Ts apparent that
parking in the lane wil} not solve the problem
Of the residents. The lane fs part of a much wider parking
area which includes private parking for the residents of the
apartment block, The east side of the lane is nat defined,
The main probtem sppears to be that the only entrance to. the
lacrosse box is now on the south side. The people using. the
lacrosse pox therefore park on the south side because it is
more convenient. In taiking with some of the residents it Is
apparent that they would tike to see the entrance on the north
side of the box re-opened.

The Committee recommends that we try eliminating the
parking on the west side of the lane against the fence to see
whether this will help to organize the Parking in the back,
However, it is not possible for the City to do anything abour
cars which park in the private spaces of the residents so the
alternative of re-opening the gates on the north side should

be considered.
