ITEM I

Re: Parking Problems at Metro Motors

Mr. Glen McKone of Metro Motors was present on the
invitation of thé Committee to discuss parking problems on
Hastings Street in the vicinity of Metro Motors. Mr. McKone
stated that he had used calcium chloride on the unopened
section. of Salisbury Avenue which he is using for parking
and this had alleviated the dust problem. He also stated
that he would ensure that his employees did not park in the
vicinity of the fire hydrant.

Council had previously agreed to the replacement of
the angle parking on Hastings Street with parallel parking
adjacent to Metro Motors. This had not yet been implemented
pending a discussion with Mr. McKone. Mr. McKone stated that
there was a wide shoulder on the east side of Hastings Street
which presently was designated a "No Parking" zone. If this
could be replaced with a parallel parking zone, then it would
not be a great hardship to have the west side become parallel
parking.

The Committee could not see any objection to having
parallel parking on both sides of the street and therefore
the Committee reconmends that the east side of Hastings Street
adjacent to the Department of Highways Works Yard be changed
from a "No Parking" zone to a parallel parking only zone in
conjunction with the implementation of parallel parking on
the west side of Hastings Street. The Committee also recom-
mends that the sale or lease of the portion of Salisbury
Avenue between Hastings Street and Maple Creek be referred to
the Land Sales Committee as Metro Motors has expressed an
interest in acquiring this.
