THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO: City Administrator July 13, 1987
FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Limited Time Parking on Donald Street Public Works
Committee July 7, 1987

Recommendation:

That the portion of the east side of Donald Street from
the south side of the ltaundromat to McAl!ister Avenue be
designated limited time parking - two hours from 8:00 a.m. to
6:00 pom. Monday to Saturday and that the unrestricted parking
be extended south a further twenty feet from its present
position.

Background and Comments:

The Public Works Committee received two opposing letters
on the parking on Donald Street. The previous parking
prohibition was removed on a portion of Donaid Street after
representation by the merchants who required parking for their
customers. These merchants are now pointing out that the
unftimited parking has resulted in abuse by residents of the
aparTment block who are able to avoid paying parking fees by
using the street.

Representation was also received. from one of the apartment
residents who was unable to afford the monthtiy parking fee and
therefore required space on Donald Street.

The Committee felt that a compromise could be achieved by
designating a portion of Donald Street as two hour parking.
This should provide sufficient space for customers using the
businesses and stil! leave some room for apartment residentse
