4) Parking Problems on Kingsway at Mary Hill Rd.

The concern of the resident is that large trucks are parking on Kingsway too close
to Mary Hill Rd. He says that it is difficult to see around these trucks when
entering Kingsway from Mary Hill Rd. He would like to see a "No Parking”
restriction imposed on Kingsway 50m east and 50m west of Mary Hill Rd.

Kingsway Ave. is a truck route and parking is allowed on both sides of Kingsway
from the Bypass to Westwood St.(except on curves). Restricting parking on this
road would only encourage drivers to park their trucks on residental and non-truck
route streets. This would cause problems for both homeowners and smaller
commercial businesses that need the parking space for customers.

Solutions:

a) Restrict the parking on Kingsway 6m from either side of the intersection at
Mary Hill Rd. This will create a greater sight distance and allow safer access from
Mary Hill onto Kingsway.

Cost of two "No Parking" signs is approx. $200.

5) The resident’s last concern is regarding the zoning of a parcel of land on the
north west comer of Citadel Dr. and Confederation Dr. He is concerned that the,
area residents will have no say in what sort of business will be allowed to operate

there.

When a parcel is zoned for a specific purpose, in this case it is C-1, then the
commercial business that can operate there is limited. The Planning Dept. is
encouraging the re-zoning of this parcel to C-2 which will allow a wider choice of
business to possibly operate there. If a re-zoning occurs, the City Clerk's office
will notify the residents of the area by letter informing them of a public hearing.
At that time they are welcome to air their views for council. If the property
remains C-1 then the residents do not have a say in what kind of business can
operate there. |
