MEMORANDUM

City Engineer ,

FROM: Ike de Boer PROJECT: 586
Project/Traffic Technician

SUBJECT: Eastern Drive Lane Marking

RECOMMENDATION:

1) Do not change current painted center line on Eastern from Penny Place to Denise-Place.
2) Amend Byiaw 1117 to include ‘No Parking’ on Eastern (west side) from Penny Place to
Helen Crescent.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

A resident of Mary Hill (Chief John Baillie) has noted some concern regarding the existing
center line marking on Eastern Drive from Delia to Helen. It was noted that if a vehicle was to
cross the solid center line to avoid an obstruction and an oncoming car was hit, the fault would
lie on the vehicle crossing the line.

EXISTING CONDITIONS:

Eastern Drive from Penny Place to Helen Drive is an 8.5m wide road with parking on the east
side to Delia and parking on both sides From Delia to Mary Hill Road, the
southbound/westbound lane is 3m wide. There are no parking signs in place on Eastern (west
side) from Penny Place to Delia Place. Due to the vertical and horizontal alignment of Eastern,
two solid no passing lines are required on Easter for the full length of the no parking zone,
these lines have been in effect for approx. 20 years. A dashed center line with a solid line on
one side exists from Delia to Elinor.
