Re: Parking for Second Step Society

The Second Step Society has requested changes in the
parking provisions at 2667 Kingsway in front of the building
which they are using for their workshop. At the present time
we have two parking zones in this vicinity. These are shown
on the attached sketch. The building which the Second Step
Society uses is located on Lots 37 & 38 which have a no parking
restriction. Directly to the east is a 15 minute zone in front
of Parcel M which was formerly Lots 34, 35 & 36. This 15 minute
loading zone no longer exists because there is a bus stop in
front of this parcel.

_ It is necessary to retain the no parking zone near

the west end of Lot 38 in order to provide visibility for traffic
-which is stopped on Westwood. The remainder of the frontage,
however, could be corverted to a one hour parking zone since
there is a wide boulevard available in front of the building.

The Committee recommends that our Traffic By-law be
amended to show a no parking zone for the western 75 feet of
the frontage of Lot 38 and that a one hour parking zone be
provided for the remainder of Lot 38 and for Lot 37. The 15

minute zone which now exists in the By-law in front of Lot M
should be cancelled since it isa bus Zone.

Re: Changes in Specifications for
Residential Curbing

At the present time, our Subdivision By-law specifications
allow two different types of curb to be used. The one is the
concrete curb and gutter which is used on major streets and the
other is an extruded concrete curb which is placed on top of the
asphalt on minor streets. There are several problems with the
use of an extruded vertical curb in residential areas. With this
curb it is necessary for the developer to locate the driveway
crossings at the time of road construction in order to provide
a curb let~down for the driveway. This sometimes results ina
restriction of the type of house which the builder can locate on
the property or a requirement to break the curb and put in a new
driveway let-down. The extruded concrete curb also is subject to
breakage from heavy vehicles and from snow plough blades.
