Res Land Use Contract #15.

ZI am sure you will agree that the library should be
piaced in an area in which sufficient public parking is available.
There is already a marked shortage of public parking in the area

' proposede

In this area most of the parking that should be available
to the public has been allocated to city hall staff. Fost Office
staff, Leigh Square Medical Centre staff and Health Unit staff are
all without. parking facilities. In our own case this is the direct
result of action by City Hall in refusing to allow us to purchase
parking space at the time our building was built. At that time
the lot on which ths present library is located was taken back
from us because our building plans designated it as - cking space.
While it is true that this was the action of a pre’. is administration
there is still no reason for the present administr on to ,
increase the parking problem. ;

No detailed study of the parking in the area is necessary
to see that it is inadequate. One need only look around the area
any day of the week to see every. available parking space filled
within two blocks of the proposed site.

Why inconvenience the public by placing their library
in an area where parking is not available to them. We strongly
object to such action. ,

Sincerely,

Baird) MeDeColle
