we have proceeded to install the No Parking signs on the west

recommends no parking on the east side of Lancaster from the
intersection of Kitchener to 10 meters south.

Re: Parking on Wellington Street adjacent to PoCo Senior
Secondary School

A letter was received from Mr. McFarlane complaining
about the restricted road width on Wellington Street in front
of the PoCo Senior Secondary School because of angle parking
on the east side of the street by night school students.

There is normal parking on the west side of Wellington
Street and the parking on the east side is not allowed between
8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The simplest solu-
tion would be to extend the hours of the parking restriction
to include evenings. However, it is apparent that the parking
space along both sides of the street is very much required to
accommodate the night school classes. The width of the shoulder
on the east side is such that there is not room for angle
parking without the vehicles projecting onto the pavement.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that signs indicating
parallel parking only be installed on the east side of Wellington
Street ‘adjacent to the school. In order to not conflict with
the present signs which indicate No Parking 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p-m., the parallel parking signs would have to indicate that
the parallel parking applies only to the hours between 5:00
p.m. and 8:00 a.m.. .

Respect fualy submitted,
