SUBJECT: ng Restrictions on Coast Meridian Road South of Mary Hill Bypass
ic Works Committee Meeting February 15, 1989)

Fecommencatiocns:

1. That "No Parking At Anytime" restrictions be imposed on Coast Meridian
from the Mary Hill Bypass to the Pitt River Dyke.

2. That the City Clerk take the necessary steps to amend the Traffic
Regulations Bylaw if the above recommendation is approved by Council.

Background and Comments:

The proposed parking restrictions on this section of Coast Meridian Road
originate from the Chief Bylaw Enforcement Officer. During the Committee
meeting he advised that commericial trailers often park for Gays on both sides
of the road. This practice does not only restrict visibility for truck
Grivers entering and exiting private criveways but can also chysically make
the necessary turning movements of tractor trailers in this area very
aifficult since the width of the road is only approximately 10 meters. The
reperted speeding of vehicles by the F.C.M.P. on this roac contributes to the
safety problems.

During the discussions on this matter, the Committee was advised that
there is a provision in our existing Bylaw restricting on-street parking to a
maximum period of 48 hours. After this time limit, the Bylaw Enforcement
Section can have the vehicle removed. The Chief Bylaw Enforcement Officer
felt, however, that it is impractical to take advantage of this provision of
the Bylaw and that it would be better to impose the proposed "No Parking at
Anytime" restrictions on this road.
