Report OES 08-08 April 14, 2008 Subject: No Parking By-law, Brookshire Square iJ g Page 2 Background: In November of 2007, MP&E staff were asked by municipal By-law Enforcement staff to respond to traffic operational concerns from a resident on Brookshire Square. Specifically, municipal staff were requested to investigate and implement No Parking restrictions along the inside loop, north east bend on Brookshire Square (as shown on the attached sketch) as a means of addressing difficulties caused by on street parking and the potential hazard of having to encounter oncoming traffic while endeavoring to avoid parked cars along the sharp curve. Community consultation notices were issued to affected area residents on November 30, 2007. The notice provided to the 67 area residents generated 17 replies (a 25% community response), 13 in support of and 3 in opposition to the controls as proposed. Consequently, staff (in recognition of the community support) recommend that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect No Parking along the inside loop, north east bend on Brookshire Square (see sketch attached). The corresponding draft By-law amendments are attached. Attachments: 1. Parking scheme diagram 2.
