cnnnot uccommodnte ali of thc nssociatcd vehicles. As a result, over(low parking is found in thc
unregulated urens of Glenannn Road being thc soutii sidc of thc roadwny. Although n slanJard
condilion docs cxisl within Town By-Inw 2359187 which prohibits parking within 10 mctres of
nn intersection, this condition is not regulnrly enforced or very weil known by most motorists. In
most cases, however, thc 10 mclre no•parking reslriction is typicnlly insufficient for major
collector roadways such as Glcnanna Road and as such docs very littic to improvc thc sightlinc
rcquirements for motorists.
As n means to improvc vehicle sightlines and safcty on Glcnanna Raud nt thc inlcrsectinns of
Wnlnut Lunc, Listowell Cresccnt and Storringlon Strcct it is recommendcd that Ihc 10 mclrc
standard condition bc exicnded to the limits as set oul in thc attachcJ amcnding bylaw. Thcsc
rccommended limits arc thc minimum dislances that are rcquired la providc suitahlc sighllincs
for the design and operating conditions found on Glenanna Road in this area.
It should be noled that in order for this parking by-law to be effectivc, it musl rcceive rcgular
periodic enforcement.
