City staff have met with officials from the Dragon Boat Club to assist in the facilitation of
the event. Concerns were expressed over previous events with regards to the
congestion caused by on street parking by attendees. In the event of an emergency
there have also been concerns expressed over access for emergency vehicles. In
order to avoid this situation City staff are recommending a temporary by-law prohibiting
stopping on Breezy Drive and Oklahoma Drive of highways under the City's jurisdiction.

carried out successfully for the 2004 Dragon Boat Club Races.
