I am writing to you today to request your support in amending the parking by-laws on St. Mary Street, specifically in the vicinity of the driveway that services 1080 Bay Street and 65 St. Mary Street condominiums.  My office learned of a sightline issue regarding a parking space located adjacent to the east side of the driveway at 65 St. Mary Street. Vehicles parking in this space are an impediment to the sightlines for vehicles exiting this driveway onto St. Mary Street.

Transportation Services, in consultation with my office, is recommending that the existing pay and display parking space on the south side of St. Mary Street and Bay Street be changed to a no stopping anytime regulation. The proposed parking amendment will deter parking at this location and enhance unobstructed sightlines to and from this property.
