Origin
Summary
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services is recommending that parking be limited to one side of the street for the entire length of Talara Drive, Caracas Road and Bessarion Road. Currently, parking is generally allowed for the unsigned statutory three-hour limit on both sides of these streets. Parking on both sides of the street obstructs two-way traffic. The proposed parking prohibitions will address this matter.
During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendations 2 and 3 will correct this inconsistency.
