Origin
Summary
Lappin Avenue, between Ward Street and Lansdowne Avenue, currently has alternate side parking regulations that require residents to switch parking sides periodically. However, the north side of the street does not have any residential homes, and many residents have expressed a preference to maintain parking on the south side of the street where their homes are located.
Residents on the street have asked for the removal of alternate side parking, citing the inconvenience of switching and that parking on the north side is underutilized. Maintaining parking on the south side would improve accessibility and parking availability in this neighbourhood.
