Residents living along Dovercourt Road in my ward face continued issues with vehicles preventing access to valid parking locations. These parked vehicles have created significant challenges for residents and their families who are trapped for several hours either waiting for the driver to move the vehicle or for enforcement.

As situations where these residents require immediate access to their vehicle continue to grow, residents are understandably frustrated. We have identified changes to parking regulations on Dovercourt Road that will protect existing parking spaces for visitors while ensuring vehicles are not preventing access for residents.
