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 authorized for a maximum period of five minutes from 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., Monday to Friday on the west side of Dallington Drive, in the vicinity of Dallington Drive Public School. Currently, parking is allowed for the unsigned statutory three-hour maximum limit in this area. The proposed change will promote parking turnover during school arrival and dismissal times for parents / guardians to accompany students to / from the school, thereby mitigating traffic congestion.

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendations 3 and 4 will correct this inconsistency.

The signage costs associated with the proposed amendments are approximately $1,000. Funding is available within the Transportation Services 2026 Operating Budget.
