Comments:

Directors of the Manor Montessori School located on the west side of Forman Avenue between Manor Road East and Hillsdale Avenue East have requested that consideration be given to amending the existing parking regulations on Forman Avenue, to facilitate pick-up and drop-off of children attending this establishment.

Currently parking is available for a maximum period of one hour from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Forman Avenue from Manor Road East to Hillsdale Avenue East. Implementation of this proposal would provide about five short stay parking spaces and should not adversely affect the safe and efficient operation of traffic on Forman Avenue.
