APPENDIX 1
Comments from Residents:
In Favour:
(a)It is a good idea because sometimes we have to park in the street overnight or a visitor stays, whatever. It is very
convenient to park on the street also.
Not in Favour:
(a)I=m in favour if the permit could be for half month (or so) for each side of the street. I=m not if the permit is only
for whole year on the north side of the street.
(b)I do not see any reason to implement such proposal. My house has it own private driveway.
