Poll Results: Proposal for Implementation of On-Street Permit Parking
on Holmesdale Crescent, Between Ennerdale Road and Holmesdale Road
Comments from Residents:
In Favour:
(a)I have a single-car driveway and two cars. I am sick and tired of paying for parking tickets. Please, I need a parking
permit.
(b)Hope this will be enforced better than the three-hour parking by-law and front yard parking. Anything goes on this
street!
(c)Good idea!
Not In Favour:
(a)Takes away 'liberty' of residents - gives feelings of a stranger in their own home. The things are so peaceful on street.
No change is necessary.
(b)This proposal is highly unfair! i) Our street has smaller houses with single driveways. Consequently, we are tired of
being boxed in by parked cars; ii) Cars are parked so close to our entrance that the waste collectors often go by our houses
leaving waste on the curb. Last time, the blue box was left full on June 19, 1998; iii) If you insist on passing this proposal,
parking should be divided equally on both sides of the street; iv) As a taxpayer, I suppose our displeasure should be taken
into consideration.
(c)I do not wish permit parking because people already park too close to my driveway and block my passage out.
