Poll Results: Proposal for Implementation of On-street Permit Parking
On Kitchener Avenue, Between Gilbert Avenue and Caledonia Road
Comments from Residents:
In Favour:
(a)We need overnight parking on Kitchener Avenue.
(b)This would really benefit residents who have a shared driveway and cannot accommodate two cars in the driveway. I
would feel secure knowing that I have a safe place on Kitchener to park my own car.
Not In Favour:
(a)Limited parking spaces will further be limited for visitors such as family. Enforcement will also be even more lax as it
has been over the past two to three months.
(b)Visitors to the area have a better chance to park on the three-hour parking limit than on the twenty-four hour paid
permit parking.
