Proposal for Implementation of On-street Permit Parking on Landour Avenue
Comments from Residents:
In Favour:
(a)Strict no parking on west side of Landour Avenue.
Not in Favour:
(a)Everyone has parking on their driveway. Don't see a need for it.
(b)All homes (except one) on this street have driveway and garage. Don't see a need for street parking.
(c)Street is too narrow. When one considers it is dead end, the number of extra vehicles parked will make the entire street
too congested. Landour has enough parking! I believe more residents who do not live on Landour will want to park, which
will reduce the dynamics for those residents who actually live on Landour.
(d)Stricter laws for parking on west side of Landour Ave. One car has been parked on the east side since the first of
January 1999 in front of 7 Landour.
