Background:

The residents of Kensington Avenue have requested that the current parking restrictions be amended to prohibit parking on both sides of the roadway, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

The installation of the parking prohibitions will address the residents' concerns for long term daytime parking.
