2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 Leigh Street was constructed as the new access to the Orono
Park and Princess Street was closed at Regional Road 17 (Main
Street) during the fall of 1995. During the summer of 1996,
residents of Princess Street were concerned that vehicles
parked on both sides of the nearby streets were preventing
them from accessing their property. One resident with a motor

home was unable to access or leave his property during these
peak periods.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 Parkins Demand
During the summer, parking demands are very high for the Orono
Park. The parking fee of $5.00 inside the Orono Park has
encouraged many patrons to park on both sides of the adjoining
streets.
3.2 Safety Concerns
The traffic obstruction created by vehicles parked on both
sides of the adjoining streets hinders both the residents and
emergency vehicles..
3.3 Sv-law Chaaaea
During 1996, to alleviate this safety concern, "NO PARKING"
signs were installed as an interim measure by the Director of
Public Works as per Traffic By-law 91-58, 3 (5):
"The Chief of Police and the Director of
Public Works are hereby authorized to erect or
place temporary "No Parking" and/or "No
Stopping" signs on any highway."
"NO PARKING" signs were added to both sides of Princess and
Leigh Streets during 1996, with additional signs being
required on a portion of the south side of Station Street.
In order to enact the permanent "NO PARKING" regulations, it
is neessary that Council pass a by-law.

REPORT NO.: WD-7-97
PAGE 3
Traffic By-law 91-58, Schedule 16 Stop Signs, should also be
amended to include the "STOP" conditions associated with the
new streets. Due to the unusual intersection of two (2)
public roadways and two (2) private laneways at the entrance
to the Orono Park, an "ALL-WAY STOP" situation was created at
the time of construction.
4.0 CONCLIISIONS
4.1 From the above, it is recommended that Council formally pass
the attached by-laws to enforce the temporary regulations
imposed by the Director of Public Works.
Respectfully submitted,
Steph/~ oke~ ng.
