1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The Municipality owns the West Beach Rd. Parkette located on the waterfront at
the south end of West Beach Rd. in Bowmanville (see Attachment 1). There is
signage in the park which states "This park is open during daylight hours only",
and refers to the applicable by-laws. Municipal by-law enforcement staff have
included this area in their night time patrol to ensure compliance with that
posting, and the area is regularly patrolled by Durham Region Police Services.
1.2 To further discourage night time activities in the parkette, staff recommend that
the Municipality's Traffic By-law be amended to include the parking area
associated with the parkette in the No Parking schedule of the by-law to prohibit
parking "from dusk to dawn". Appropriate signage will be placed.
2.0 CONCURRENCE
Not applicable
3.0 CONCLUSION
3.1 The parkette in the West Beach Rd. Area is currently open for daytime enjoyment
by the general public; however, the Municipality does not intend to allow any
night time activity in the parkette and associated parking lot. Staff recommend
that the current restriction on night time use be augmented with a prohibition on
parking at night in that area.
3.2 Staff respectfully recommend that the attached by-law amendment be approved
by Council.
