1.2 The Mayor's office received a call from Mr. Lloyd Down on April 18, 1988
inquiring of the status of the petition. Mr. Down also contacted
Durham Regional Police regarding the parking situation and asked them
to contact the owners of the three businesses, Dempster's, Ducan Interior
Contractors and Miko Interior Supplies with the intent that the police
meet with the businesses to influence them to discourage parking on
Baseline Road in front of their businesses.
1.3 Subsequently the Police suggested that Mr. Down should contact the
businesses personally and that quicker results may be received.
Mr. Down then contacted each of the three businesses and requested
that they refrain from parking on Baseline Road.
1.4 A representative from the Public Works Department met with Mr. Down
in September 1988 and was advised that he has not seen any parking
at the locations in question since his meeting with the businesses
involved.
1.5 Mr. Down advised the Public Works Department representative,
Ron Baker, that he is very satisfied with the situation at this time
and agrees that no further action be taken regarding no parking
signing.
1.6 Paragraph 4 of the petition in question stated that a seven year
old boy was killed at that location. It should be noted that the accident
in question happened seven years ago and was not directly related to
the present situation.
2.0 RECOMMENDATION
2.1 It is, therefore, recommended that no further action be taken and
that the Public Works Department send a letter to all three businesses
thanking them for their co-operation and that a copy of this report be
forwarded to Mr. Lloyd Down, R.R.#2, Bowmanville, Ontario, LlC 3K4.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation

COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTION
To the Mayor and members of Newcastle Council 3`7"' 1Ol
Subject : Request for a designated 'No Parking , area
Location ; Base Line Road
Concessions 1 and Broken Front
Lots 29 & 30
Dear Sir, and Council Members
We request that consideration be given to create a 'No Parking1
section of road on the Base Line, Concession 1 - Broken Front
Lots 29 & 3'0. ,
This area is in front of industrial facilities occupied at
present by Dempsters--Ducan Interior Contractors--Miko Interior
Supplies.
Parking on the road, has become a practice at times.
Ample side street parking is available, and rarely used, to the
Fast of these industrial facilities.
A seven year old boy was killed at this very location.
This emphasizes the urge of residents to initiate this request
as soon as possible.
The area in question is loca ted on a knoll which doesnit
allow a clear vision of oncoming traffic either way.
We the following would appreciate your immediate attention
and hopefully your concern, as well as ours, for the safety of
the public.
