THAT the attached by-law amendment be approved to permit the installation of parking metres on the west side of Temperance Street between King Street and Church Street, save and except the area in front of the Town Hall Building and in front of any fire hydrants. 1. BACKGROUND: 1.1 As Members of Council are aware that area merchants have objected to the west side of Temperance Street between Church Street and King Street being signed "No Parking". 1.2 Previously, Council requested that the area in front of the Town Hall be signed "No Parking" (Refer to Attachment No. 1) . It was felt that this area be kept free to allow better exposure of the Town Hall as well as to facilitate better two-way traffic movement on Temperance Street. The area south of the building . . .2 �� � ` � \ REPORT 0O. : PD-28-89 PAGE 2 _______________________________________________________________________________ proper to Highway 2 on the west side of Temperance Street was to be monitored as to the necessity of some additional parking spaces in this area. In order to implement Lbio' "No Parking" signs were posted. 2. COMMENT: 2.1 Since the occupation of the Town Hall, parking surrounding the Town BoIl has been a continuous concern to many. Staff are cognizant of the fact that more parking opooeo may be required and feel that the merchants may have u legitimate concern notwithstanding that we have noticed some motorists are using the west aide of Temperance Street to access the Post Office. 2.3 Staff have no difficulty to recommend parking on the west side of Temperance Street provided the area in front of the Town Hall Buidliug, where there is a fire hydrant, be kept free. In addition, the area adjacent to the other fire hydrant further south should also be kept "No Parking". Staff estimate that a total of four (4) parking spaces can be provided. These parking spaces will be required to be metced. 3.3 To implement the above recommendation, the Town's Parking By-law will have to be amended and the amending by-low is attached hereto.
