BACKGROUND
The Municipality currently has four municipal parking lots in the downtown area of
Sowmanville. Three of these lots are equipped with central parking meters while the fourth lot,
located at 20 King Street East is unregulated.
At present the public is allowed free parking for up to three hours, in all municipal lots and must
only pay if their stay exceeds that time. This situation was instituted as a result of consultation
with the Bowmanville SIA. By-law 95-130 amended the requirements for the lots and set the
limit for free parking, in the lots, at three hours.
Since that time staff have enforced the three hour limit in the lots. Staff has spoken to the
BSIA who have indicated displeasure with the current arrangement and time allotment. The
BBIA have stated that, in their opinion, three hours of free parking is excessive and leads to
abuse. They have asked the municipality to reduce the free time to two hours.
The two meters for the Division and Church Street lots are eight years old and were
manufactured by Accent. Staff has encountered problems recently with servicing. The meter
in the Silver Street lot is over fifteen years old and has been vandalized in the past. Staff had
budgeted to replace all three units this year.
CONCLUSION
The first step in reorganizing the parking situation, in the downtown of Bowmanville, is to
reduce the free parking in the lots from three hours to two hours. An amendment to the
Clarington Traffic By-law 91-56 is attached for that purpose. Once the amendment is passed
the signs in the lots will have to be replaced to reflect the lower time.
The new meters will be programmed for two hours free parking and will be configured to
charge $2.00 per day for any time over the two hour limit. The fee for the monthly Parking
Permits for the municipal lots will also be adjusted to $40.00 per month. This is in keeping with
the fee charged for a monthly Municipal On-Street Parking Permit. New signs will be required
to reflect the rates.

At present staff propose to leave the lot at 20 King Street East without a meter. This lot will be
appropriately signed for the two hour limit. Staff will monitor the lot and any vehicles left for
longer than two hours will be ticketed.
