BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
There are four municipal parking lots in Bowmanville. Last fall new parking meters were
purchased for the Church, Division and Silver Street lots. The meters currently charge $2.00
per day for any stay over two hours. When the property at 20 King Street East, Bowmanville
was purchased, the Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) had expressed
concern over the installation of a central meter. As a result, the lot has been operated with
only a three hour time limit, requiring staff to chalk the tires and continually monitor the lot.
Due to the layout of the lot, there has been confusion over where the Division Street pay lot
starts and the King Street three hour free lot ends. Staff have also noticed a certain level of
abuse of the parking spaces, in that many vehicles are left in the lot all day. Staff have spoken
to the DBIA concerning this abuse.
As a result, the DBIA is in favour of converting the King Street lot to pay and display, like the
other three municipal lots. They are also requesting an amendment to the Traffic By-law lot
rates to allow for two hour free parking and fifty cents per hour thereafter. This hourly rate is
the same rate as is charged at the on-street meters.
A central meter will need to be purchased and installed in the King Street lot. Central meters
cost approximately $10,000 each. As this had not been included in the original budget
estimates for this year, staff are therefore requesting authorization to draw on the Parking
Reserve Account to cover this cost. The Director of FinancelTreasurer has been consulted
and concurs with this recommendation.
In order to allow sufficient time for the purchase and installation of the new meter and the
required signs as well as the reconfiguration of the rates charged in the existing lots, it is
suggested that these amendments be made effective June 1S\ 2004.
Once these recommendations are approved, staff will be advising the DBIA and placing
notices in the local media to advise residents of this change and appropriate signs will be
installed in the lot.
