BACKGROUND
In 2001 Municipal Law Enforcement staff received numerous complaints of vehicles and
equipment being parked on the north side of Cedarcrest Beach Road in Bowmanville, On
initial inspection, the officers found a large number of cars, trucks, trailers and various pieces
of equipment parked or stored on the north side of the road, The residents were issued
notices warning that their vehicles would be tagged and possibly towed away if the situation
was not rectified. As a result of subsequent investigations, it was revealed that the road
encroaches on the properties of 67, 69, 71 and 75 Cedarcrest Beach Road, This has resulted
in a lack of adequate parking space on the properties involved,
Staff enlisted the assistance of the Engineering and Operations Departments in order to find a
workable solution, The area was surveyed to determine the exact variance of the road and the
extent of the trespass, A meeting was then arranged with Enforcement, Engineering,
Operations, Planning and the local residents.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
The road in the area of 67 to 75 Cedarcrest is to be relocated to the north back onto the
original road allowance. The fronts of the affected properties will be restored and
reseeded/resodded, The cost of the project has been estimated to be approximately $10,000,
with the funds to be allocated from the Loosetop Maintenance Account 7209-00411-X. Once
this is completed, Enforcement staff will begin dealing with the illegal parking issues,
Staff recognize that the residents of the beachfront are in a very distinct situation as compared
to other homeowners, Erosion from Lake Ontario has effectively reduced the size of their lots
over the years, The Municipality currently permits residents to purchase one on-street parking
pass per property, Because of the unique situation in this area, it is proposed that the
residents on Cedarcrest Beach Road be allowed to obtain two yearly passes for the price of
one monthly pass, These are to be used for currently plated, operational, private motor

vehicles only, Any commercial trucks, boats, trailers, equipment, etc, are to be parked or
stored on the resident's own lot. Vehicles not bearing a valid pass or vehicles incorrectly
displaying a pass will be subject to ticketing, Repeated misuse of the pass may result in the
revocation of the pass,
Staff propose to launch a program to advise the local residents of these changes and allow
them time to acquire their passes,
These changes and proposals were discussed with the local residents in a meeting held at the
Municipal Administrative Centre in April. At that time, the residents indicated their support for
this proposal.
The Director of FinancefTreasurer has reviewed and concurs with the above
recommendations.
