Dellwood Road Residential Parking Only PetitionEnd
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
That Council approves the implementation of Traffic Order 1295 "Residential Parking Only" along Dellwood Road, as set out in Staff Report EPW-18-037.
Body
RELEVANT POLICY:
Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw, 2017, No. 2898
STRATEGIC RELEVANCE:
Healthy and Liveable Community - Ensure Multi-modal Traffic Strategies
BACKGROUND:
Dellwood Road is a local road with the streetscape being one of single family homes. There are no parking restrictions on it at this time. The Township has received a request for the implementation of residential only parking from the residents.

* Test 1 - 90% of properties canvassed
* Number of properties signed the petition: 16 of 16
* Test 2 - 80% of properties signed the petition
See Attachment C for Parking Petition. As per the Guide, the petition meets both of the tests for a parking restriction to be implemented.

Signage will be installed as per Part IV, Division 1, section 14 (q) of the Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw, 2017, No. 2898.
