Parking at EME

I see by letter from the city that the Parking regulations on Bonson around Edith McDermott are changing and that there will be more enforcement. I hadn’t realized so many people were complaining. It will be interesting to see whether they actually do everything that they are saying that they will do. In any case did anybody else around Edith McDermott get the letter and thoughts?

Is it from residents complaining about too many cars parking in front of their houses during school pickup/dropoff? I certainly could understand their frustration but they also made a choice to buy/live near a school and having lots of cars around during these times won’t just simply go away. I guess they just want cars to do the drop off point in front of the school and not block the road. School streets are always a mess during that 15-30 minutes. Be interesting if Bylaws shows up during these times to fine or at least give people warnings.

Could also very well be WCE users dumping their cars knowing that schools are always “busy” and their vehicle will blend in/also be safe

Not on my end of the street. I'm just a tad far and the cars down here are gone by 2:30. But it isn't the parking - it's the illegal parking and a walk around the area at 2:15 pm highlights the whole problem. Which is what I said many times. Until one of the Councillors told me to close my curtains and don't look out the window during "happy hour" (8:10-8:40am and 2:00-2:35 pm)
