I’ve heard from some residents about the need to review the parking on Rushbrook Drive in order to improve safety on the blind bend and help prevent driveways from being blocked. A motion has gone to the council that has triggered a parking review.

Motion: Rushbrook Drive Parking Restrictions by Councillor Broome

Moved by: Councillor Broome Seconded by: Councillor Bisanz

1. That staff be directed to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of further parking restrictions on Rushbrook Drive between house numbers 200 and 212. See map below

While areas across our town also have similar parking concerns our best course of action is to conduct a parking review. A parking review includes the input of the residents directly affected. We are now requesting your input, which will be used to determine the next course of action. Public consultation is key to understanding the parking issues and to determining an outcome that will best suit the community. The support of a majority of residents is needed to recommend any changes to our Council.

Your input can range from…

I am satisfied with the current condition
I would like to further restrict parking so the line of sight for cars is safer
I would like to not have my driveway blocked
or a specific explanation of the concern you are experiencing and photos are helpful.
