Transportation Committee today approved an updated Traffic and Parking By-law. The update doubles the maximum parking time to six hours for unsigned, on-street spaces on weekends and statutory holidays, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. The updated by-law, which would go into effect June 1, 2018, will also be harmonized with City and provincial legislation.
The Committee approved Statements of Work for two environmental assessments in Barrhaven. This is the first step in constructing rail-grade separation at Woodroffe Avenue, Southwest Transitway and Fallowfield Road. The second assessment is for a multi-use pathway along Jockvale Road.
Funding for the assessments is subject to approval of a request in the 2018 Budget.
Items approved at today’s Transportation Committee will go to City Council on Wednesday, September 13.
