Board 45 more parking spaces Chalk Street resident Dorothy Drager said during a phone interview that something has to be done about the traffic congestion on her street. "When you can't get in and out of your driveway, there's a problem," she said. Drager said that even when her driveway is not blocked there are so many cars parked on the street that it's hard to see if anyone is coming while backing out of the driveway. "You take your life in your hands," she said. Avon Maitland facilities administrator Mike Rau said during a phone interview that the hoard is planning to alleviate the parking problems by building 45 additional parking spaces on the cast side of the tennis courts this summer when a new 6,000 -square -foot maintenance building is erected to house nine maintenance staff members From Page 1 in the future," he said. Mayor Joe Seili told Williamson he could sympathize with the daycare. "I can see the predicament you were in. You got blasted both ways," he said. As well as attending the council meeting, Williamson sent a letter to council which outlined the daycare's plans to move the shed and garbage bin, which were placed at the front of the building because the ground was too soft to move them to their intended locations. "We understand that the building (storage shed) cannot stay where it is presently located, however, we would ask for some patience again due to the weather and the weather alone," said his letter. Williamson added that the steel siding at the daycare centre is no different than the Agriplex, located down the street. Grey Coun. Mark Beaven asked if parking bylaws are being followed on Chalk Street but Seili responded that the municipality has no one to enforce traffic bylaws. Clerk -Administrator Jack McLachlan said that at a recent meeting between Huron East and school board staff, Avon Maitland administrators knew that parking was creating problems on Chalk Street. Seaforth Coun. Joe Steffler said he hoped those visiting the board office or school could have some respect for the residents of the street. "They should have enough common sense and respect that they don't park in front of someone's driveway," he said. Beaven agreed with the residents' letter that complained that two crosswalks, planned for the Franklin Street intersection and in front of the fenced entrance at the north end of the school, were unnecessary. But, Public Works Coordinator John Forrest said the two crosswalks. located 100 feet apart, don't cause a problem. "I've watched it and it works fine. And, it's only for 10 minutes every morning and afternoon," he said. "I don't want to be around if someone's kid gets hit. If that's what the school wants, that's what I want," added Brussels Coun. David Blaney. currently working in Clinton and Stratford. "The complaints in the neighbourhood prompted the new parking lot." he said Monday. Steve Howe, media relations officer with the Avon Maitland school hoard, said that between the hoard office and Seaforth Public School, less than 10 complaints have been received about parking on Chalk Street. "In all cases, we immediately sought out the owner and had the car moved in just a few minutes," he said. "There were never prolonged delays." Howe said he hopes the new parking lot, which is expected to he tendered May 17 with a' completion date of Aug. 15, will solve the congestion, which he said is particularly had on Wednesdays when the board office hosts the most workshops.
