Parking situation a nightmare ...
from page 1
David Corrie questioned whether the con-
fusion was caused by the new parking condi-
tions or the lack of signs.
"There were no signs directing the public,
therefore, with no signs for one and a half
weeks, would a normal person not be confus-
ed?" he questioned.
Mr. Gibbings said the signs were erected
late because they did not arrive in time.
"They were ordered, but they weren't is
in time...," he said.
Maynard Corrie took a different line of
questioning by asking, "Ladies and
gentlemen, can you sit there and say you're
providing the taxpayers with adequate safe-
ty? Can you say the sidewalks are
adequate?"
Mayor Balfour answered for council,
stating, "Yes."
John Cochrane then asked Mr. Gibbings to
quote the price of installing the regular type
of sidewalk. Mr. Gibbings said it would cost
$14,000 to put sidewalks on Mary Street from
King to Issac Streets and on Issac Street
from Mary to Wellington Streets.
Maynard then wondered if this was too
much to ask for a core area and was told by
Mayor Balfour that others have been
Input wanted
waiting a long time to have proper
sidewalks.
"The pavement is smooth there.
Sometime when the town has a lot of money
they don't know what to do with, maybe
they'll use it there," said the mayor.
In reply to that comment, Maynard ques-
tioned the amount of traffic that other
sidewalks get in comparison to the traffic at
Kuenzig's.
To end the discussion, council unanimous-
ly passed an amendment to the bylaw which
allows 45 degree angle parking on the east
side of Issac Street along the building.
"I think council bas acted in good faith
and made a bad decision with the parallel
parking,..It was a circus," said Mayor
Balfour.
In all, approximately $4,000 was spent on
trying to'solve the parking situation.
Four Way Stop
It was also decided to make the three way
stop now located at Wellington and Issac
Streets into a four way stop.
According to the report, "...there was a
real safety hazard. with north bound traffic
entering the intersection along Issac Street
from a southerly direction."
