We’re proposing improvements in your area

We’ve received several complaints regarding drivers blocking driveways and parking incorrectly, making it difficult for cars to turn around at the head of the cul-de-sac and avoid collisions. 

We investigated these complaints and confirmed there are safety concerns:

  • Parked cars are obstructing driveways causing access issues for residents and emergency services.
  • We tried temporary monitoring of the area and issued infringement notices for illegal parking, but we found that drivers would leave for a while then reappear, further frustrating residents.

We’re proposing to:

  • Install angle parking in the middle of the cul-de-sac head. This would create 9 new parking spaces. This makes it much easier for cars to move in and out of parking spaces, lessening the likelihood of a collision while making it easier for drivers to stay within the lines of their parking space.
  • Install no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) along the cul-de-sac head. This clears access to residents’ driveways and ensures the safe turning of vehicles.
