Cycling in Waterloo Region

Here is a map confirming that there is no private property. The sign is clearly incorrect.



(I am assuming that there is no special arrangement with the city allowing a private business to use that area for parking.)

This is not the only example of the city leasing out spaces that are marked as private property.  There were 5 or 6 just off Young St (in the former city lot that is now City Centre).  That was public property, but those spaces were "reserved" for the King St business abutting the lot.

If you park your car (in Kitchener) in a RESERVED space, a LEASED space, or a lot that requires a permit (No pay and display option), you will receive a ticket for "Parked on Private Property - Municipal" under Section 4 of the by-law.


* The fines are out of date, as is the entire ticket book, but the by-law remains.

I stand by my assertation that the signage is correct.

I stand by my rejection of that assertion.

Again, even if you think there is a tiny slice of leased land there, the sign is positioned such that there is not enough space for a car to park between the sign and the sidewalk. There are minimum standards for the width of a parking space which this does not meet. And unlike sidewalks and bike lanes, there are no exceptions for undersized vehicle infrastructure.
