Victoria Park

I confess that I’ve never seen a street in K-W that was choked with parked cars.  Do they park two abreast or can they squeeze in three?

The worst places I've seen were in the bay area in California, which of course has a housing crisis greater than our own, and also no winter snow removal challenges. Those neighbourhoods would have cars parked on both sides of all the residential streets all the way up. These are not homes with no on site parking, these are modern sprawling homes with driveways which were also filled with cars, it was difficult to drive in, dangerous, and just ugly as sin.

I've not seen anything like that in KW, we are helped by the fact that you cannot park full time on the road, except now maybe you can because you can use the boulevard in the winter.

The worst I've seen in KW was a block just off Highland Rd. where three consecutive homes had used their entire front property for car storage, so each home had about four cars parked in front. Which to be fair, isn't much worse than some townhome developments which pack driveways to a similar density.
