Parking in Waterloo Region

[Coke6pk]

Coke, from your experience in bylaw enforcement,  can you possibly shed some light on why boulevard parking is permitted in ward 5 only? I often see it in other parts of the city,  so I'm guessing that it's enforced on a complaint basis only.

The Activa area was a ticket heaven!  Driveways too small, a roadway too small to accommodate on-street parking on both sides (Hackberry St), by-law loved the neighbourhood!  Residents complained enough to have boulevard parking allowed [which itself is a safety issue, blocking roadway sightlines from neighbouring driveways].

In the rest of the city, it is enforced when officers observe it, not only on complaint.  [We would just drive around looking for boulevards, sidewalks, fire hydrants, NPA's (No Parking Anytime), NSA's (No Stopping Anytime)]  The only by-law enforced by complaint only is the 3 hr by-law, EXCEPT around the hospitals where it was part of a pre-planned route.
