Concerns Over Removal of Parking Spots: Questions Raised

Posted on by

Councillor Diane Pouget emailed the following questions to CAO Critchley:

I am very concerned about the removal of two (2) vital parking spots in front of the Salty Dog on Dalhousie Street.  This is the 3rd removal of very limited parking spaces in that area.

I immediately contacted Bill Tetler yesterday morning, while they were building the deck in these prime parking spaces.  Bill explained that Council had approved the Temporary Patio Extension on May 27th.  I am requesting the following information:

  1. A copy of the full report submitted to Council, regarding the Temporary Patio Extension on May 27th.  (Outside of Open Air)
  2. The motion approved by Council, giving permission to remove 2 parking spaces in front of the Salty Dog.
  3. The response and feedback by all businesses in that area, that could be adversely affected by this action.
  4. All correspondence from our relevant committees approving the removal of these parking spots.
  5. A report, regarding any other businesses, that have requested permission to enter into an agreement to remove parking spaces in front of their businesses.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.  I wait for your response.
