Residential Parking Permit Review Verbatim Report August 1, 2019 Residential Parking Permit Review Verbatim Report August 1, 2019 Verbatim Comments Verbatim comments include all of the suggestions, comments and messages that were collected online and in-person. Verbatim comments from phase two are included here. Offensive words and personally identifying information have been removed and replaced with either, [removed] or [personal information removed]; otherwise, verbatim comments are completely un-edited. For each of the themes below, we asked you to tell us why you thought a particular option could address the concern. In many cases, the comment indicates a letter ranging from A to E as we asked you to identify which option you were referring to. The following report is laid out by topic, followed by the policy options, followed by verbatim comments. Residential on-site parking Residential Parking Permit restrictions (near major generators) Residential Parking Permit restrictions (exclusionary) Businesses visiting a home Residential Parking Permit eligibility and review process Other types of zone restrictions, including hourly, paid, and unpaid Commercial / residential interface In-zone commuting Topic: Residential on-site parking A. Cap the total number of permits at two (2) per residence with no eligibility to purchase more B. All permits must be purchased by residents rather than receiving two (2) at no cost with the option to purchase as many as necessary. C. Residents are only eligible for permits if there is no available on-site parking D. Two permits per single family dwelling at no cost with the option to purchase more (multi-family dwellings are not included) Yes, stop subsidizing parking. No one should feel entitled to the space in front of their home. WE are paying - via taxes should not charge anyone to have visitor parking permits to have company. Unfairly penalize inner city residents. 1/291 Residential Parking Permit Review Verbatim Report August 1, 2019 Yes, stop subsidizing parking. If people want to store a private vehicle on public property they should pay a fee. Just charge significantly more $$ for additional permits. At no cost w/ the option to buy more. Residential. Two permit per family at no cost & addit'l one at cost for visitors. Think of a party scenario w/ driveway etc. should be able to park 5 - 7 vehicles. Feel that 2 at no-cost is acceptable. Also no-cost recognizes that income levels vary e.g elderly, young families People should be encouraged to use their garage more; maybe 1st free permit only. This should be per lot not dwelling unit. For example homes with secondary suites have large amounts of permits. Maybe based on frontage? Should not have to purchase extra permits if need more than 2 visitor tags. Should have a temporary short-term option for >2 visitors. I think that having two parking spots absolutely addresses my need. Agree 2 per residence with no option for more otherwise encroaching on other neighbours parking/access 2 maximum. No option to purchase more. Must apply to lanes/alleyways also. Should be clearly visible tag. Offenders should be ticketed. Minimum of 2 permits at no cost to residents. Availability of on-site parking (e.g. garage) should have no impact on eligibility. This is a fairness principle. People choose to live at residence with or without onsite parking at their own choosing/freedom. Yes, for other family members living in the residence Yes. # of permits should be tied to front footage of the lot. We have a neighbour on a 25' lot that has 4 vehicles. Our 6-plex has 100% parking but I can't park in front when doing maintenance. 2 permits per lot; not building or dwelling unit. Yes. But if you have a secondary suite for income you should have a garage. If the new permits are tied to residents with licence plate yes, but with a limit place time limits (ie. 2 days) that a vehicle can remain on the street without moving. People should not be allowed to use street as storage space. No extra permits. Use on-site parking, please!! Leave some space for the rest of us and visitors Could be a good way to generage extra revenue. Pay-to-play is a but unfair for lower income households, however, lower income households may have less cars anyway Price should escalate the more permits you buy. Resident permits only for vehicles registered at that address. Shouldn't be capped. Should be able to purchase more than 2 - family dynamics have changed. <max 4-6> This option would work well because this would force residents to use their own parking-garages, pad and driveway, instead of choosing to park on streets which could be used by others and visitors. 2/291 Residential Parking Permit Review Verbatim Report August 1, 2019 If we are forced by law to keep our sidewalk clean, then we should be allowed to park along it vs doing this for other people to park along our property front Generally agree, would encourage people to use garages, and rear access. Possibly have to purchase a permit/guest permit if have on site for 2 vehicles More effort will be needed to go through an evaluation process, but seems most fair it makes sense that if a resident Do Not have any driveway or garage of its own the resident should be able to park in front of their house only consider not relaxing parking Get rid of permits crazy. I can't unload groceries from my garage! No, we should be able to park in front of our home. No, if ppl want to use their own on-site parking for uses other than parking, that's their choice. No different from owning a shed instead of a garage. ppl take advantage of the street parking esp w/ 2ndary suite application. Don't feel they need onsite parking! (issue) Would I be able to get more than 2 permits, if I needed 4? Daycare near my house - do they ever get a ticket? In RPP-only zone (other type) Business parking relaxations are causing lots of spillover issues in one area. Businesses need adaquate parking and no relaxations. The digital solution for permit is creating more problems than it is solving. Not easy to use. Inconvenient. Digital pirates taking advantage of the system to make money I have similar problem. Neighbours with driveway don't use it to park. Instead they park second vehicles in front of my house so friends with limited mobility have to park down the street many houses away. These vehicles are parked for weeks rarely being used or moved. And they go on vacation for weeks & leave car on street. Empty garage & driveway. Let's go back to residential parking permits to identify resident vehicles. Also for guests. Problem: unidentified cars park in front of my house (sometimes for days without a ticket), so there's no place for my guests to park. Also: my next door neighbour with 2 trucks parks in front of my house (sometimes for days) with a permit, my car in front of my house. Thank you. Presently residents are parking on the street & renting out their onsite parking using apps some may even be using apps for "visitor" parking. Going digital is a problem. the residents of each community should decide about their community and not outsiders 2 per household is a fair and reasonable amount. The new parking app makes it easy for visitors to register guest plates for a 24 hours period. Also- homeowners use their garages for many functions, not just parking. AirBNB, carriage houses and Lodging houses are making money with no business permit or business liscense in R1 zone, they need to pay for more than 2 parking permits In Sunnyside near the C-train station, the parking situation is difficult and most residents in the area have garages or parking pads that should be used first. On site parking is usually an additional fee. This can create a financial burden, especially if the household has more than one vehicle. 3/291 Residential Parking Permit Review Verbatim Report August 1, 2019 Seems reasonable and simple. Limits the impact of one residence on street parking availability. Coupled with the 2 required on-site parking stalls, that provides up to 4 per family - plenty. The street should not become the default parking spot for residences, nor should people be allowed to fill a street with vehicles just because they’ve filled their garages with too much stuff. Visitors Businesses working at the home must have an option to park there. Providing this at a reasonable cost is mandatory. This option has the most flexibility. The cost for the third permit could be set at a level that would encourage homeowners to create spaces to park on their property We live in a high traffic area within walking distance to LRT and SAIT. This creates issues, but I notice that many if my neighbours fill their garages with junk and then complain that they can't find parking. First permit should be $1000, second $2000, third $4000 per house hold, and so on. Low income households should be able to purchase one low income permit. We need to change our car culture! This structure would force my house hold to change its behaviour. The city should not dictate the number of residents in a housing type. Certain living situations exist where a small family of 3 in a 2 bedroom apartment requires 3 cars. General market and living forces, limited parking space and improvements to transit will pressure users to reduce car use. While I agree that on-site parking should be a primary parking option, a financial punishment for needing or choosing to park on the street is not reasonable.

    Urban Transport of China No. 03 Citation: Lee Chee Chiew. Policing Strategies on Road Safety Management in Metropolis: Singapore's Experience in Road Safety Education [J], Urban Transport of China, 2018 (03): 52–61. Policing Strategies on Road Safety Management in Metropolis: Singapore's Experi- ence in Road Safety Education Lee Chee Chiew Singapore Police Force, Singapore 698928, Singapore Abstract: This paper provides an outline of Singapore’s experience in promoting road safety, through the imple- mentation of various initiatives that aim to build and foster a culture of road safety and courtesy among road users. All these new initiatives collectively form the “Safer Roads Singapore” Action Plan, and the action plan rests on the principle that “Every life matters”, and one life lost is one too many. These initiatives are formulated based on the Traffic Police’s three-pronged approach towards road safety—namely, Enforcement, Engagement, and Educa- tion—which has enabled it to gradually reduce the number of road fatalities in Singapore over the last decade. Since the implementation of this Action Plan in 2013, TP has seen further improvement in road fatalities. TP will continue to pursue its strategy in a bid to keep road fatalities low and to ensure safer roads for all, amidst a challenging oper- ating environment. DOI: 10.13813/j.cn11-5141/u.2018.0308-en Keywords: road safety; enforcement, education & engagement; Singapore 1 Background stakeholders, and education of all road users. TP seeks to achieve further improvements in road fatalities through the (1) implementation of the “Safer Roads Singapore” Action Singapore has a human population of about 5.6 million and a land area of 719.2 km2, with a total public paved road Plan.

EDRS PRICE! MF01/PC13 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Employment Opportunities: *Employment Potwatial: *Mild Mental Retardation: *Occupations: Vor.;ational Education IDENTIFIERS *Dictionary of Occupational Titles: *Job Titl*Js ABSTRACT This publication reports results of an attempt to estimate the types of jobs potentially available to retarded workers by analyzing the job titles in the fourth edition of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT). Literature is reviewed that focuses on factors inhibiting the development of the full range of job options of the retarded. Discussion follows of the procedures used toassess which jobs offer strong potential-as placements for the educable mentally retarded. The appendix, which comprises over 280 pages of the report, consists of an alphabetical listing of the 6033 job titles that meet the criteria established. Their Worker Function Codes fall at or below the following levels: Data--3, People--6, Things--3. Job titles in caps are Base Titles used in the body of the DOT. Those in lower case are jobs related to the base title with the same job code. For each title, there is an industrial designation that indicates location of the occupation, types of duties associated with the occupation, products manufactured, processes used, and/or raw materials used.

The manufacturers who had built them in the s had been diverted to war production for the duration and only tiny numbers of buses were made. Older buses British Buses: 1945-1975 patched up and kept going long beyond the end of their normal lives because there was no alternative.
