Winterlude brings parking problems to Dow's Lake
Attendance at this
year's Winterlude events
on Dow's Lake is projected
at 50 per cent above
1980.
The opposition of the
area residents and the
heavy snowfall will prevent
a recurrence of last
year's invasion of Commissioner's
Park by those
2,000 motorists.
But, as a result, the
Dow's Lake residential
community will be under
heavy pressure from drivers
looking for the shortest
walk to the lake.
Several temporary control
plans have been forwarded
and include:
Vigorous enforcement of
by-laws with tow-away of
illegally parked cars.
Sealing off the residential
area to create a
private village for residents
only.
A ban on all on-street
parking during peak demand
times.
Only one solution
Since the first suggestion
is probably physically
impossible in winter
(tow trucks would not be
able to reach the area or
get through traffic-clogged
streets) and since the
second suggestion would
leave residents with a
very bad public image as
elitists (for obstructing
access to the lake) and
poor neighbors (for bumping
problems to the next
neighborhood), we are
left with the third suggestion
as the most helpful
in terms of traffic
flow and ease of enforcement.

We must face the fact
that Winterlude will continue
to grow, with special
event traffic volume
increasing yearly.
Only by keeping that
traffic moving can we
hope to reduce the negative
impact on our area.
A multi-agency meeting
at City Hall on Jan. 8 resulted
in the following
decisions:
lio on-street parking
during the evening of Fri.
