General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[danbrotherston]

I wish they'd just stop with those faux olde-timey lights, they're not that great at actually lighting up the road and sidewalks. Now they need to enforce the no stopping/parking when people leave their cars in front of the Walper's doors to check in and get the valet service. It seemed ridiculous to me that was allowed at all.

That location had explicitly permitted short term parking for the valet:

https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.4495724,-80.4893211,3a,63.3y,260.11h,88.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAzFDpryiqCecYB1d-0hBSA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Also, the road was widened at that location to 8.5 M...which is sufficient for a 2.4 parking space and 3 meter lanes.

I think it was a poor use of space, given the availability of the alley, and I hope they have narrowed the road in that location, but I don't think it was a traffic problem before...unless we have drivers who cannot use a 3 meter lane.
