Committee: Accessibility Advisory Committee Page - 2 - of 2 Date: May 28, 2019
Municipal parking lot 1A currently has three (3) accessible parking stalls; one (1) additional stall has been proposed. It was suggested that there should be some two (2) hour parking spaces in this lot.
Municipal parking lot 6A currently has four (4) accessible parking stalls; four (4) additional stalls have been proposed. Staff are currently working on a solution to address the safety concern caused
by vehicular and pedestrian congestion at the Harvey Street entrance of the
Tillsonburg Town Centre in municipal parking lot 7A. The crosswalk outside of Canadian Tire in municipal parking lot 6A experiences similar vehicular and pedestrian congestion.
Municipal parking lot 9A has two (2) accessible parking stalls; three (3)
additional stalls have been proposed. It was suggested to consider adding a second curve cut beside the accessible parking spots on Harvey Street next to lot 9A. Staff noted that installing an additional curb cut would eliminate the barrier free access that currently exists in the location.
Municipal parking lot 3B currently has no accessible parking stalls; it has been proposed to install four (4) stalls. There was consensus that two of the proposed stalls should be installed next to the building located at 29 Baldwin Street near the entrance off of Baldwin Street.
Motion Moved by: Mike Cerna Seconded by: Margaret McCrimmon THAT the committee endorse the proposed additional accessible parking stalls
with the recommended reconfiguration of parking lot 3B. Carried. 5. Next Meeting Tuesday, June 11, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at the Corporate Office in Suite 203, 200
