On http://www.waterloo.ca/en/government/regulations.asp you will find Waterloo parking regulations.

The following regulation is absurd, unreasonable and should be abolished.

"At all other times, on-street parking is allowed for up to three consecutive hours, unless otherwise posted"

I have seen many people park for the better part of a day, whether they were visiting family or friends or even parking next to their place of residence (that's when I got a ticket). I'm sure if these people were to get tickets as well they would be equally as surprised as I was to find out about this 3-hr limit. Let's do something about it before a resident or guest finds out the hard way and gets a nasty $35 surprise on their window.

So what happens when you have people over to your house and they stay for more than 3 hrs (4 or 6 perhaps)? They have to go out and move their cars every 3 hrs? Ridiculous!

Everyone I talk to says the same thing; the by-laws in Waterloo are far too restrictive. I want to see members of city council improve the city for the residents here, not make it worse. Although I believe numerous by-laws should be reviewed, let's start right here with this one.

Sincerely,

Adrian Walker
