30 ALL WAY 25 Bolton Ave Residents at 25 Bolton Ave are requesting a NO PARKING zone to be placed at the yellow/black arrow. This will enable a safe entry and exit of laneway. The red/black arrow indicates too small of a space for any vehicle and also places such a vehicle too close to curb of adjacent laneway; therefore the proposed NO PARKING should run from the red/black arrow to the yellow/black arrow inclusive. The nearest intersection is a four way stop and as such, NO PARKING too close to intersection signs are already in place (marked by the orange/black arrows). Page26
