Parking plan and bylaw recommendation for Main Street congestion
A traffic study proposes angle and parallel parking layouts on Main Street with 8 foot stalls and 22 to 29 foot spans, plus a two hour parking limit and proper signing. It warns increasing traffic could require off street facilities near Centre Street-Church Street or behind the hotel to ease congestion. The report notes 7% of vehicles stayed over two hours, using 43% of space, likely residents or merchants. It also reports the body of Port Hope resident Fred Horne, 63, found with a 9 mm pistol near Rotary Park, prompting police investigation.
