The Town of Oakville is undertaking a review of the on-street parking restrictions in the area surrounding the former Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. On-street parking restrictions were added in 2011 to discourage hospital-related traffic and parking from infiltrating into the neighbourhood. Now that the hospital has relocated, the town is reviewing the "no parking" areas in the neighbourhood to determine if they are still appropriate. The study generally includes the area bounded by Pine Avenue, Gloucester Avenue, Sumner Avenue and Trafalgar Road. Questions or comments, please contact: Jill Stephen, P.Eng.
