As the city filed it

There are congestion issues in this neighbourhood which have been exacerbated by an existing "no-standing" regulation on the street. The "no-standing" zone has been misused and has resulted in obstructions for waste pick-up for businesses in the area. Transportation Services staff were asked to investigate what could be undertaken to reduce the number of parked vehicles on Abell Street that are contributing to this congestion.

Following consultation with the community, it was determined that the most effective way to reduce congestion was to institute a change to "no-stopping." This will permit Parking Enforcement staff to better patrol the area and in so doing address the congestion issues.
