An area of York blighted by ‘dangerous and inconsiderate parking’ could soon see new restrictions imposed.
Residents of on Tranby Avenue and Cavendish Grove in Osbaldwick have long complained about a parking nightmare caused by people who are going to University of York.
They signed a petition saying “the current level of parking is compromising highway safety and residential amenity in the area,” a City of York Council report says.
After a residents’ parking scheme was introduced in Badger Hill, drivers started parking in the Tranby Avenue area instead.
This resulted in “complaints of vehicles parking too close to the junctions of Hull Road and Cavendish Grove, as well as on Cavendish Grove near its junction with Tranby Avenue”.
A previous proposal for ‘no waiting at any time’ on the roads was advertised, and received 15 objections, and four comments in support.
Now a report is recommending that an amended traffic regulation order is drawn up to introduce no waiting parking restrictions on Tranby Avenue between Hull Road and Baysdale Avenue.
This will be considered at a decision session by the executive member for transport on Friday. You can find out more here.
