I am a new homeowner here in Barrie, I now live on a relatively new street Franks Way just off of Burton in the South End. Between the stretch of 16 houses there is a small permitted area for on-street parking of 5 vehicles. Over the span of the several months living here this small area is CONSTANTLY full resulting in residents of this street and their guests parking in the "No Parking Area". Multiple neighbours have been issued tickets simply because their driveway is full and so is the very tiny area designated on the street itself.

This designated area could easily be doubled in size without jeopardizing the safety of the drivers and pedestrians around. Attached is a picture of the street and the highlighted area is the parking area in question. There are various single spots on the opposing curb but that side should become a no parking zone and the highlighted side opened up as having cars on both sides can create dangerous circumstances. Homeowners should not receive tickets for parking outside of their house one car space outside of the 5-car designated area when it is full.

In a climate of #blm and #defundthepolice. We need an anti white privilage law. A w3hite privilege are not just a privileged person. They’re very dangerous to our community. Draining our resources and put our law enforcement in harms way, where situations escalate. Our police should not be attending neighborhood disputes, noise complaints, people whining about out of towners leaving trash, speeders, renters and what goes on in their properties and the list goes on and on. While clog up our emergency lines, real calls go unanswered. A fine attached to a frivolous call is what is needed. Any time someone tries to complain about something so frivolous they get charged the full amount that a police officer gets paid. This includes “complaints” that take up our mayor and councilors time.

The parking lot at Centennial beach/park that is only for barrie residents should have clear signage that indicate that if you are not a barrie resident you will be ticketed. The day I visited I could see that the parking meters were covered I therefore assumed that parking was free as it was a holiday and there where no other signs. Even when I walked up to the meter the front of the meter had not signs. When I got back to my car I had a ticket. Parking restrictions should be clearly indicated with signes. When I when back to the meter I found a small notes pasted on the back of the meter cover. It kind of ruined a nice day. This incident makes me think twice before going back to barrie for the day. Please indicate parking restrictions clearly.

The current speed limit along Adelaide St, especially at the sharp corner in front of the townhouses (52 Adelaide St) is too fast. It should be reduced, speed limit signs posted AND more strictly enforced by police. Numerous people are seen driving what appears to be fast (current speed limit is too fast for the sharp turn) around the corner and having to drive on the wrong side of the street to "straighten the bend".
Though people can park on the one side of the street along Adelaide including this corner, people do not park on the street along the corner too often and I would suggest posting that portion of Adelaide as a no parking area on both sides of the street to help with vehicular circulation at the corner along with the speed limit reduction.
The number of young children playing in the area is very noticeable and as such this sharp corner causes concern for their safety, not to mention the several driveways right on the bend and the danger of a driver whipping around the corner hitting someone.

50 kilometer per hour speed in BURTON Avenue from BAYVIEW TO ESSA ROAD way over the capacity of this road. The distance between those two light s not adequate enough for any car to reach to the speed and keep it for a reasonable distance.The result is lots of gas consomption ,break wear out and a lot of pollution, noise and ashfalt destruction and off course annoying neighborhood.
Kindly please reconsider the situation and if you agree bring down the speed limit to 35 in order to be compatible with other roads and off course the real life.
