The Local Street Plan and Arterial <br />Collector Street Plan do not recognize diagonal parking as an option when designing or <br />reviewing new or existing street configurations. <br />A specific and limited number of existing wide street frontages within the downtown core <br />provide on -street diagonal parking.

Newer developments do not contain the necessary <br />width and existing locations rarely provide appropriate width for diagonal parking consideration. <br />Any new proposal for on -street diagonal parking will be reviewed on an exception basis.
