Two current downtown Vernon two-way streets could be changed to one-way only. City of Vernon staff received council approval in principle to change 28th and 29th Avenues, between 29th and 30th Streets, to one-way roads as part of a major 2016 capital road project. “The proposed changes would allow traffic and parking management on 28th and 29th Avenues to introduce a one-way couplet to enable the implementation of angled parking,” wrote city transportation engineer Amanda Watson in a report to council. Under the proposed changes, traffic on 28th Avenues would flow east-to-west and vehicles on 29th Avenue would move west-to-east. “There are currently 48 (parking) stalls in this area and, with these proposed changes, there would be 49 stalls,” said Watson. The changes were first introduced, and agreed to by the council of the day, in 2010. While giving its approval in principle, the current council also directed staff to seek adjacent properties and public input on the changes. Staff must also consult with the Downtown Vernon Association board, and the city’s transportation and advisory planning committees, in regards to the proposal.

| Parking Stalls Layout re Couplet (Attachment 2) |
Implementing a one way couplet in 28th and 29th Avenues, as shown in Attachment 2, allows for the implementation of angled parking that retains the existing 31 stalls in 28th and 29" Avenues and creates the ability to relocate 11 of the parking stalls from the proposed 30th Street Capital project, and add one new stall. There are currently 48 stalls in this area and with these proposed changes, there would be 49 stalls. 28th Avenue would become one way, from east to west, from its intersection
with 29th Street to 30th Street. 29th Avenue would also be one way, from west to east, from its intersection with 30th Street to 29th Street.

The proposed 2016 Capital road and utility projects include the fourth phase of the 29st, 30 Street Corridor Project with works being proposed between Highway 6 and the north side of 30th Avenue. In order to provide the upgrades and multi modal traffic facilities, this phase will need to relocate 11 on-street parking stalls. The proposed changes to traffic and parking management in 28th Avenue and 29th Avenue between 29th Street and 30th Street can accommodate this relocation.
