Over the course of the day I have had the opportunity to speak with many of the residents on Robson Cres. and they all seem to have the same concerns…parking and speeding.

I had explained this process to a few individuals on Robson but I wanted to post it as well to inform others who might have similar problems.

On Robson Cres there is only parking on one side of the street (south side) and no parking on the north side. Many residents on the north side have more than 2 cars and are sometimes required to park a vehicle on the street for some time. Seeing how the time limit is 3 hrs, this poses a problem.

Lets say for instance you have some friends over for dinner and you would like to enjoy a couple extra adult beverages (wobbly pops as Ive heard them called) or wine. If your guests were to stay over, they would have to park on the street. There is a number to call at the town of Milton which is located on my magnet as well 😉 905-878-7252 ext 2530. You can leave a message with the plate number of the vehicle that will be parked on the road.

THIS can get a little on the frustrating side if you are a home owner and require 24 hour parking. There is a way you can get it by applying for extended parking which can be located here at the Town of Milton website.

Its important that when you are doing this you communicate with the residents to let them know if they dont respond and there is a low turnout, nothing with change. I believe there is a 12 month time frame on this so it cant be done every month.

Each plate is alloted a certain number of excemptions from parking tickets (18 each plate). You can check the Town of Milton site for more info or just email me and I can try to answer your questions.

Special thanks to Tim and Sandra from the HawthorneVillager.com website for taking the time to speak with me and the concerns on Robson. I can assure you and everyone in Ward One that if elected your town councillor I will put a lot of effort into serving you for the next four years.

I’ll see you at the doors.
