9. Alan Henderson provided a deputation in opposition to motion 17-G-211 concerning the restriction of driving schools in neighbourhoods used for Provincial Drive Test. Mr. Henderson advised that he is a new resident to the area. He commented that he felt that sending a letter to the Ministry of Transportation concerning the driving schools using the Drive-Test areas to practice was a waste of time and did not reflect the concerns of the area residents. Mr. Henderson discussed his observations concerning the number of cars he believed to be operated by driving schools that were on his street within a two hour window. He noted that a number of the vehicles were not properly identified. He discussed that when he approached one of the vehicles and requested that they practice away from his vehicle, he was told that he should move elsewhere. Mr. Henderson indicated that he was concerned about the safety of children in the area. He noted that the driver training does not benefit the neighbourhood. Mr. Henderson stated that his major concern is that it is a commercial business practicing in a residential area. He questioned what other commercial uses that would not benefit the area and would be allowed to operate in the area and stated that he was not including those businesses that provide service to the residents. He noted that he understood the need for driver training and he suggested that this could be done in commercial/industrial areas. Mr. Montgomery suggested that the Ministry of Transportation could provide an empty car for students to use for practicing parallel parking. He discussed his concerns associated with the potential safety risk, associated with driver training. Mr. Henderson commented that the training occurs seven days a week and he requested that driver training be banned from his residential area. He suggested that the Ministry of Transportation be requested to do so immediately.
