  • Parking in front of residents homes is a problem!!! As a resident its becoming extremely difficult with the amount of Muti day campers parking directly in front of residents homes along Pacific Street….leaving no where for residential parking . There is ample safe parking in the nearby street Barri which impacts no one…please consider this when you are parking for your camp….

      Hi Judy. I had a look at either end of this one way hike and I cannot see any of the streets you mentioned at either end of the walk. Are you able to provide more info?
