a buddy was ticketed on friday, just before noon on Coleman, was just over 2hrs and they struck…

Holy shit, they named a street after Gary Coleman?? He hasn't been dead for THAT long!

Wrong. Always.

So where is the official start of the residents only parking? Is it Dempsey and Mountain or Coleman and Mountain?

Coleman is as high as you can Park

Yeah, I saw the restriction and parked half a block further down the mountain highway.

yeah, if you park any where below coleman ie) Nottingham, Dempsey,
Upper Hoskins, it only adds a couple minutes to your climb. Go up thru
Upper Lynn school yard, thru to McNair and you're on Mountain Highway.
There's always parking space.

Does anyone know when the gate opens up on the weekend to access the Frommage drop-off spot?

It varies depending on when the district employee with the key decides to show up. It's supposed to be open @ 8:00.

I guess I should have read this thread before I got a ticket on Mcnair last weekend. I don't get to Fromme too often. Drove up from Lynn Valley road to Mcnair and saw no, "no parking" signs of any kind anywhere on the way. Did I miss one? Yes, next time I will park where others have mentioned in this thread…..OK now flame away.

Fromme is a recreational gem. Residents deserve not to have their front yards as change rooms/staging area. When is the DNV, who takes in hundreds of millions in taxes every year, going to buck up and rectify a community issue? They should have bathrooms (not cheap portapoos), change rooms and parking. Handing out tickets is a weak and greedy solution.

bla bla bla bla

more talk, ho hum.

Was up Fromme last night and they appear to have replaced the nasty port-a-pots with upgraded facilities

So, did I miss a parking sign? There are none on Mcnair.

The big signs at Coleman say something about being a resident/or having a permit to park beyond that point. I think at various intervals there are 'resident/permit only' parking signs but they are sparse!

I came over from Lynn Valley road and did not see any. Maybe I should dispute my ticket?

You could try, having never been through the process I don't know how successful you'd be! Unless you re-traced your steps and could prove there was no sign anywhere along the path you drove to park!
