(Report dated June 24, 1998, addressed to Etobicoke Community Council, from the Commissioner of Works.)

 Subject:Removal of Parking Prohibition:

Enterprise Road

 Purpose:

 To propose the removal of the parking prohibition on the south side of Enterprise Road from a point 350.0 metres east of Martin Grove Road to a point 74.0 metres east thereof.

 Funding Sources:

 The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are contained in the Transportation Department=s Operating Budget.

 Recommendations:

 It is recommended that:

 (1)the current parking prohibition on the south side of Enterprise Road be amended to allow on-street parking from a point 350.0 metres east of Martin Grove Road to a point 74.0 metres east thereof; and

 (2)the appropriate by-law (Attachment No. 1) be amended accordingly.

 Background:

 The Transportation Department is in receipt of correspondence from Mr. Jonathan Cole, owner of the properties located at 27 - 39 Enterprise Road, requesting that the parking prohibition currently in effect in front of these properties be rescinded to allow for short-term on-street parking. A map of the area is Attachment No. 2.

 Comments:

 Enterprise Road, at this point, is a two-lane roadway, with treated shoulders approximately 3.0 metres wide. Due to the width of the shoulders the re-introduction of parking on the south side of Enterprise Road would in no way affect traffic flow on the roadway or compromise traffic safety.

Conclusions:

 Based on the staff examination, Council's endorsement of this matter contained herein would be appropriate.
