Subject:Introduction of a Parking Prohibition:
King Georges Road (Kingsway-Humber)
Purpose:
To propose the introduction of a parking prohibition on the south side of
King Georges Road between Prince Edward Drive and Kings Lynn Road.
Funding Sources:
The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are
contained in the 1998 Transportation Division's Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)parking be prohibited on the south side of King Georges Road between
Prince Edward Drive and Kings Lynn Road; and
(2)the appropriate by-law (Attachment No. 1) be amended accordingly.
Background:
The Transportation and Engineering Planning Division is in receipt of a petition from the
residents on the south side of King Georges Road between Prince Edward Drive and
Kings Lynn Road (Attachment No. 2) requesting the introduction of a parking prohibition
on the south side of King Georges Road to eliminate a continuous over-time parking
problem.
The nine (9) affected homeowners who reside on both sides of King Georges Road were
polled by letter to obtain their views on this proposal (Attachment No. 3). There were eight
(8) respondents to the poll: six (6) were in favour of the proposal and two (2) opposed. A
map of the area is Attachment No. 4.
Discussion:
King Georges Road is a two lane roadway; parking is permitted on the south side of the
street for a maximum period of three hours. Land use in the immediate area is predominately
residential. Periodic police enforcement initiatives have been ineffective in rendering a
long-term solution to this problem.
Conclusions:
Based on the staff examination of this matter and the favourable consensus of the affected
residents, Council's endorsement of the recommendations contained herein would be
appropriate.
