Subject:Introduction of a One Hour Parking Restriction:

Royal York Court

(Kingsway-Humber)

Purpose:

To propose the introduction of a one hour parking restriction on the north side of Royal York Court between Royal York Road and the east limit of the road.

Funding Sources:

The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are contained in the 1998 Transportation Services Division's Operating Budget.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)parking be restricted to one hour on the north side of Royal York Court between RoyalYorkRoad and the east limit of the road; and

(2)the appropriate by-laws (Attachments No. 1 and 2) be amended accordingly.

Council Reference:

At its meeting held on May 27, 1998, Etobicoke Community Council received correspondence addressed to Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby from Mr. Marc Collins, 1141 Royal York Road, Apt.1006 (Attachment No. 3) inquiring about the feasibility of a short-term parking prohibition on Royal York Court. A map of the area is Attachment No. 4.

Discussion:

Royal York Court is a two-lane roadway; parking is prohibited on both sides of the street between Royal York Road and the east limit of the road. Land use in the immediate area is high density residential. Residents and visitors of 1137/1139/1141 Royal York Road must use Royal York Court to access their parking facilities. The parking facilities for these apartment buildings are located on the south side of Royal York Court. This poses a great inconvenience when loading or unloading elderly passengers, groceries or heavy items.

The implementation of this parking restriction on Royal York Court would allow for short term parking when loading or unloading goods and passengers.

Conclusions:

Based on the staff review of this matter, the introduction of a one hour parking restriction would be appropriate.
