30 January 1998
To: Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council
From: Jim Kinrade,
Commissioner of Transportation
North York Civic Centre
Subject: Proposed Parking Prohibitions: Hobart Drive
Purpose: To amend the existing three hour parking limit adjacent to 64 Hobart Drive, to
s 1998 current budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that Schedule VIII of North York By-law #31001 be amended to prohibit parking from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south/east side of Hobart Drive, from a point 155 metres southeast of the southerly limit of Seneca Hill Drive to a point 61 metres east/south thereof.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, parking is prohibited between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on both sides of Hobart Drive from the southerly limit of Seneca Hill Drive to a point 155 metres southerly thereof. On all other sections of the roadway, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours.
Discussions:
This department has been advised by a resident that when vehicles are parked adjacent to and in front his residence, two way traffic and access/egress from his driveway is restricted. Numerous requests to the Toronto Police for enforcement of illegal parking activities have proven ineffective.
Conclusions:
In view of the foregoing, this department supports amending the current parking regulations, as requested by the resident.
