8 June 1998

 To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

 From:Jim Kinrade,

Commissioner of Transportation

North York Civic Centre

 Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Yorkview Drive

North York Centre

 Purpose:To amend the traffic by-law to provide uniformity between the specific entry and the posted parking restrictions on the south side of Yorkview Drive, opposite the Yorkview Public School.

  Source of funds:

 All funds associated with amendments to the traffic by-law are included within the 1998 operating budget.

 Recommendations:

 It is recommended that Schedule VIII of By-Law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to allow for the uniformity of the by-law entry and signs posted on Yorkview Drive.

Council Reference/Background/History:

 During regular maintenance and traffic investigations, it was observed that parking restrictions were posted on the south side of Yorkview Drive, from Wynn Road to 119 Yorkview Drive. Although the appropriate signs are posted, there is no specific entry within the traffic by-law to prohibit parking at this location.

 Discussion:

 As the removal of the posted parking restrictions would have an adverse affect on both students and residents, and to allow for proper enforcement of the restrictions by the Toronto Police Services, the traffic by-law should be amended.

 Conclusions:

 This department supports the amendments to the traffic by-law.

 Contact Name:

 Mr. Michael Frederick, Director of Operations, 395-7484.
