5 June 1998

 To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

 From:Jim S. Kinrade, Commissioner of Transportation

North York Civic District

Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Princess Avenue, Willowdale Avenue to Longmore Sreet

North York Centre

 Purpose:To install parking prohibitions on both sides of Princess Avenue, between

Willowdale Avenue and Longmore Street

 Source of funds:

 All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the 1998 operating budget.

 Recommendations:

 That Schedule VIII of By-Law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit parking on both sides of Princess Avenue, from Willowdale Avenue to Longmore Street, from

8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

 Council Reference/Background/History:

 Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on both sides of Princess Avenue, east of Willowdale Avenue. West of Willowdale Avenue, parking is prohibited on the south side of the roadway from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

 A request was received from the resident at 242 Princess Avenue to install parking prohibitions as students attending Earl Haig Secondary School park their vehicles daily on Princess Avenue.

 Previously, staff of the Solid Waste Section of the Public Works Department, for the former City of North York, requested that parking restrictions be installed as they were experiencing difficulties in completing garbage/recycling pick up activities on this section of Princess Avenue.

  Discussion:

 Councillor John Filion has advised that the majority of the residents surveyed by his office support the installation of the parking prohibitions.

 Staff of the Works and Emergency Services Department, Transportation Services have verified that vehicles are parked for extended periods of time, on both sides of the roadway. This parking activity restricts two way traffic flow, creates difficulties for garbage/recycling pick up activities, and impacts local residents safe access from their driveways.

 Conclusions:

 We would support the installation of the parking prohibitions, as per the residents/staff request.

 Contact Name:

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

 Commissioner
