(Report dated June 9, 1998, addressed to North York Community Council, from the Commissioner of Transportation,
North York Civic Centre.)
Subject:Stopping Prohibitions: Greenfield Avenue, North York Centre
Purpose:To prohibit stopping at any time on the north side of Greenfield Avenue, between Doris Avenue and the entrance
to the Atrium II underground parking garage.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the stopping restrictions are included within the 1998 operating budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that Schedule IX of By-law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit stopping
at any time on the north side of Greenfield Avenue, from the westerly limit of Doris Avenue to a point 50 metres westerly
thereof.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, stopping is prohibited on the north side Greenfield Avenue from Yonge Street to a point 50 metres west of Doris
Avenue. From Doris Avenue to a point 50 metres west, parking is prohibited at any time.
Staff of the Transportation Division have reviewed the concerns of the Board of Directors of Condominium Corporation
650, Atrium II, 65 Spring Garden Avenue, regarding vehicles, with displayed disabled parking permits, parked on the north
side of Greenfield Avenue, west of Doris Avenue. These vehicles create a sight obstruction for motorists exiting the Atrium
II underground parking garage and impact traffic operations at the signalized intersection of Doris Avenue and Greenfield
Avenue.
Discussion:
The installation of stopping prohibitions on the north side of Greenfield Avenue, west of Doris Avenue, would improve the
sight lines for motorists exiting the condominium driveway and operations at the Doris Avenue/Greenfield Avenue
intersection should vehicles otherwise be parked at this location.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, the Transportation Division would support the recommendation to prohibit stopping at any time on
the north side of Greenfield Avenue, west of Doris Avenue.
Contact Name:
Mr. Michael Frederick, Director of Operations, at 395-7484.
