(Report dated June 6, 1998, addressed to North York Community Council, from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre.)

Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Yatescastle Drive, North York Black Creek

Purpose:To install parking prohibitions on both sides of Yatescastle Drive, from Dolores Road to Arthur Griffith Drive.

Source of funds:

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

Recommendations:

To amend Schedule VIII of By-law #31001, of the former City of North York, to prohibit parking on both sides of Yatescastle Drive, between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., from the southerly limit of Dolores Avenue to the northerly limit of Arthur Griffith Drive.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on both sides of Yatescastle Drive.

The residents have submitted a petition requesting that parking be prohibited on both sides of the roadway, to discourage overnight parking. It should be noted that when vehicles are parked on both sides of the roadway, two way traffic cannot be maintained. This is of particular concern during the late evenings.

Discussions:

A review of our street location file has indicated that on street parking has been an ongoing concern for some time.

Conclusions:

In view of the above, the transportation Division would support the implementation of parking restrictions on Yatescastle Drive, in accordance with residents request.
