(Report dated June 12, 1998, addressed to North York Community Council, from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre.) Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Esgore Drive, Ridley Boulevard to Apsley Road/Saunders Street, North York Centre South

Purpose:To install parking restrictions on both sides of Esgore Drive, from Ridley Boulevard to Apsley Road/Saunders Street.

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 Esgore Drive, from the northerly limit of Ridley Boulevard to the southerly limit of Apsley Road/Saunders Street.

Council Reference/Background/History:

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

A petition was received by the Transportation Division, in which five of the six affected residents supported the installation of the parking restrictions. This request was made as a result of ongoing parking problems created by the students of Loretto Abby School.

Discussion:

On street parking on Esgore Drive, has been a concern for the area residents for many years. Despite requests for enforcement, the installation of daytime parking restrictions on many of the adjacent roadways has not allowed the current parking activities to improve.

Conclusions:

The Transportation Division supports the proposed parking amendments.
