(Report dated June 12, 1998, addressed to North York Community Council, from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre.) Subject:Amendment of Parking Prohibitions: Glengarry Avenue, North York Centre South

Purpose:To rescind the existing parking prohibitions on the south side of Glengarry Avenue.

Source of funds:

All costs associated with the removal 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 permit three hour parking on the south side of Glengarry Avenue, from a point 91 metres east of Bathurst Street to the westerly limit of Welland Road.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, parking is prohibited at anytime on the north side of Glengarry Avenue, between Bathurst Street and Welland Road, and on the south side, from Bathurst Street to a point 91 metres west. On the remaining portion of the south side of Glengarry Avenue, parking is prohibited between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Discussion:

The Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department has reviewed a request from local residents on Glengarry Avenue, to remove the existing ANo Parking, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday@ parking prohibitions on the south side of Glengarry Avenue, between Bathurst Street and Welland Road. As parking is prohibited on both sides of Glengarry Avenue, residents felt that these parking prohibitions are too restrictive, which is causing inconveniences for them and their guests.

Conclusions:

As the proposed changes to permit parking on the south side of Glengarry Avenue is supported by the majority of the affected property owners and the local Councillors, and would not adversely affect traffic operations, it is recommended that the parking restrictions be rescinded.
