To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director,

Transportation Services - District 3

Subject:Proposed Parking Prohibitions: Coldstream Avenue

North York Spadina

Purpose:

To install parking prohibitions on the south side of Coldstream Avenue.

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 between the hours of 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., on the south side of Coldstream Avenue, from the westerly limit of Bathurst Street to the easterly limit of Glenmount Avenue.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, parking is prohibited at any time on the north side of Coldstream Avenue, from the westerly limit of Bathurst Street to the easterly limit of Glenmount Avenue, and permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on the south side. There are also 26 delineated angled parking spaces on the south side of Coldstream Avenue, within the municipal road allowance.

Discussion:

Staff of the Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department have been advised that vehicles are being parked overnight for extended periods of time. Despite numerous requests to the Toronto Police Services, enforcement for illegal parking has proven ineffective.

Conclusions:

In view of the above, this department supports amending the parking restrictions on the south side of Coldstream Avenue, between Bathurst Street and Glenmount Avenue.
