To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki,

Director, Transportation Services, District 3

Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Burdock Lane

North York Don Parkway

Purpose:

To remove the existing 60 minutes permitted parking restriction on the north and east side of Burdock Lane.

Source of funds:

All funds associated with the removal of the parking control signs are included within the 1998 operating budget.

Recommendation:

That Schedule X of By-Law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended, to permit parking for up to a maximum of three hours on the north and east side of Burdock, from The Donway West to the easterly limit of Burdock Lane

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, parking is prohibited at anytime on the south and west side of Burdock Lane. On the north and east side of the Burdock Lane, vehicles are permitted to park for up to a maximum of 60 minutes.

Discussions:

Councillor Gordon Chong, on behalf of the residents of Burdock Lane, has requested that staff of the Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department remove the existing 60 minutes permitted parking restriction on the north and east side of Burdock Lane. A recent survey, conducted by Councillor Chong's office, indicated that the majority of the affected residents on Burdock Lane feel the existing parking prohibitions/restrictions are too onerous and are therefore in favour of removing the 60 permitted parking restriction.

Conclusions:

In view of the support of the affected residents, this department would have no objections to the removal of the parking restrictions.
