5 November 1998

To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director,

Transportation Services, District 3

Subject:Proposed Parking Prohibitions: Haven Road

North York Spadina

Purpose:To prohibit parking between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on both sides of Haven Road, from Glen Long Avenue to Glen Park Avenue.

Source of funds:

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

Recommendations:

That Schedule VIII of By-Law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit parking on both sides of Haven Road, from the northerly limit of Glen Park Avenue to the southerly limit of Glen Long Avenue.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on both sides of this section of Haven Road.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Staff of the Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department have been advised by local residents that students of the nearby schools are parking daily for extended periods of time. This parking activity restricts two way traffic and access/egress from residential driveways. Despite numerous requests to the Toronto Police Services for enforcement of the three hour parking limit, the students'parking habits have not changed. As identified in the attached petition, the majority of residents of this section of the roadway support the proposed parking restrictions. The concerns of the residents have been confirmed by staff.

Conclusions:

In view of the above, this department supports amending the current parking regulations, as requested by the local residents.
