5 November 1998
To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council
From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director,
Transportation Services, District 3
Subject:Stopping Prohibitions: Connaught Avenue between Lariviere Road and Fargo
Avenue
North York Centre
Purpose:To prohibit stopping between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., on both sides of
Connaught Avenue, from Lariviere Road to Fargo Avenue
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the stopping restrictions are included within the
1998 operating budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that schedule IX of By-Law #31001, of the former City of North York,
be amended to prohibit stopping on both sides of Connaught Avenue between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., from Lariviere Road to Fargo Avenue.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently stopping is prohibited on both sides of Connaught Avenue between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., from Yonge Street to Lariviere Road. Parking is permitted for up to
a maximum of three hours on both sides of Connaught Avenue, west of Lariviere Road.
Discussion:
Following the opening of the Basic Funeral Home on the northwest corner of the Yonge
Street\Connaught Avenue intersection, numerous vehicles were parked on both sides of
Connaught Avenue, west of Yonge Street. As a result, residents requested the installation of
stopping prohibitions between Yonge Street and Lariviere Road.
Since the installation of the stopping prohibitions on Connaught Avenue, vehicles belonging
to patrons of the Basic Funeral Home are parking west of Lariviere Road. As a result,
residents are requesting that the stopping prohibitions be farther extended westerly to Fargo
Avenue.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, this department would support an amendment to the stopping
regulations on Connaught Avenue, as per the residents' request.
