8 December 1998
To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council
From:Roberto Stopnicki,
Director, Transportation Services - District 3
Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Canarctic Drive
North York Spadina
Purpose:To install parking prohibitions on the east side of Canarctic Drive
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 No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to
prohibit parking at any time on the east side of Canarctic Drive, from the southerly limit of
Wildcat Road to a point 270.0 metres south.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, parking is prohibited at anytime on the north and west sides of Canarctic Drive,
from Keele Street to the easterly intersection with Wildcat Road, and on the south side,
between Keele Street and Petrolia Road. Parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three
hours on the remaining south and east portions of Canarctic Drive.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Staff of the Roads and Sidewalk Operations Section have indicated that vehicles, when parked
on the east side of Canarctic Drive, are creating an impediment for the many tractor trailers
making deliveries to the industrial properties on Canarctic Drive. As a result of the
impediments, the tractor trailers are continually mounting and damaging the municipal
boulevards.
Maintenance records support the concern as on numerous occasions the municipal boulevard
has been repaired. Currently, the boulevard shows signs of damage.
Conclusions:
In order to reduce the continuous maintenance and damage to the boulevards on Canarctic
Drive, this division supports the implementation of parking restrictions along the entire east
portion of Canarctic Drive.
