Subject:Parking Prohibition on Terraview Boulevard, Scarborough Wexford
Purpose:
To address the need for an additional parking prohibition on Terraview Boulevard, east of
Victoria Park Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $200.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the parking prohibition
signs are available in the Road and Traffic Services 1998 Budget, Account No.
20000-70200-72260.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the parking regulation identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;
(2)the parking regulations identified in Appendix 2 of this report be adopted; and
(3)the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Road and Traffic Services received a request from Councillor Mike Tzekas to extend the
parking restriction on Terraview Boulevard, east of Victoria Park Avenue. The current
restriction prohibits parking on both sides of Terraview Boulevard, between Victoria Park
Avenue and Shandon Drive. The request was to extend the parking prohibition on the south
side of the road further east to the intersection of Amberley Drive.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Terraview Boulevard is located immediately south of the MacDonald Cartier
Freeway/Highway 401, between Victoria Park Avenue and Pharmacy Avenue. The existing
parking restrictions on Terraview Boulevard prohibit parking at all times on both sides of the
road between Victoria Park Avenue and Shandon Drive.
These parking restrictions were installed to deter on-street parking generated by an
apartment building complex located on the east side of Victoria Park Avenue, south of
Terraview Boulevard. Staff have conducted investigations during regular working hours and
observed the occasional vehicle parked on Terraview Boulevard just east of the current limit
of the parking prohibition. It would seem probable that the apartment complex may generate
an increase demand in the evenings and on weekends.
Conclusions:
We recommend extending the parking prohibition on the south side of Terraview Boulevard
from Shandon Drive to Amberley Drive to deter parking in this area.
