Subject:Extending the No Parking Anytime Restriction on Greylawn Crescent, Scarborough
Wexford
Purpose:
To investigate the need to extend the parking restrictions further south on Greylawn
Crescent to Babson Road.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $800 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the parking restriction
signs is available in the Transportation Services 1998 Budget, Account No.
20000-70200-72260.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the parking regulations identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;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:
As a result of a petition signed by the residents living on Greylawn Crescent, north of
Babson Road, staff investigated the feasibility of extending the existing parking prohibition
to this portion of the road. This petition was signed by 100% of the residents directly
abutting the proposed prohibition. The complaint is that residents of the area apartments are
parking for long durations on the street.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Greylawn Crescent is a residential road that intersects Victoria Park Avenue at two
locations, south of Ellesmere Road. A No Parking Anytime restriction is currently posted on
both sides of Greylawn Crescent in the vicinity of both intersections with Victoria Park
Avenue. Specifically, at the north intersection, the No Parking Anytime restriction was
installed in 1974 on the north side of the road and then in 1995 on the south side due to cars
from the apartments constantly parking on the street. The installation of these restrictions
has resulted in the cars parking further south on Greylawn Crescent.
Despite requests for police parking enforcement of the three hour limit, on-street parking
continues on Greylawn Crescent. Considering that there is 100% support from the 21
residents directly abutting the proposed prohibition, we can support restricting parking as far
south as Babson Road.
Conclusions:
As there is the support of the residents for a parking prohibition on both sides of Greylawn
Crescent, we recommend the posting this prohibition south to Babson Road.
