Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

(2) That standing be prohibited at anytime on the north side of Rosehill Avenue from Yonge Street to a point 46 metres east;

(3) That standing be prohibited at anytime on the north side of Rosehill Avenue from a point 58 metres east of Yonge Street to Avoca Avenue;

(5) That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.

Comments

A senior official of the Linden School has forwarded a concern to staff of this Department requesting that consideration be given to amending the existing parking regulations on Rosehill Avenue as noted above, to facilitate pick-up and drop-off of children attending this establishment.

Currently standing is prohibited at anytime on both sides of Rosehill Avenue across the frontage of Linden School. A site meeting with the principal of Linden School and City Works Services staff has revealed that in spite of the existing AStudent Pick-up and Drop-off@ information signs that are posted on the north side of Rosehill Avenue in front of this school, parents are regularly being issued with parking tags. To alleviate this concern, parking could be restricted to a maximum period of ten minutes in front of this school, during the times specified in the above recommendations.
