Subject:Roselawn Avenue, north side, west of Oriole Parkway - Rescindment of ANo Parking 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday@ parking regulation. (North Toronto)

Purpose:

To rescind the ANo Parking 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday@ parking regulation on the north side of Roselawn Avenue, west of Oriole Parkway.

Recommendations:

(1) That the existing ANo Parking 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday@ parking regulation on the north side of Roselawn Avenue from a point 11.0 metres west of Oriole Parkway to a point 17.5 metres further west be rescinded; and

(2)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 may be required.

Background:

City Council, of the former City of Toronto, at its meeting of September 22 and 23, 1997, in considering Clause 72 in City Services Committee Report No. 11, entitled Roselawn Avenue, north side, west of Oriole Parkway - Prohibition of parking from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, adopted said Clause and in doing so, requested City Works Services to report back to the appropriate Committee on rescinding this parking prohibition by May 15, 1998.

Comments:

The former Metropolitan Toronto Separate School Board in anticipation of a temporary elementary school facility at the former Department of National Defence College at Premises No. 1107 Avenue Road, requested that parking be prohibited on the north side of Roselawn Avenue from a point 11 metres west of Oriole Parkway to a point 17.5 metres further west. This request was made in order to provide a suitable turning radius for school buses at the intersection of Oriole Parkway and Roselawn Avenue, especially during the winter months, when the presence of parked vehicles and snow accumulation can significantly reduce the clear pavement width on Roselawn Avenue.

As this was to be a temporary measure only, and as requested by City Council, I recommend that the parking prohibition be rescinded as described in Recommendation No. 1, above. The rescindment of this regulation will re-introduce the three hour maximum parking limit and permit parking will operate from 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., within the described area.
