Subject:Rosemary Lane, north of Dewbourne Avenue - Adjustment of parking regulations. (Midtown)

Purpose:

To adjust the existing on-street parking regulations on Rosemary Lane, north of Dewbourne Avenue to provide additional parking.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendations:

(1)That the existing "No Parking from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday to Friday" regulation on the east side of Rosemary Lane from Dewbourne Avenue to a point 153.7 metres north be adjusted to apply from a point 60 metres north of Dewbourne Avenue to a point 153.7 metres north of Dewbourne Avenue; 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 are required.

Comments:

At the request of Councillor John Adams, an investigation was conducted by Works staff to determine the feasibility of adjusting the existing daytime parking prohibition on the east side of Rosemary Lane, from Dewbourne Avenue to a point 60 metres north.

Rosemary Lane from Dewbourne Avenue to Bathurst Street is a two-way winding street with a pavement width of 7.4 metres and a forty kilometres per hour speed limit. Parking on the south and west sides is prohibited at anytime. Parking on the north and east sides is prohibited at anytime from a point 153.7 metres north of Dewbourne Avenue to Bathurst Street. The section of Rosemary Lane from Dewbourne Avenue to a point 153.7 metres further north has parking prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.. Monday to Friday and parking is otherwise permitted for a maximum period of three hours. The permit parking system is not authorized on this street.

The existing parking prohibition could be adjusted on the east side of Rosemary Lane, as contained in Recommendation No. 1 above, in favour of a statutory three hour daily parking limit without compromising the safety of traffic operations on this street.
