(January 23, 1998) From the Commissioner, Operations Services
Purpose:
Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 28, York Eglinton, is requesting the feasibility of implementing on-street permit parking on Gloucester Grove between Alameda Avenue and Winnett Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Traffic budget. Implementation on-street permit parking on Gloucester Grove between Alameda Avenue and Winnett Avenue could provide a potential annual revenue of $720.00.
Recommendations:
Subject to the Director of Council Services and City Clerk=s poll revealing the majority of residents are in favour, York Community Council approve the implementation of on-street permit parking on Gloucester Grove between Alameda Avenue and Winnett Avenue.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Internal Memo, dated October 16, 1996, from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 28, York Eglinton, to Stephen Brown, Manager Traffic/Parking.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Gloucester Grove traverses in an east/west direction, between Glenholme Avenue and Strathearn Road.
Currently on-street parking legally alternates from the south to the north sides of Gloucester Grove between Alameda Avenue and Winnett Avenue, during the months April through November. During the months December through to March, an exclusive one side parking regulation is in effect on the south side of the street.
The current parking regulation is a maximum unsigned three (3) hour duration anytime.
Field surveys reveal there is a total complement of twelve (12) curbside parking spaces available on Gloucester Grove between Alameda Avenue and Winnett Avenue.
On-street permit parking provides those residents, without adequate off-street parking facilities to legally park their vehicles on the streets on which they reside for extended periods of time, with impunity from the signed or unsigned parking regulations. We, therefore, support the introduction of on-street permit parking on Gloucester Grove between Alameda Avenue and Winnett Avenue.
Conclusions:
On-street permit parking is a service benefit for every municipally addressed taxpayer without adequate off-street parking facilities. We, therefore, recommend the implementation of on-street permit parking on Gloucester Grove between Alameda Avenue and Winnett Avenue.
