Ward 27, York-Humber.
Director, Professional Services, Works and Emergency Services Department,

(August 13, 1998)
Purpose:
Councillor Bill Saundercook is requesting a report on the feasibility of rescinding the existing one (1) hour maximum
parking regulation on Lippincott Street West.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Traffic budget.
Recommendations:
Subject to a poll revealing the majority of residents are in favour, York Community Council approve rescinding the one (1)
hour maximum parking regulation on Lippincott Street West between Weston Road and Denison Road, during the hours
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except Sundays and Holidays.
Council Reference/Background History:
Mr. Murray Robinson, 30 Lippincott Street West, through Councillor Bill Saundercook's office is requesting a report on
the feasibility of rescinding the one (1) hour maximum parking regulation, during the hours 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except
Sundays and Holidays.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Lippincott Street West traverses in an east/west direction, between Weston Road and Denison Road, providing two-way
vehicular traffic flow.
Currently on-street parking on Lippincott Street West is legally permitted on the north side, exclusively. The parking
duration is a maximum signed one (1) hour limit, during the hours 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except Sundays and Holidays,
with an unsigned maximum three (3) hour parking limit for all other times.
Conclusions:
Rescinding the signed one (1) hour parking regulation on Lippincott Street West between Weston Road and Denison Road
would provide the local residents a longer on-street parking duration, that being three (3) hours, for both their visitors and
themselves during the day.
We, therefore, support the request to rescind the current daytime one (1) hour parking regulation on Lippincott Street West
between Weston Road and Denison Road.
