Implementation of a Disabled Parking Space on Bryant Avenue
The East York Community Council recommends that:
(1) East York By-law No. 34-93, entitled "To provide for Disabled Person Parking Permit
Holders", be amended to implement a disabled parking space on the east side of Bryant
Avenue south of the driveway at 1 Bryant Avenue;
(2) the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take necessary action to
give effect thereto; and
(3) the following report (January 6, 1998) from the Commissioner of Urban Development
Services, East York be received:
Purpose:
To implement a disabled parking space on Bryant Avenue for use by disabled residents.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The recommended change can be accommodated within the existing Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) East York By-law No. 34-93, entitled "To Provide for Disabled Person Parking Permit
Holders" be amended to implement a disabled parking space on the east side of
Bryant Avenue, from a point 43.3 metres north of Denton Avenue to a point 49.9 metres
north of Denton Avenue;
(2) this disabled parking space be removed when Mr. Alec Goydas ceases to reside at
18 Bryant Avenue; and
(3) the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give
effect thereto.
Council Reference/Background/History:
The Development Services Department received a letter from Mr. Alec Goydas, 18 Bryant Avenue,
dated October 21, 1997, requesting the installation of an on-street disabled parking space adjacent
to 18 Bryant Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Bryant Avenue, between Denton Avenue and Dentonia Park Avenue, is governed by a
"No Parking Anytime" restriction on the west side of the street and the three-hour parking by-law
on the east side. A review of parking on Bryant Avenue during a typical weekday indicates that
parking is near capacity, however, designating one space as a disabled parking space would not
necessarily eliminate an on-street parking space since the disabled permit holder has no on-site
parking and currently parks on the street. It is recommended that one on-street parking space on the
east side of Bryant Avenue, adjacent to 18 Bryant Avenue, be designated as a parking space for a
disabled permit holder. A plan indicating the location of the proposed disabled parking space is
attached.
Mr. Goydas and the neighbouring residents will be notified by the City Clerk's Department,
East York Office, that this report is being presented to the East York Community Council.
Conclusions:
It is recommended that a disabled parking space be installed on the east side of Bryant Avenue,
adjacent to 18 Bryant Avenue, to facilitate disabled residents in the vicinity. The removal of
one on-street parking space on Bryant Avenue is not expected to significantly impact parking in this
area.
