Parking Prohibitions - Barmac Drive
North York Humber
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (March
16, 1998) from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre:
Purpose:
To install parking prohibitions on both sides of Barmac Drive, south of Ormont Drive (west leg).
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the 1998
operating budget.
Recommendation:
To amend Schedule VIII of By-law No. 31001, of the former City of North York to prohibit parking
at anytime on both sides of Barmac Drive, from a point 288 meters south/west of the southerly limit
of Ormont Drive (east intersection) to the southerly limit of Ormont Drive (west intersection).
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, parking is prohibited on both sides of Barmac Drive from the southerly limit of Ormont
Drive (easterly intersection), to a point 288 meters south/west of Ormont Drive. Parking is permitted
for up to a maximum of three hours on all other sections of this roadway.
An investigation indicated that motorists are parking on both sides of Barmac Drive west of the
prohibited zone. It should be noted that this section of Barmac Drive has a 90 degree curve and
serves a large industrial community. I would advise that this parking activity severely restricts the
flow of two way traffic and creates a dangerous situation, particularly in the area of the curve in the
roadway.
Discussions:
A review of our street location file has indicated that on street parking has been an ongoing concern
for some time.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, this department would support the implementation of parking restrictions on
Barmac Drive.
