Provision of Ten Minute Parking in front of Linden School -
10 Rosehill Avenue (Midtown)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(February 23, 1998) from the Director, Infrastructure Planning and Transportation, City
Works Services:
Purpose:
To implement a 10 minute pick-up and drop-off zone for children attending the Linden School,
No. 10 Rosehill Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable
Recommendations:
(1) That the existing "No Standing Anytime" regulation on the north side of Rosehill Avenue
from Yonge Street to Avoca Avenue be rescinded;
(2) that standing be prohibited at anytime on the north side of Rosehill Avenue from
Yonge Street to a point 46 metres east;
(3) that standing be prohibited at anytime on the north side of Rosehill Avenue from a point
58 metres east of Yonge Street to Avoca Avenue;
(4) that parking on the north side of Rosehill Avenue from a point 46 metres east of Yonge
Street to a point 12 metres further east be restricted to a maximum period of 10 minutes
from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday and that
standing be prohibited at all other times; and
(5) 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:
A senior official of the Linden School has forwarded a concern to staff of this Department
requesting that consideration be given to amending the existing parking regulations on Rosehill
Avenue as noted above, to facilitate pick-up and drop-off of children attending this
establishment.
Currently standing is prohibited at anytime on both sides of Rosehill Avenue across the frontage
of Linden School. A site meeting with the principal of Linden School and City Works Services
staff has revealed that in spite of the existing "Student Pick-up and Drop-off" information signs
that are posted on the north side of Rosehill Avenue in front of this school, parents are regularly
being issued with parking tags. To alleviate this concern, parking could be restricted to a
maximum period of ten minutes in front of this school, during the times specified in the above
recommendations.
