Proposed Parking Prohibitions - Longmore Street -
North York Centre
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (April 23, 1998) from the
Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre:
Purpose:
To amend the existing three hour parking limit on both sides of Longmore Street, between Spring Garden Avenue and
Alfred Avenue, to "No Parking 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday".
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the 1998 operating budget.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Schedule VIII of By-Law No. 31001be amended to prohibit parking from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.,
Monday to Friday, on both sides of Longmore Street, from the northerly limit of Spring Garden Avenue to Alfred
Avenue.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on the above noted section of roadway.
Discussion:
This department has been advised by local residents that when vehicles are parked on both sides of the roadway, two way
traffic cannot be maintained. Numerous requests to the Metropolitan Toronto Police for enforcement of illegal parking
activities have proven ineffective. Also, the majority of residents on this section of Longmore Street are in favour of the
proposed parking restrictions.
Conclusions:
In view of the foregoing, this department supports amending the current parking regulations, as requested by the residents.
