Removal of a Disabled Parking Space
on Langford Avenue
The East York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (May 10, 1998)
from the Commissioner of Development Services, East York:
Purpose:
To report to the May 27, 1998, meeting of the East York Community Council on the proposed removal of the
disabled parking space adjacent to 172 Langford Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The proposed work can be accommodated in the Current Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
AIt is recommended that: (1)the necessary By-laws be amended to remove the ADisabled Parking Only@ parking space on Langford
Avenue and reinstate the space for Overnight Permit Parking use, and;
(2)the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect
thereto.@
Background:
The Council of the Borough of East York, at its meeting on May 21, 1996, approved a disabled parking space
on Langford Avenue adjacent to 172 Langford Avenue, following a request from Mr. Basile Giannoulakis, a
disabled resident of 172 Langford Avenue.
On January 20, 1998, the Works and Emergency Services Department received a memorandum from
Councillor Prue=s office on behalf of an East York resident stating that the resident of 172 Langford Avenue
that obtained the disabled parking space on Langford Avenue has since passed away.
Discussion:
Works and Emergency Services staff sent a letter to Eleni Giannoulakis on April 7, 1998, requesting
confirmation that Basile Giannoulakis no longer resides at 172 Langford Avenue. This was subsequently
confirmed in a telephone conversation between staff and Mr. Gus Giannoulakis on May 10, 1998.
Since Mr. Giannoulakis has passed away, it is East York policy that the disabled parking space be removed and
have the parking space reinstated for overnight permit parking use.
Conclusions:
Works and Emergency Services staff have confirmed that Mr. Basile Giannoulakis has passed away. Therefore,
the disabled parking space that was installed for his use adjacent to his home at 172 Langford Avenue should
be removed and reinstated as an overnight permit parking space.
