Introduction of Stopping Prohibition: Brampton Road

 The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (July 22, 1998) from the Director, Transportation and Engineering Planning:

 Purpose:

 To propose the introduction of a stopping prohibition on both sides of Brampton Road between The Westway and Learmont Drive.

 Funding Sources:

 The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are contained in the 1998 Transportation Division's Operating Budget.

 Recommendations:

 It is recommended that:

(1)stopping be prohibited on both sides of Brampton Road between The Westway and Learmont Drive, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday; and

 (2)the appropriate by-laws (Attachment No.1 and 2) be amended accordingly.

 Background:

 The Transportation and Engineering Planning Division is in receipt of a petition from the residents of Brampton Road between The Westway and Learmont Drive (Attachment No. 3) requesting the introduction of a daytime stopping prohibition for both sides of Brampton Road between The Westway and Learmont Drive. A map of the area is Attachment No. 4.

 Discussion:

 Brampton Road is a two-lane roadway; parking is prohibited on both sides of the street between The Westway and a point 169.0 metres north thereof between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Land use in the immediate vicinity is primarily residential. Kipling Collegiate Institute is located on the north-west corner of The Westway and Brampton Road. The high incidence of daytime on-street parking can be attributed to the close proximity of this street to Kipling Collegiate Institute. A staff review of the parking supply at Kipling Collegiate Institute clearly indicates that adequate parking facilities are available, however, staff and students continue to park on Brampton Road between The Westway and Learmont Drive as a convenience. Periodic police enforcement has had little effect in rendering a long-term solution to this problem.

 Conclusions:

 Based on the staff examination of this matter and the favourable consensus among the affected residents, Council's endorsement of the recommendation contained herein would be appropriate.
