Currently, parking is prohibited at anytime on the west side of Kenneth Avenue, from Sheppard Avenue East to Hollywood
Avenue. There are four parking meters on the east side of Kenneth Avenue, immediately north of Sheppard Avenue East.
From the north limit of the metered parking spaces to Hollywood Avenue, parking is prohibited from 8:00 a.m. and 4:00
p.m., Monday to Friday.
Discussions:
Staff of the Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department has received a request from Mr.
Herb Freeman, 5 Kenneth Avenue, to prohibit parking at anytime on the east side of Kenneth Avenue, between Sheppard
Avenue East and Spring Garden Avenue.
Mr. Freeman has indicated that vehicles parked on the east side of Kenneth Avenue in front of the condominium at 5
Kenneth Avenue are causing a sight obstruction for motorists exiting from the driveway.
Our investigation has verified Mr. Freeman's concern, as vehicles parked on either side of the driveway access to 5 Kenneth
Avenue create an obstruction.
Conclusions:
This department supports the request to prohibit parking at anytime on the east side of Kenneth Avenue.
