Permit Parking on Feltham Avenue
Ward 27, York Humber
The York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(July31,1998) from the York Commissioner of Operations Services:
Purpose:
Councillor Frances Nunziata is requesting a report on the feasibility of implementing
on-street permit parking on Feltham Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Traffic budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)By-law No. 3491-80 be amended to introduce on-street permit parking on
FelthamAvenue between Spears Street and Avon Avenue; and
(2)the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the appropriate action to
give effect thereto.
Council Reference/Background History:
Local residents by petition (Appendix I), through Councillor Frances Nunziata's office are
requesting the introduction of on-street permit parking on Feltham Avenue between Spears
Street and Avon Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Feltham Avenue traverses in an east/west direction, between Spears Street and Avon
Avenue, providing two-way vehicular traffic flow.
Currently on-street parking on Feltham Avenue between Spears Street and Avon Avenue is
legally permitted on the north side, exclusively. The parking duration is an unsigned
maximum three (3) hour limit, anytime.
Field surveys reveal there is a total complement of twenty-two (22) curbside parking spaces
available on the north side of Feltham Avenue between Spears Street and Avon Avenue.
On-street permit parking provides those residents, without adequate off-street parking
facilities to legally park their vehicles on the streets on which they reside for extended
periods of time, with impunity from the signed and unsigned parking regulations. We,
therefore, support the introduction of on-street permit parking on Feltham Avenue between
Spears Street and Avon Avenue.
Conclusions:
A review of the petition reveals a total of twenty municipally addressed residences are
requesting the service. For Committee's information there is a total of twenty-nine (29)
fronting and flanking addresses on Feltham Avenue between Spears Street and Avon
Avenue. The petition represents 69% of the total number of properties fronting and flanking
Feltham Avenue between Spears Street and Avon Avenue.
On-street permit parking is a service benefit for every municipally addressed taxpayer
without adequate off-street parking facilities. We, therefore, support and recommend the
implementation of on-street permit parking on Feltham Avenue between Spears Street and
Avon Avenue.
