Proposed Parking Prohibitions -
Wedgewood Avenue -
North York Centre
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (October 2, 1998) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 3:
Purpose:
To install parking prohibitions on both sides of Wedgewood Avenue.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the 1998 operating budget.
Recommendation:
That Schedule VIII of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit parking on both
sides of Wedgewood Avenue, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, from a point 91.5 metres
east of Yonge Street to Tobruk Crescent.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, parking is prohibited at any time on the north side of Wedgewood Avenue, from Yonge Street to Tobruk
Crescent, and on the south side, from Yonge Street to a point 91.5 east of Yonge Street. On the remaining portion of the
south side of Wedgewood Avenue, to Tobruk Crescent, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours.
Discussion:
Residents of Wedgewood Avenue have advised staff of the Works and Emergency Services Department, Transportation
Services, that vehicles are being parked for extended periods of time within the area where parking is permitted for up to
three hours. Despite numerous requests to the Toronto Police Services, enforcement for illegal parking has proven
ineffective.
We have been advised by Councillor Filion's office that the results of a recent survey of the residents of Wedgewood
Crescent, conducted by his office, support the installation of the parking prohibitions.
Conclusions:
Staff of this division supports amending the parking restrictions on both sides of Wedgewood Avenue, from Yonge Street
to Tobruk Crescent.
