Adjustment to Parking Regulations - Davisville Avenue
between Mount Pleasant Road and Belle Ayre Boulevard
North Toronto)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (September 30, 1998) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 1:
Purpose:
To make the necessary by-law amendments to remove the student drop-off and pick-up area on Davisville Avenue in front
of Hodgson Senior Public School as a result of the elimination of traffic islands and other recent regulation changes.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not Applicable.
Recommendations:
1. That the amendment to the parking regulation on Davisville Avenue, in front of Hodgson Senior Public School
specified in Appendix A of this report be approved in order to remove a student drop-off and pick-up zone; and
2.That the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to implement the foregoing,
including the introduction in Council of any Bills that might be required.
Comments:
Recently, a number of amendments to parking regulations were enacted in conjunction with the removal of traffic islands
in the South Eglinton area. The plan involved the use of traffic islands on the north side of Davisville Avenue at Hodgson
Senior Public School. The islands created a chicane to control vehicle speeds, and had the added benefit of providing a
protected parking area for about six vehicles outside the school. This area was authorized for 10 minute parking for
pick-up and drop-off activities during key times for the school.
With the restoration of parking to the south side, there is not enough space to safely maintain this drop-off/pick-up area.
Since this facility did not exist prior to the islands, and there are other opportunities to accommodate the activity in the
vicinity of the school, the appropriate housekeeping amendments as set out in the attached Appendix A should be
approved.
