Proposed Parking Prohibitions - Haven Road -
North York Spadina
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (October 26, 1998) from
the Director, Transportation Services, District 3:
Purpose:
To prohibit parking between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on both sides of Haven Road, from
Glen Long Avenue to Glen Park 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 Haven Road, from the northerly limit of Glen Park Avenue to the southerly limit of Glen Long Avenue.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on both sides of this section of Haven Road.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Staff of the Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department have been advised by local
residents that students of the nearby schools are parking daily for extended periods of time. This parking activity restricts
two way traffic and access/egress from residential driveways. Despite numerous requests to the Toronto Police Services
for enforcement of the three hour parking limit, the students' parking habits have not changed. As identified in the
attached petition, the majority of residents of this section of the roadway support the proposed parking restrictions. The
concerns of the residents have been confirmed by staff.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, this department supports amending the current parking regulations, as requested by the local
residents.
