Stopping Prohibitions - Connaught Avenue
Between Lariviere Road and Fargo Avenue -
North York Centre
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (October 27, 1998) from
the Director, Transportation Services, District 3:
Purpose:
To prohibit stopping between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., on both sides of Connaught Avenue, from Lariviere
Road to Fargo Avenue
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the stopping restrictions are included within the 1998 operating budget.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that schedule IX of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit
stopping on both sides of Connaught Avenue between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., from Lariviere Road to Fargo
Avenue.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently stopping is prohibited on both sides of Connaught Avenue between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., from
Yonge Street to Lariviere Road. Parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on both sides of Connaught
Avenue, west of Lariviere Road.
Discussion:
Following the opening of the Basic Funeral Home on the northwest corner of the Yonge Street\Connaught Avenue
intersection, numerous vehicles were parked on both sides of Connaught Avenue, west of Yonge Street. As a result,
residents requested the installation of stopping prohibitions between Yonge Street and Lariviere Road.
Since the installation of the stopping prohibitions on Connaught Avenue, vehicles belonging to patrons of the Basic
Funeral Home are parking west of Lariviere Road. As a result, residents are requesting that the stopping prohibitions be
farther extended westerly to Fargo Avenue.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, this department would support an amendment to the stopping regulations on Connaught Avenue, as
per the residents' request.
