Subject:Introduction of Parking Prohibition:

Littoral Place

(Kingsway-Humber)

Purpose:

To propose the introduction of a parking prohibition on both sides of Littoral Place between Scarlett Road and the west limit of the road.

Funding Sources:

The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are contained in the Transportation Services Division's Operating Budget.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1)parking be prohibited on both sides of Littoral Place between Scarlett Road and the west limit of the road; and

(2)the appropriate by-law (Attachment No.1) be amended accordingly.

Background:

In October 1998, the Transportation Services Division, received a request (Attachment No. 2) forwarded on behalf of the residents of Littoral Place requesting the introduction of a parking prohibition for both sides of Littoral Place between Scarlett Road and the west limit of the road.

In response to this request, staff polled the thirteen (13) affected residents of Littoral Place, to obtain their opinion on the proposal outlined in the request (Attachment No. 3). There were eleven (11) respondents to the poll: nine (9) were in favour of the proposal and two (2) opposed. A map of the area is AttachmentNo.4.

Comments:

Littoral Place is a two-lane roadway; parking is permitted on both sides of the street from ScarlettRoad to the west limit of the road for a maximum period of three hours.

The high incidence of on-street parking on Littoral Place can be attributed to this street's close proximity to the medium density housing on the east side of Scarlett Road. Residents of these complexes frequently park on Littoral Place, often in excess of the three hour limitation. Periodic police enforcement has had little effect in rendering a long-term solution to this problem. A staff review of the parking supply at these buildings clearly indicates that adequate parking facilities have been provides on the premises of 1/27/49 Scarlettwood Court, and at 58WatertonRoad.

Conclusions:

Based on the staff examination of this matter and the favourable consensus of the affected residents, Council's endorsement of this matter would be appropriate.
