5 January 1999
To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council
From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director
Transportation Services - District 3
Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Tempo Avenue
North York Seneca Heights
Purpose:To permit parking on the north side of Tempo Avenue, west of Victoria Park Avenue, for periods of up to a
maximum of three hours.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the 1999 operating budget.
Recommendations:
That Schedule VIII of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit parking at any time,
Monday to Friday, on the north side of Tempo Avenue, from a point 65 metres west of Victoria Park Avenue to a point 112
metres westerly thereof.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, parking is prohibited at any time on both sides of Tempo Avenue, from Harold Evans Crescent to Victoria Park
Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
On behalf of the property owner at 3600-3640 Victoria Park Avenue, Councillor Joan King requested staff of the
Transportation Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department to consider permitting weekend parking on the
north side of Tempo Avenue.
As a result of the investigation, it was determined that should parking be permitted on the north side of Tempo Avenue,
adjacent to the properties, two way traffic could be maintained. It was concluded, however, that to maintain the safe flow of
traffic through the Victoria Park Avenue/Tempo Avenue intersection, any parking restrictions within 65 metres of Victoria
Park Avenue must be maintained.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, this division supports amending the parking regulations on the north side of Tempo Avenue, west of
Victoria Park Avenue.
