10 March 1999
To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council
From:Roberto Stopnicki,
Director, Transportation Services - District 3
Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Glazebrook Avenue
North York Centre South
Purpose:To amend the parking restrictions on both sides of Glazebrook Avenue.
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 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of
Glazebrook Avenue, from a point 45.75 metres east of the easterly limit of Glenavy
Avenue to the westerly limit of Bayview Avenue; and
- That Schedule VIII of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended
to prohibit parking from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of
Glazebrook Avenue, from a point 30.5 metres east of the easterly limit of Glenavy Avenue
to the westerly limit of Bayview Avenue.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on the south and north
sides of Glazebrook Avenue from a point approximately 30.5 metres east of Glenavy Avenue
to the westerly limit of Bayview Avenue. To the west of a point approximately 30.5 metres
east of Glenavy Avenue, parking is prohibited at anytime on the south and north sides of
Glazebrook Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The residents residing on the north side of Glazebrook Avenue, have submitted a petition to
Councillor Joanne Flint requesting that parking be prohibited on both sides of the roadway,
from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Local residents have advised that commuters and employees of the area businesses are parking
their vehicles on both sides of the roadway, for extended periods of time, thereby reducing
access to their driveways and restricting two way traffic.
Enforcement of the three hour parking limit has been requested on several occasions, with
little to no effect in reducing the abusive parking practices.
Councillor Joanne Flint has reviewed the residents' concerns and, as such, has requested that
the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department
implement the parking amendments.
Conclusions:
The Transportation Services Division supports amending the parking restrictions, as per the
residents' request.
