To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director,

Transportation Services - District 3

Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Dudley Avenue

North York Centre

Purpose:To restrict parking on the west side of Dudley Avenue, from the northerly limit of Craigmore Crescent to Anndale Drive.

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 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Dudley Avenue, from the northerly limit of Craigmore Crescent to the northerly limit of Anndale Drive.

Background:

Councillor Filion's office has been advised by a resident of Dudley Avenue that numerous vehicles are being parked for extended periods of time on the west side of the roadway, south of Craigmore Crescent.

Currently, parking is prohibited on the west side of Dudley Avenue, from Sheppard Avenue East to Craigmore Crescent, and on the east side, from Sheppard Avenue East to Anndale Drive, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on the west side of Dudley Avenue, from Craigmore Crescent to Anndale Drive.

Discussion:

As a result of an investigation by staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department, the residents' concerns have been confirmed as numerous vehicles were observed parked on Dudley Avenue. Enforcement of the three hour parking regulation has not been effective in reducing the parking activities.

Councillor Filion has surveyed the affected residents and has obtained their support to prohibit parking from 8:30 a.m. 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, on the west side of Dudley Avenue, from Craigmore Crescent to Anndale Drive. Councillor Gardner has indicated that he has no objection, provided the residents are in support of the proposed amendments.

Conclusions:

The Transportation Services Division supports amending the parking restrictions, as per the residents' request.
