10 May 1999
To: Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council
From: Roberto Stopnicki,
Director, Transportation Services - District 3
Subject: Temporary Road Closure: Parkview Avenue
North York Centre
Purpose: To temporarily close a portion of Parkview Avenue, to accommodate a street party.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the temporary road closure, with the exception of the $50.00 application fee, are included within the 1999 operating budget.
Recommendations:
- By enactment of a confirmatory By-Law adopting this report, Parkview Avenue, between Willowdale Avenue and Longmore Street, should be closed temporarily on Saturday, June 12, from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (Rain date on Sunday, June 13), subject to the applicant's compliance with procedural By-Law #27433 of the former City of North York; and
- During the temporary closure, there shall be no use of the closed roadway for vehicular traffic except under the authority of a permit issued by the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services.
Background:
The Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department received a request from Mrs. Maureen Metcalfe-Tamm, on behalf of the local residents, to temporarily close a portion of Parkview Avenue to accommodate their street party.
Discussion:
In accordance with a procedure established by the former City of North York, staff of the Transportation Services Division canvassed the local Councillors and other Divisions within the City of Toronto for comments regarding the proposed closure. As a result of the requests for comments, no objections to the closure were received. The Toronto Fire Services supported the closure, subject to the following conditions:
- The applicant shall insure that the area to be barricaded off is cleared of parked vehicles and obstacles that would interfere with the movement of fire vehicles, in the event of an emergency, and that individuals be readily available to remove the barricades in order not to impede the movement of the fire department vehicles should an emergency occur; and
- The organizers of the event be made aware that should an emergency arise within the area, it could well interrupt the program as planned.
Conclusions:
The Transportation Services Division supports the temporary closure of a portion of Parkview Avenue, as requested by the applicant.
