Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Dubray Avenue

North York Spadina

Purpose:

To restrict parking on the west side of Dubray Avenue, north of Wilson 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 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Dubray Avenue, from a point 30 metres north of Wilson Avenue to a point 94 metres northerly thereof.

Background:

Currently, stopping is prohibited on the east and north sides of Dubray Avenue. Parking is prohibited on the west and south sides of Dubray Avenue, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, from the southerly limit of Paxtonia Boulevard to a point 126 metres north of Wilson Avenue. Parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on the west side of Dubray Avenue, opposite Madonna High School.

Discussion:

As a result of the resident's concerns, staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department, have verified that when vehicles are parked on the west side of Dubray Avenue, opposite Madonna High School, southbound traffic often cross the centre line of the roadway. This is of particular concern when vehicles are stopped illegally on the west side of Dubray Avenue, three hour parking and stopping regulations at this location have proven ineffective.

Conclusions:

The continuation of the existing "No Parking, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday", prohibitions on the west side of Dubray Avenue, will improve traffic operations at this location.
