CITY CLERK
Clause embodied in Report No. 8 of the Urban Environment and Development Committee, as adopted
by the Council of the City of Toronto at its meeting held on June 9, 10 and 11, 1999.
7
Various Amendments to Former Metropolitan Traffic By-laws
(City Council on June 9, 10 and 11, 1999, amended this Clause by striking out and referring the following entry in
Appendix 1, entitled "Schedule VIII to Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law", to the report dated April 26, 1999, from the
Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services, to the North York Community Council for consideration:
| "Sheppard Avenue East
(M.T. 28) |
North |
Yonge Street and Victoria Park Avenue |
Anytime.") |
The Urban Environment and Development Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (April 26,
1999) from the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services and that authority be granted for the introduction
of the necessary bill in Council to give effect thereto:
Purpose:
To effect amendments to the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and other traffic-related Metropolitan by-laws with
respect to entries which are incorrect or no longer applicable.
Funding Sources:
Funds associated with this work are contained in the Transportation Services Division's 1999 Current Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the changes, additions and deletions to the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and other traffic-related Metropolitan
by-laws outlined in the attached Appendices be adopted; and
(2)the appropriate by-law(s) be amended accordingly.
Discussion:
At the present time almost all traffic by-laws which were in place prior to 1998 within the seven municipalities are still in
effect and require distinct amendments. It will be some time before the consolidation of these by-laws is complete. In the
mean time it is necessary to amend the existing by-laws to legalize current conditions and provide for a means of
enforcement.
Our semi-annual review of various schedules of the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and other traffic-related
Metropolitan by-laws revealed a number of entries which are incorrect or no longer applicable and which should be
amended or deleted.
In general, the amendments identified in the Appendices to this report are housekeeping in nature and are required in order
to correct typographical/clerical errors or to formalize signage and pavement markings which exist on-street. Attached to
each Appendix 1 through 7 are explanatory notes describing why the amendments are being introduced.
In order to maintain current and accurate by-law information, it is recommended that the changes, additions and deletions
to the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and other traffic-related Metropolitan by-laws listed in the attached
Appendices 1 through 7 be put into effect.
Conclusions:
The adoption of the by-law amendments identified in the Appendices to this report will improve the accuracy of
information contained in the Metropolitan Uniform Traffic By-law and other traffic-related Metropolitan by-laws and,
when necessary, allow for proper enforcement and prosecution.
