23 August 1999

To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director,

Transportation Services - District 3

Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Botham Road

North York Centre

Purpose:

To restrict parking at anytime on the west side of Botham Road, from Poyntz Avenue to a point 40 metres south.

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 at anytime on the west side of Botham Road, from the southerly limit of Poyntz Avenue to a point 40 metres southerly thereof.

Background:

The Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department received a complaint from Dr. Marie Roy, 89 Poyntz Avenue, that after 4:00 p.m. numerous vehicles are parked on the west side of Botham Road, immediately south of Poyntz Avenue. These vehicles create a sight obstruction for motorists exiting her driveway.

Currently, parking is prohibited from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Botham Road, and is at anytime on the east side, between Poyntz Avenue and Franklin Avenue.

Discussion:

An investigation by staff of the Transportation Services Division confirmed Dr. Roy's concern as vehicles were parked on the west side of Botham Road, immediately south of Poyntz Avenue. It was also confirmed that sightlines for motorists exiting from Dr. Roy's driveway are reduced.

Councillor John Filion and Councillor Norman Gardner have indicated their support to prohibit parking at anytime on the west side of Botham Road, along the flankage of Dr. Roy's property.

Conclusions:

The installation of the parking restrictions will improve the overall level of safety and will not negatively impact the availability of on street parking.
