To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki,

Director, Transportation Services - District 3

Subject:Parking Prohibitions: Vanley Crescent

North York Spadina

Purpose:

To prohibit parking on the east side of Vanley Crescent, south of Chesswood Drive.

Source of funds:

All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the 1999 operating budget.

Recommendations:

That Schedules VIII and X of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit parking as follows:

2.That parking be prohibited at anytime on the east side of Vanley Crescent, from Chesswood Drive to a point 170 metres south.

Background:

Currently, parking is prohibited at anytime on the west side of Vanley Crescent and permitted for a maximum period of 60 minutes on the east side, south of Chesswood Drive.

   Discussion:

An investigation conducted by staff of the Works and Emergency Services has verified that vehicles are continually parked on the east side of Vanley Crescent, despite enforcement of the current parking regulations by the Toronto Police Services Parking Enforcement Unit. Vehicles parked at this location restrict the flow of two-way traffic. Parked vehicles are of particular concern due to the high volume of large trucks destined for the solid waste transfer station.

Both local Councillors support the proposed amenments to the parking restrictions.

Conclusions:

The prohibition of parking at anytime on the east side of Vanley Crescent, between Chesswood Drive and the solid waste transfer station driveway, would improve the flow of traffic at this location.
