To:Chairman and Members of the Scarborough Community Council

Works and Emergency Services, District 4
Subject:No Stopping Anytime Prohibition on Fundy Bay Boulevard at David Lewis Public School, Scarborough
Agincourt
Purpose:
To investigate the need to prohibit vehicles from stopping on a portion of Fundy Bay Boulevard at a proposed School
Crossing.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $600.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the stopping prohibition signs are available in the
Transportation Services 1999 budget, Cost Centre No. TP0226.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the parking regulation identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;
(2)the parking and stopping regulations identified in Appendix 2 of this report be adopted; and
(3)the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Transportation Services has been informed by the Toronto Police Service, Community Policing Support Unit that a school
safety patrol program is to be established at David Lewis Public School. This program will operate at a proposed School
Crossing on Fundy Bay Boulevard at Sandy Haven Drive.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
David Lewis Public School and St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic School are located on the north side of Fundy Bay
Boulevard near Innislawn Road. Fundy Bay Boulevard is located between Birchmount Road and Warden Avenue, north of
McNicoll Avenue. Both schools currently have what we refer to as "school side parking/opposite side no stopping".
In order to ensure good sight lines for both directions on either side of the proposed School Crossing, it is necessary to
prohibit stopping. As a stopping restriction currently exists on the south side of the street during school times, along with a
corner parking prohibition, a stopping prohibition is only necessary on the north side.
Conclusions:
Prohibiting stopping on the north side of Fundy Bay Boulevard, on either side of the School Crossing, will provide clear
sight lines, free from parked vehicles, for pedestrians crossing at this location. This recommendation will reduce the
available 30 minute permitted parking in front of the school by approximately three vehicles, however, ample parking will
remain north and east of the crossing.
