STAFF REPORT
September 17, 1999
To: Chairman and Members of the Scarborough Community Council
From: Gary H. Welsh, Director, Transportation Services, Works and Emergency
Services, District 4
Subject: Proposed Amendments to Traffic By-law No. 23503
Scarborough Bluffs, Scarborough City Centre, Scarborough Highland Creek
Purpose:
To investigate the need for parking restrictions and stop controls at various locations.
Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $700.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation/removal of parking prohibitions, and with the installation
of stop signs are available in the Transportation Services 1999 budget, Cost Centre No. TP0226.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) the parking regulations identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;
(2) the parking regulations identified in Appendix 2 of this report be adopted;
(3) the stop signs identified in Appendix 3 of this report be adopted; and
(4) the appropriate by-laws be amended accordingly.
Background:
Transportation Services has investigated several items related to parking and stop controls. The following proposed
amendments to Traffic By-law 23503 are the results of these investigations.
Comments:
PARKING CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
Greenbrae Circuit
Transportation Services received a request from the resident of 22 Greenbrae Circuit to remove the No Parking
Anytime/Disabled Parking signs on the north side of Greenbrae Circuit, adjacent to their residence. The signs were initially
installed to facilitate the needs of a disabled person, however these signs are no longer required because this person no
longer lives in the area.
Therefore staff recommend that the above-noted No Parking Anytime/Disabled Parking area be removed.
Kenworthy Avenue
At the request of Councillor Altobello, on behalf of a constituent, staff have investigated the possibility of creating a No
Parking Anytime/Disabled Parking area adjacent to 25 Kenworthy Avenue. This resident has a valid disabled parking
permit, but does not have convenient alternative parking. Staff recommend that the request be granted because the
designation of this parking area for one vehicle will not adversely affect the neighbours.
COMPULSORY STOPS
Rouge Highlands Drive
At the request of Councillor Moeser, Transportation Services investigated the need for a stop sign for southbound Rouge
Highlands Drive at Tudor Glen Crescent. The purpose of this stop control would be to define the right-of-way at this
intersection. No tree trimming will be required to accommodate this sign. Staff support this request to define the
intersection right-of-way with a stop sign on Rouge Highlands Drive.
Rozell Road
Transportation Services has identified the need to install stop controls at two intersections in the new residential
development located on the west side of Port Union Road, north of Lawson Road. The purpose of these stop signs are to
define the right-of-way at the following locations:
Cameron Glen Boulevard @ Kilsyth Drive
Kilsyth Drive @ Rozell Road
No tree trimming will be required to accommodate these signs.
Conclusions:
Based on the results of investigations conducted by staff, the parking modifications related to physically disabled parking
needs at two locations, and new stop signs at three locations, as outlined in this report, are recommended for approval.
