From:Andrew Koropeski, Director, Transportation Services, District 1
Subject:Davenport Road, south side, west of Bartlett Avenue North - Adjustment to parking regulations (Davenport)
Purpose:
To enhance visibility of eastbound traffic on Davenport Road for motorists turning onto Davenport Road from Bartlett
Avenue North.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Funds to cover the cost of this work in the estimated amount of $150.00 can be accommodated in the Transportation
Services Division 1999 Current Budget.
Recommendations:
That parking be prohibited at anytime on the south side of Davenport Road from Bartlett Avenue North to a point 26
metres west; and
That the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action is necessary to implement the
foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.
Comments:
At the request of Councillor Betty Disero on behalf of area residents, Works staff investigated the feasibility of increasing
the existing 15 metres to corner parking prohibition to 26 metres on the south side of Davenport Road, west of Bartlett
Avenue North. Area residents have expressed concern over parked vehicles on the south side of Davenport Road, west of
Bartlett Avenue North, obstructing the view of eastbound traffic on Davenport Road for northbound motorists on Bartlett
Avenue North.
Increasing the existing 15 metres to corner parking prohibition to 26 metres would enhance the visibility of eastbound
traffic (including cyclists) on Davenport Road for northbound motorists on Bartlett Avenue North, however due to the
configuration of the subject intersection it will eliminate two on-street parking spaces and reduce the inventory of available
on-street parking spaces in permit parking Area 3F. For your information, as of May 25, 1999, 757 parking permits had
been issued against 982 available spaces in permit parking Area 3F.
