September 10, 1999

To:Toronto Community Council

From:Andrew Koropeski, Director, Transportation Services, District 1.

Subject:Ellerbeck Street, from the first lane north of Danforth Avenue to Erindale

Avenue/Hurndale Avenue - Parking Regulations (Don River Ward 25)

Purpose:

To report on a proposal intended to increase the number of parking spaces on Ellerbeck Street and enhance parking opportunity for area residents.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Funds to undertake the necessary signage adjustments in the estimated amount of $600.00 are contained in the Transportation Services Division 1999 Current Budget.

Recommendations:

(1). That the "No Parking Anytime" regulation on the west side of Ellerbeck Street, from the first lane north of Danforth Avenue to Erindale Avenue/Hurndale Avenue, be rescinded; and

(2)That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required

Comments:

At the request of Councillor Pam McConnell on behalf of area residents, Transportation Services' staff have investigated the feasibility of allowing parking on the west side of Ellerbeck Street, from the first lane north of Danforth Avenue to Erindale Avenue/Hurndale Avenue, in order to increase on-street parking opportunity for area residents.

Parking demand by residents in the area has increased significantly in recently years. By allowing parking on the subject section of Ellerbeck Street, 5 additional parking spaces would be created on this street. Since permit parking is currently not licensed on the subject section of Ellerbeck Street at this time, this will have no impact on the status of permit parking in the neighbourhood nor will this proposal adversely affect operational safety on Ellerbeck Street.
