Parking Prohibitions - Weetwood Street - North York Centre South
The North York Community Council reports having received the following report and
recommended that no action be taken at this time:
Purpose:
To install parking prohibitions on Weetwood Street, north of Old Orchard Grove.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the
1999 operating budget.
Recommendation:
To amend Schedule VIII of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, to prohibit
parking between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, on both sides of Weetwood
Street, for it's entire length.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Councillor Milton Berger has advised that residents of Weetwood Street have requested the
installation of parking prohibitions on both sides of the roadway. The local residents have
advised that motorists associated with commercial properties on Avenue Road park their
vehicles daily on Weetwood Street.
Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on Weetwood Street.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
As a result of an investigation by staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works
and Emergency Services Department, the residents' concerns have been confirmed as several
vehicles were parked on Weetwood Street. A review of the location files has revealed that
there have been several previous requests for enforcement of the three hour parking limit.
Based on the continued complaints, it would appear that enforcement alone has been
ineffective in reducing the level of on street parking.
Conclusions:
The Transportation Services Division supports amending the parking restrictions, as per the
residents' request.
