Stopping Prohibition on Surrey Avenue
West of Inniswood Drive
Ward 14 - Scarborough Wexford
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 25, 1999) from the
Director of Transportation Services, District 4:
Purpose:
To investigate the need to prohibit stopping on the south side of Surrey Avenue, west of InniswoodDrive.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $300.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the stopping prohibition signs are available in the
Transportation Services 1999 budget, Account No. 100-TP0226.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the parking regulations identified in Appendix 1 of this report be rescinded;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 received a request from Councillor Kelly, on behalf of the residents of 28Inniswood Drive, to
investigate the parking situation on Surrey Avenue. The complaint of the residents is that parking along the south side of
Surrey Avenue, west of Inniswood Drive, impedes the sight lines exiting from their driveway.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Surrey Avenue is a residential roadway located south of Lawrence Avenue, between Victoria Park Avenue and Tedford
Drive (east of Pharmacy Avenue). Parking is prohibited on both sides of Surrey Avenue between Victoria Park Avenue and
Inniswood Drive, however, delivery vehicles which may be associated with the strip plaza, on the southeast corner of
Victoria Park Avenue and Surrey Avenue, on occasion park on the south side of Surrey Avenue. This impedes the sight
lines for the residents of 28 Inniswood Drive, who have driveway access onto Surrey Avenue. The area in question on the
south side of Surrey Avenue is not required by the strip plaza for delivery purposes.
In order to resolve the problem of vehicles parking along the south side of Surrey Avenue, adjacent to the property of 28
Inniswood Drive, a "No Stopping Anytime" prohibition is proposed. This would attempt to ensure that adequate sight lines
exist for exiting from the driveway of 28InniswoodDrive because no temporary standing privileges are allowed under this
prohibition.
Conclusions:
A stopping prohibition is recommended on the south side of Surrey Avenue from Inniswood Drive to a point 45 metres
further west. This prohibition will improve sight lines for residents exiting from the driveway at 28 Inniswood Drive.
