Parking Prohibitions - Hanover Road - North York Spadina

The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (September 2, 1999) from the Director, Transportation Services, District 3:

Purpose:

To prohibit parking at anytime on the north side of Hanover Road, opposite 130 Maniza Road.

Source of funds:

All costs associated with the installation of the parking restrictions are included within the 1999 operating budget.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that Schedule VIII of By-law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit parking at anytime on the north side of Hanover Road, from a point opposite the westerly limit of Maniza Road to a point 60 metres westerly thereof.

Council Reference:

Currently, parking is permitted for periods of up to a maximum of three hours on the north side of Hanover Road and prohibited at anytime on the south side, from the westerly limit of Maniza Road to a point 60 metres westerly thereof.

Comments:

Through the local Councillors offices, staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department, have received numerous complaints of parked vehicles on the north side of Hanover Road. The complainants indicated that vehicles associated with Bombardier (deHavilland) are continually parking on the roadway, limiting access to their properties.

To address a similar concern, parking was previously prohibited on the south side of the roadway, adjacent to 130 Maniza Road.

Councillors Howard Moscoe and Michael Feldman support the implementation of the parking prohibitions.

Conclusions:

The implementation of the parking restrictions will not adversely affect the availability of parking for the adjacent properties. The Transportation Division supports the implementation of the parking restrictions, as per the residents' request.
