Petition Requesting Parking Prohibitions
on Donside Drive
Ward 13 - Scarborough Bluffs
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (August 25, 1999) from the
Director of Transportation Services, District 4:
Purpose:
To investigate the need to prohibit parking on both sides Donside Drive, between Victoria Park Avenue and Pharmacy
Avenue.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $800.00 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the parking 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 adopted; and
(2)the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly
Council Reference/Background/History:
Transportation Services received a petition, signed by 18 of the 30 properties (60 percent) with direct frontage or side lots
onto Donside Drive. The petitioners are requesting parking prohibitions on both sides of Donside Drive between Victoria
Park Avenue and Pharmacy Avenue.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Donside Drive is a residential roadway located south of St. Clair Avenue, between Victoria Park Avenue and Pharmacy
Avenue. In the petition, residents are requesting "No Parking Anytime" on both sides of Donside Drive from Pharmacy
Avenue and Bexhill Avenue. On the remainder of the street, Bexhill Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue, residents are
requesting that parking be prohibited between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Conclusions:
A 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. parking prohibition on both sides of Donside Drive, Victoria Park Avenue to Bexhill Avenue and
a No Parking Anytime prohibition on both sides of Donside Drive, Pharmacy Avenue to Bexhill Avenue is recommended.
The advantage of these parking regulations are that the police do not have to be contacted to enforce the by-law, as is the
case with the existing three hour maximum permitted parking limit.
