No Stopping Anytime Prohibition on
Galloway Road
Ward 16 - Scarborough Highland Creek
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (August 24, 1999) from the
Director of Transportation Services, District 4:
Purpose:
To investigate the need to prohibit vehicles from stopping on a portion of Galloway Road.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The $600.00 (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 stopping regulation 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 request from an area resident who expressed concern with the parking that is taking
place on the west side of Galloway Road, south of Kingston Road.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
Parking is currently prohibited on the east side of Galloway Road from Kingston Road to a point 120 metres south of
Kingston Road. On the west side of the street, parking is prohibited from Kingston Road to a point 30 metres south of
Kingston Road. At the intersection of Galloway Road and Coronation Drive, corner parking prohibitions exist on the
through street.
As a result of our initial investigations, staff requested police enforcement of the three hour limit to try to deter some of the
on-street parking. Although this enforcement did deter some motorists from parking on the street, at a site meeting with
Councillor Moeser we subsequently observed that parking continues to occur on Galloway Road. As a result of this
meeting, it was suggested by Councillor Moeser that stopping be prohibited at all times in the area of the driveways on the
west side of the street.
Conclusions:
Prohibiting stopping on the west side of Galloway Road from Kingston Road to 130 metres south of Kingston Road is
justified because vehicles may block sightlines for motorists exiting from the driveways in the area. Some on-street parking
would remain on Galloway Road, north of Coronation Drive, in an effort to minimize the potential of relocating this
parking to another street.
