Parking Prohibitions - Chipping Road - Don Parkway
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(December 29, 1999) from the Director, Transportation Services, District 3, Works and
Emergency Services:
Purpose:
To introduce a "No Parking, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday to Friday" parking prohibition on
Chipping Road, from Don Mills Road to Crossburn Drive.
Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
All costs associated with the implementation of parking restrictions are included within the
Division's operating budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that Schedule VIII of By-law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be
amended to prohibit parking on both sides of Chipping Road, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m., Monday to Friday, from a point 30 meters east of Don Mills Road to Crossburn Drive.
Background:
Staff of the Transportation Services Division has reviewed a request by local residents to implement
parking prohibitions to address the continuous on-street parking by students of Seneca College.
Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum period of three hours on Chipping Road. On
several of the adjacent roadways, parking is prohibited between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.,
Monday to Friday.
Comments:
Observations by staff of this division support the residents concerns as numerous vehicles were
parked on the roadway. These vehicles often restricted the flow of two-way traffic.
Previous requests to the Toronto Police Services for enforcement of the three-hour limits has proven
ineffective in reducing the on-street parking.
Conclusions:
Although weekday daytime on-street parking would be eliminated, the introduction of the parking
restrictions would address the concerns of the local residents. Evening and weekend parking would
be available.
