Comments:
In response to complaints from residents and in consultation with Councillor Michael Walker, City Works Services has investigated the incidence of long term non-resident parking on Weybourne Crescent in the vicinity of Premises No. 18 Weybourne Crescent and on the section of St. Leonard's Avenue from Mt. Pleasant Road to Weybourne Crescent.
The following parking regulations are in effect on Weybourne Crescent from St. Edmund=s Drive to Lawrence Avenue East:
South and east sides:
(a) Parking is prohibited at anytime from St. Edmund's Drive to a point 30.5 metres south;
(b) Parking is prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, from a point 30.5 metres south of St. Edmund's Drive to a point 30.5 metres west of Dawlish Avenue;
(c) Parking is prohibited at anytime from a point 30.5 metres west of Dawlish Avenue to Lawrence Avenue East;
(d) Parking is permitted for a maximum period of one hour from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, from a point 30.5 metres south of St. Edmund's Drive to a point 30.5 metres west of Dawlish Avenue; and
(e) Parking is otherwise permitted for a maximum period of three hours.
North and west sides:
(a) Parking is prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, from a point opposite St. Edmund's Drive to a point 38.1 metres south;
(b) Parking is prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday from St. Leonard's Avenue to Lawrence Avenue East; and
(c) Parking is otherwise permitted for a maximum period of three hours.
The intersection of St. Leonard's Avenue and Mt. Pleasant Road is controlled by traffic control signals. Signs posted in the field indicate that parking is prohibited at anytime on the north side of St. Leonard's Avenue from Mt. Pleasant Road to Pote Avenue and on the south side from Mt. Pleasant Road to a point approximately 75 metres west of Mt. Pleasant Road. Parking is otherwise permitted for a maximum period of three hours on both sides of the subject section of St. Leonard's Avenue.
Site investigation has confirmed that most of the streets in the vicinity of the subject sections of Weybourne Crescent and St. Leonard=s Avenue are governed by weekday, daytime parking regulations which were implemented to control long term non-resident parking, generated in part, by commuters using the nearby Lawrence Station of the Yonge subway line. The sections of Weybourne Crescent and St. Leonard=s Avenue noted above are currently governed by the statutory three hour maximum parking limit, which has resulted in numerous vehicles parking on these streets for extended periods of time.
Accordingly, to be consistent with the other parking regulations in force on other sections of Weybourne Crescent and to resolve residents= concerns, parking should be prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday as noted in Recommendation Nos. 1, 2 and 3 above.
