Removal of Parking Prohibition: Enterprise Road

 The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 24, 1998) from the Commissioner of Works, Etobicoke District:

 Purpose:

 To propose the removal of the parking prohibition on the south side of Enterprise Road from a point 350.0 metres east of Martin Grove Road to a point 74.0 metres east thereof.

 Funding Sources:

 The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are contained in the Transportation Department's Operating Budget.

 Recommendations:

 It is recommended that:

 (1)the current parking prohibition on the south side of Enterprise Road be amended to allow on-street parking from a point 350.0 metres east of Martin Grove Road to a point 74.0 metres east thereof; and

 (2)the appropriate by-law (Attachment No. 1) be amended accordingly.

 Background:

 The Transportation Department is in receipt of correspondence from Mr. Jonathan Cole, owner of the properties located at 27 - 39 Enterprise Road, requesting that the parking prohibition currently in effect in front of these properties be rescinded to allow for short-term on-street parking. A map of the area is Attachment No. 2.

 Comments:

 Enterprise Road, at this point, is a two-lane roadway, with treated shoulders approximately 3.0 metres wide. Due to the width of the shoulders the re-introduction of parking on the south side of Enterprise Road would in no way affect traffic flow on the roadway or compromise traffic safety.

 Conclusions:

 Based on the staff examination, Council's endorsement of this matter contained herein would be appropriate.

 (Copies of Attachment Nos. 1-2, referred to in the foregoing report were forwarded to all Members of Council with the agenda of the Etobicoke Community Council meeting June 24, 1998, and copies thereof are on file in the office of the City Clerk.)
