Parking Prohibitions Amendments - Hanover Road -

North York Spadina

 The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 8, 1998) from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre:

 Purpose:

 To prohibit parking on the south side of Hanover Road, between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, adjacent to the property located at 130 Maniza Road.

 Source of funds:

 All costs associated with the installation of the parking prohibitions are included within the 1998 operating budget.

 Recommendation:

 It is recommended that Schedule VIII of By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit parking on the south side of Hanover Road, between 8:00 a.m and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, from a point opposite the westerly limit of Maniza Road to a point 60 metres westerly thereof.

 Council Reference/Background/History:

 Currently, parking is permitted for up to a maximum of three hours on both sides of Hanover Road.

 The resident at 130 Maniza Road has indicated that vehicles, when parked on both sides of the roadway, restrict access to/from their driveway, limiting the safe flow of two way traffic, and may have created a barrier during a recent break in of their property.

 With the exception of the driveway for the property located at 130 Maniza Road, there are no other access locations in this area. To the west on Hanover Road, access is provided to the DeHavilland parking facility.

 Discussion:

 The installation of the parking restrictions would not adversely affect the adjacent properties. With the removal of the parked vehicles adjacent to 130 Maniza Road, motorists' visibility will be greatly increased while exiting from the driveway.

 Conclusions:

 In view of the above, this department would support an amendment to the parking regulations, as per the resident's request.

 Contact Name:

 Mr. Michael Frederick, Director of Operations, at 395- 7484.
