Stopping Prohibitions - Greenfield Avenue - North York Centre
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 9, 1998) from the
Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre:
Purpose:
To prohibit stopping at any time on the north side of Greenfield Avenue, between Doris Avenue and the entrance to the
Atrium II underground parking garage.
Source of funds:
All costs associated with the installation of the stopping restrictions are included within the 1998 operating budget.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Schedule IX of By-law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to prohibit
stopping at any time on the north side of Greenfield Avenue, from the westerly limit of Doris Avenue to a point 50
metres westerly thereof.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Currently, stopping is prohibited on the north side Greenfield Avenue from Yonge Street to a point 50 metres west of
Doris Avenue. From Doris Avenue to a point 50 metres west, parking is prohibited at any time.
Staff of the Transportation Division have reviewed the concerns of the Board of Directors of Condominium Corporation
650, Atrium II, 65 Spring Garden Avenue, regarding vehicles, with displayed disabled parking permits, parked on the
north side of Greenfield Avenue, west of Doris Avenue. These vehicles create a sight obstruction for motorists exiting the
Atrium II underground parking garage and impact traffic operations at the signalized intersection of Doris Avenue and
Greenfield Avenue.
Discussion:
The installation of stopping prohibitions on the north side of Greenfield Avenue, west of Doris Avenue, would improve
the sight lines for motorists exiting the condominium driveway and operations at the Doris Avenue/Greenfield Avenue
intersection should vehicles otherwise be parked at this location.
Conclusions:
In view of the above, the Transportation Division would support the recommendation to prohibit stopping at any time on
the north side of Greenfield Avenue, west of Doris Avenue.
