Parking/Stopping Prohibitions -

Duckworth Street and Thurodale Avenue -

North York Humber

The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (October 21, 1998) from the Director, Transportation Services, District 3:

Purpose:

To amend the current parking/stopping prohibitions on Duckworth Street and Thurodale Avenue, adjacent to St. Bernard Separate School.

Source of funds:

All costs associated with the installation of the parking/stopping restrictions are included within the 1998 operating budget.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that Schedules VIII and IX By-Law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended as follows:

(1)that parking be prohibited at anytime, Monday to Friday, on both sides of Duckworth Street, between Lawrence Avenue West and Thurodale Avenue;

(2)that parking be prohibited at anytime, Monday to Friday, on both sides of Thurodale Avenue, between Martin Drive to Renfield Street;

(3)that stopping be prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Duckworth Street, between Lawrence West and Thurodale Avenue; and

(4)that stopping be prohibited, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of Thurodale Avenue, between Tedder Street and Renfield Street.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, on the west side of Duckworth Street and the north side of Thurodale Avenue adjacent to the St. Bernard Separate School, parking is prohibited at any time and stopping is prohibited between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m, Monday to Friday. Parking is permitted for maximum periods of up to three hours on the east side of Duckworth Street and the south side of Thurodale Avenue, opposite the school.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

As a result of the parking/stopping activities associated with the St. Bernard Separate School, residents of Thurodale Avenue and Duckworth Street are concerned that two way traffic is not being maintained and that residential driveway access is restricted.

To address this concern, they have requested amendments to the current on street parking/stopping restrictions.

Conclusions:

To maintain two way traffic flow and residential property access, staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department, would support an amendment to the parking/stopping regulations, as per the residents' request.
