Introduction of a "No Parking" Prohibition -

Kelway Boulevard, North Side from Castle Knock

to Avenue Road (North Toronto)

The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (November25, 1998) from the Director, Transportation Services, District 1:

Purpose:

To reduce the incidence of long term non-resident overnight parking.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Funds to undertake the necessary signage adjustments in the estimated amount of $800.00 are contained in the Transportation Services Division 1998 Current Budget.

Recommendations:

(1)That parking be prohibited on the north side of Kelway Boulevard between Castle Knock Road and Avenue Road from 2:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday and from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., Saturday and Sunday; and

(2)That the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action is necessary to implement the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that may be required.

Comments:

At the request of Councillor Michael Walker, on behalf of area residents Works staff were requested to report on the introduction of a "No parking 2:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday and from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., Saturday and Sunday" prohibition on the north side of Kelway Boulevard from Castle Knock Road to Avenue Road.

Kelway Boulevard operates two-way with a pavement width of 8.53 metres and a maximum speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour. Parking is currently prohibited at anytime on the south side of the subject section of Kelway Boulevard and is permitted for a maximum period of three hours on the north side.

Works staff had received complaints from residents of Kelway Boulevard in the past regarding long term overnight non-resident parking as well as daytime commuter parking. The introduction of the above-noted parking prohibitions would address these concerns. Accordingly, it is recommended that parking be prohibited as described in Recommendation No. 1, above.
