Comments:

At the request of Midtown Councillors John Adams and Ila Bossons on behalf of area residents, staff have investigated the feasibility of prohibiting overnight parking on the south side of Dewbourne Avenue, from Glenayr Road to Old Forest Hill Road, to deter non-resident overnight parking from Monday to Friday.

Dewbourne Avenue from Glenayr Road to Old Forest Hill Road, operates two-way on a pavement width of 7.4 metres. Parking is prohibited anytime on the north side of Dewbourne Avenue from Bathurst Street to Old Forest Hill Road and parking is permitted on the south side between Rosemary Road and Old Forest Hill Road to a maximum period of three hours.

In order to address the concerns of the residents regarding non-resident overnight parking on the street during the weeknights, parking should be prohibited from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of the street. This same prohibition could also be extended in the future to cover the block of Dewbourne Avenue between Rosemary Road and Glenayr Road and the block of Glenayr Road between Dewbourne Avenue and Ava Road which may become necessary as the parking prohibition on the block of Dewbourne Avenue from Glenayr Road to Old Forest Hill Road may shift non-resident overnight parking to these blocks. Staff will monitor this situation and will report further on same should the situation warrant.
