Holborn Director, Engineering & Public Works Subject: No Parking By-law on The Esplanade North - File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1. That Report ES 02-13 of the Director, Engineering & Public Works regarding parking and stopping restrictions on The Esplanade North, in response to , Resolution #157/12 be received; and 2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "2" to By-law 6604/05 to provide for the regulation of parking on highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering. Executive Summary: On December 10, 2012 Council passed Resolution #157/12 for staff to investigate and review with Durham Region Transit (DRT) staff, any required parking or stopping restrictions on The Esplanade North and other locations along the Durham Region Transit Route 110 to accommodate the revised Route 110, and to review Pickering Parkway befinreen Liverpool Road and Glenanna Road for an additional transit stop for the revised route. The revised route will be more convenient for residents of the Durham Condominium Corporation Alliance, which is located north of The Esplanade North, resulting in an overall improved service and increased ridership. Engineering & Public Works and Durham Region Transit staff have reviewed ' the revised route for potential conflicts with DRT buses and recommend that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to include parking restrictions on the north side of The Esplanade North from Glenanna Road to 48 metres east of Glenanna Road, and on the south side of The Esplanade North from Glenanna Road to 55 metres east of Glenanna Road. Durham Region Transit staff have also stated that there is an existing bus stop northbound on Liverpool Road at Pickering Parkway and another one eastbound on Pickering Parkway at 1305 Pickering Parkway. The next transit stop after that is northbound on Glenanna Road. Durham Region Transit staff have mentioned that these transit stops work for them at this time and currently are not seeking any additional transit stops along Pickering Parkway for the revised Route 110. Report ES 02-13 February 11, 2013 Subject: No Parking By-law on The Esplanade North Page 2 Financial Implications: The acquisition of no parking signs, no stopping signs and posts can be accommodated in the roads current budget. Discussion: On December 10, 2012 Council passed Resolution #157/12 (Attachment #1) for staff to investigate and review with Durham Region Transit staff any required parking or stopping restrictions on The Esplanade North, and other locations along the Durham Region Transit Route 110, to accommodate the revised Route 110 and to review Pickering Parkway between Liverpool Road and Glenanna Road for an additional transit stop for the revised route. Durham Region Transit Route 110 currently travels from the Pickering GO station north on Liverpool Road, east on Kingston Road, south on Glenanna Road, east on The Esplanade South past Pickering City Hall and then loops around, consisting of a route , comprised of Valley Farm Road, Pickering Parkway, Brock Road, Finch Avenue, Whites ' Road, Oklahoma Drive, West Shore Boulevard and Bayly Street. DRT Route 110 is being revised by Durham Region Transit staff to travel from the GO Station north on ' Liverpool Road, east on Pickering Parkway, north on Glenanna Road, east on The Esplanade North, past Pickering City Hall then returning to the GO Station via the same route as the current Route 110. The existing DRT Route 110 and proposed revision is shown graphically in Attachment #2. The revised route will be more convenient for residents of the Durham Condominium Corporation Alliance, which is located north of The Esplanade North, between Valley Farm Road and Glenanna Road. The revised routing of DRT Route 110 should result in an overall improved service and increased ridership. In response to Resolution #157/12, City of Pickering staff met with Durham Region Transit staff on The Esplanade North in December 2012 to observe traffic and possible transit issues that would arise with the revised Route 110. During the review, " Engineering & Public Works and Durham Region Transit staff observed vehicles as they turned from Glenanna onto The Esplanade North. The main concern for transit vehicles travelling eastbound is with the curve on The Esplanade North when turning from Glenanna Road. Durham Region Transit staff have stated that while smaller community buses can navigate the cui've and parked vehicles on The Esplanade North, larger conventional buses could not. I It was discussed between Engineering & Public Works and Durham Region Transit staff that in order to allow for safer transit operations on The Esplanade North, with the revised Durham Region Transit Route 110, parking restrictions would be required to allow transit vehicles and motorists more space on The Esplanade North to manoeuvre so they can pass opposing traffic safely. This will allow a safer condition for all motorists and allows for the majority of parking to remain on The Esplanade North. CORP0227-07/01 revised Report ES 02-13 February 11, 2013 'Subject: No Parking By-law on The Esplanade North Page 3 In recognition of the review, Engineering & Public Works staff recommends that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect the following: • no parking restrictions on the north side of The Esplanade North from Glenanna Road to 48 metres east of Glenanna Road • no parking restrictions on south side of The Esplanade North from Glenanna Road to 55 metres east of Glenanna Road The proposed parking restrictions reduce available parking by five vehicles on the south side and three vehicles on the north side of The Esplanade North. The proposed parking restrictions on The Esplanade North are shown graphically in the attached sketch (Attachment #3). The draft by-law amendment for Schedule 2 No Parking can be found in Attachment #4. Durham Region Transit staff has advised that they are prepared to remove the bus stop at The Esplanade South near Valley Farm, once the proposed parking restrictions are installed. With regards to the revised Route 110 eastbound along Pickering Parkway, Durham Region Transit staff has stated that there is an existing bus stop northbound on Liverpool Road at Pickering Parkway and another one eastbound on Pickering Parkway at 1305 Pickering Parkway. The next transit stop after that is northbound on Glenanna Road. Durham Region Transit staff have advised that no additional transit stops along Pickering Parkway will be added to the revised DRT Route 110. Attachments: 1. Resolution #157/12 2.

December 14, 2012 To: Everett Buntsma Director, Community Services From: Debbie Shields City Clerk Subject: Direction as per Minutes of the Special Meeting of City Council held on December 10, 2012 I Notice of Motion DRT Route 110 ' Council Decision Resolution #157/12 Whereas Durham Region Transit (DRT) route 110 currently travels in a loop from the Pickering GO Station north on Liverpool Road, east on Kingston Road, south on Glenanna Road, east on The Esplanade south past Pickering City Hall then returns to the GO Station via a route generally consisting of Brock Road, Finch Avenue, Whites Road and Bayly Street; and Whereas DRT route 110 previously traveled east bound on The Esplanade North which was very convenient and well used by the residents of Durham Condo Corporation Alliance (DCCA, including DCC 93, DCC 106, DCC 136, DCC 164, DSCC 190) located north of The Esplanade North, between Valley Farm Road and Glenanna Road; and Whereas DRT changed this route to travel east bound on The Esplanade South, in part to avoid turning left onto The Esplanade North, and in part due to traffic issues caused by parked vehicles on The Esplanade North. An unintended result was that the bus stop locations were much less convenient for DCCA residents, and use of the route by residents declined; and Whereas discussions with DCCA residents, DRT and City of Pickering staff have resulted in an agreeable solution to address these concerns and likely results in a route that provides improved service and increased ridership. This solution involves a revised route 110 that proceeds from the GO Station travelling north on Liverpool Road, east on Pickering Parkway, north on Glenanna Road, east on The Esplanade North, past Pickering City Hall then returns to the GO Station via the same route as the current route 110; and ATTRCHMEN-r#_ / T-OREPoR-r# cs oa-13, -Z of .2- Directive Memorandum Dec. 14, 2012 NOM - DRT Route 110 Page 2 Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Pickering support the proposed routing of Route 110; and Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Pickering prepare, for Council's consideration, any required no stopping or no parking bylaws on The Esplanade North and other locations along the route discussed with DRT to address any bus access issues on this newly proposed route; and Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Pickering engage in discussions with appropriate parties to seek a new bus stop location along Pickering Parkway between Liverpool Road and Glenanna Road; and Now therefore be it resolved that this motion be forwarded to the President, DCCA and I Durham Region Transit. • Please take any action deemed necessary. ~ • ~~►,~-~.~0 Debbie Shields /Ir Copy: Chief Administrative Officer ATTACFiMENT# --2:- TdREPORT# ES Oa-13 1 of ~ . . ~ - .
