Report Number: ENG 20-16
Date: December 5, 2016
From: Richard Holborn
Director, Engineering Services
Subject: Accessible Parking Space Requirements Update
- Amendment to Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend By-law 6604/05 to provide for the
regulation of traffic and parking on highways, private property and municipal property within
the City of Pickering, specifically to provide for an extensive update on the accessible
parking requirements.
2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: At the January 19, 2015 Council meeting, Pickering Council passed
Resolution #9/15 requesting that staff initiate a public consultation process on proposed
amendments to By-law 6604/05 regarding accessible parking space requirements in the City of
Pickering. The public consultation consisted of the creation of a webpage on the City's website
with detailed information on the proposed changes. Residents were informed of the webpage
through a City media release, social media, and a community page ad in the local newspaper.
City staff also engaged residents through various City events and have consulted with other
municipalities. The Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee and the City's Accessible Core
Staff Committee have been advised of all findings throughout all aspects of the consultation
process.
Primarily, feedback was received through the public consultation process, with the majority of
respondents being in favour of the proposed changes. Therefore, based on the results of the
public consultation for accessible parking spaces, City staff recommend the amendment to By-law
6604/05 with the amendments summarized in this report.
Financial Implications: There are no financial implications with the enactment of the proposed
By-law amendment. However, all future development and major redevelopments must comply
with the new requirements for accessible parking as set out in this report.

Discussion: At the January 19, 2015 Council meeting, Pickering Council passed
Resolution #9/15 to Report ENG 01-15 (see Attachment 1) requesting that staff initiate a public
consultation process on the proposed amendments to By-law 6604/05 as presented in Report
ENG 01-15 regarding accessible parking space requirements in the City of Pickering.
The key proposed amendments to the By-law as presented in Report ENG 01-15 were as follows
and are presented in more detail in Attachment 2:
1. A City-wide adoption of the minimum accessible parking space requirements as
presented in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act(AODA)
The AODA requirements approximately double the existing requirements for accessible parking
within the City of Pickering.
2. Allow for different types of Accessible Parking Spaces as described in the AODA
The City currently only allows for one type of accessible parking space, which must have a
minimum width of 4.0 metres, and a minimum length of 5.3 metres
The AODA requires the establishment of two types of parking spaces for the use of persons with
disabilities, as follows:
• Type 'A': parking space which has a minimum width of 3.4 metres for vehicles that require
space for the use of a wheelchair.
• Type 'B': parking space which has a minimum width of 2.4 metres for persons with a disability
that do not require the extra space for a wheelchair.
Access aisles are to be used with both Type 'A" and Type 'B' spaces and may be shared by two
parking spaces for the use of persons with disabilities in an off-street parking facility and, must be
a minimum width of 1.5 metres, extend the full length of the parking space, and be marked with
diagonal lines, which discourages parking in them.
3. Pavement Marking Detail
The City's current pavement marking standard for accessible parking spaces requires a
designated space to be hard surfaced and the entire space to be painted with non-slip paint in
bright blue, with the universal symbol of access overlaid in white or yellow paint.
It is recommended that the pavement marking for accessible parking spaces be modified so that it
consists of only the International Symbol of Accessibility painted in white or yellow paint overlaid
on a bright blue background with a white or yellow border, with a minimum size of 1.4 metres in
width and 1.4 metres in length.

Public Consultation was completed through a variety of methods to engage residents on
the proposed changes to the By-law
In response to Resolution #9/15, City staff completed a public consultation process on the
proposed accessible parking space requirements. The public consultation was completed by
performing the following tasks:
1. Provided detailed information on the proposed changes through a webpage on the City's
website with a survey (active from March 16, 2016 to May 15, 2016), and notified the public of
the website through:
• a News Release, completed on March 16, 2016
• community page ad (News Advertiser), posted on March 16, 2016
• the City's Facebook and Twitter accounts posted on March 16, 2016
The survey that was active on the City's website is provided in Attachment 3.
2. Engaged residents during the Active Living Fair at the East Shore Community Centre event for
adults over the age of 55 on March 31, 2016
3. Engaged residents at the Artfest & Your City events on May 30, 2016, allowing residents to fill
out an optional questionnaire if they wished to do so.
4. Speaking with residents about the proposed changes at other City events such as Canada
Day, Ribfest and the 32nd Annual Durham Regional Police Children's Games.
5. Continued communication in meetings with the Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee and
the City's Accessible Core Staff Committee regarding the consultation process.
6. Consulted with other municipalities within the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area
7. Consulted with the City's Municipal Law Enforcement and City Development staff
Feedback regarding the proposed changes to the By-law were generally positive with the
high majority of residents being in favour
Primarily, feedback through the public consultation process, with the majority of respondents
being in favour of the proposed changes. The main criticism received from the public with respect
to accessible parking spaces was the abuse of existing accessible parking spaces. In light of this,
Municipal Law Enforcement staff was advised of this concern.
Enforcement of accessible parking space use is one of the core functions of parking enforcement.
City of Pickering Parking Control Officers actively enforce accessible spaces on both city and
private property. In addition, private security officers licensed by the City to monitor parking
enforcement on private property sites, such as the Pickering Town Centre or private residential
condominiums conduct extensive enforcement of accessible parking spaces.

Amendment to Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 Page 4
The following amendments to the Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 are recommended as a
result of comments received through the public consultation process:
1. Add a provision for the Director, Engineering Services or a designate to temporarily designate
accessible parking spaces to create temporary accessible parking on any highway or City
maintained off-street parking facility, and have it enforceable by Municipal Law Enforcement
staff (Section 9 clause (f))
2. Modified provision so that the entire parking space does not have to be painted with a bright
blue background and rather only the International Symbol of Access has to be painted with the
symbol having a minimum size of 1.4 metres in width and 1.4 metres in length (Section 24,
Subsection 8, Clause (b)
3. Add a provision for the requirement of a minimum of 10 percent of the required parking spaces
for a medical office established after December 12, 2016 (Section 24, Subsection 5, clause
(b))
4. Add a provision for the City to designate accessible parking spaces that exceed the number
prescribed in the by-law, should the use on site necessitate additional spaces, and for those
extra spaces to be a size as approved by the City (Section 24, Subsection 5, clause (c))
5. Add a provision so that no person can park a vehicle that obstructs accessible access aisles
and accessible paths of travel in addition to an accessible parking space (Section 24,
Subsection 11)
6. Wording changes, including definitions, to bring the by-law into compliance with today's
standards (example: disabled person becomes person with a disability).
Therefore, based on feedback received through the public consultation process for accessible
parking spaces, City staff recommend the amendment to By-law 6604/05 with the modifications
summarized in this report. The draft by-law amendment is presented in Attachment 4.

Director, Engineering & Public Works
Subject: Review of Accessible Parking Space Requirements in the City of Pickering
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report ENG 01-15 of the Director, Engineering & Public Works regarding the
review of accessible parking space requirements in the City of Pickering, be
received;
2. That City Council authorize staff to initiate a public consultation process on the
proposed amendments to By-law 6604/05 regarding accessible parking space
requirements in the City of Pickering, as outlined in this report, including
consultation with the Accessibility Advisory Committee, business owners, and
other stakeholders; and
3. That following the receipt of comments, staff prepare a draft by-law with final
recommendations for Council's consideration.
Executive Summary: On March 25, 2013, the Accessible Advisory Committee
presented correspondence to City Council outlining their request to increase the
requirements for all accessible parking spaces within the City of Pickering to 15 percent
of the total available parking spaces. City Council passed Resolution #45/13 requesting
staff to review accessible parking space requirements in the City of Pickering to better
meet the needs of persons with a disability.
In response to the above noted resolution, City staff have undertaken a review of the
accessible parking requirements as part of an ongoing effort to ensure that all
accessible parking spaces in the City of Pickering are appropriately provided, marked
and maintained. Staff are proposing three amendments for public consultation and
input, respecting the total number of accessible parking spaces provided, the
dimension and design of accessible parking spaces, and the pavement marking
requirements for accessible parking spaces. The proposed amendments are consistent
with the requirements of The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act(AODA),
which was enacted by the Province in 2005.
Engineering & Public Works and City Development staff therefore recommend that
Council authorize staff to initiate public consultation on the proposed amendments
regarding the accessible parking space requirements in the City, including consultation

with the Accessibility Advisory Committee, business owners, and other stakeholders. At
the conclusion of the public consultation process, recommended amendments to the
Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 with respect to accessible parking spaces will be
prepared for City Council's consideration.
Financial Implications: The recommendations in this report do not present any
financial implications.
Discussion: At the March 25, 2013 Council meeting, the Accessibility
Advisory Committee presented Correspondence 10-13 (see Attachment#1) and
requested that By-law 6604/05, which regulates traffic and parking on highways, private
property and municipal properties in the city, be amended to increase the number of
required accessible parking spaces in the City of Pickering to 15 percent of the total
number of available parking spaces.
Pickering Council passed Resolution #45/13 (see Attachment#2) requesting that staff
review the accessible parking space requirements within the City, to better meet the
needs of persons with a disability.
In response to Resolution #45/13, staff have undertaken a review of the accessible
parking requirements as part of an ongoing effort to ensure that all accessible parking
spaces in the City of Pickering are appropriately provided, marked and maintained.
Based on staffs review, the following amendments are being proposed:
• increase the minimum number of off-street accessible parking spaces required on
public and private properties
• improve the pavement marking detail required for accessible parking spaces
• introduce two types of off-street accessible parking spaces
All suggested modifications to accessible parking space requirements contained within
this report are consistent with The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and
the Highway Traffic Act.
A City-wide adoption of 15 percent for accessible parking spaces is not
recommended
The correspondence submitted by the Accessibility Advisory Committee,
Correspondence 10-13 (see Attachment#1), recommended that the City increase its
by-law provision for accessible parking spaces to 15 percent of the total parking spaces
required. In support of this recommendation, the Committee cited Statistics Canada
CORP0227-07/01 revised ,

findings that 34.6 percent of the population report a disability, and that 14.5 percent of
those people report a disability associated with mobility impairment.
It should be noted, however, that the Statistics Canada findings do not support an
accessible parking standard of 15 percent. Instead, these findings suggest that
approximately 5.0 percent of the population (i.e. 14.5 percent of 34.6 percent) report a
disability associated with mobility impairment.
Furthermore, as of April 30, 2014, the Accessible Parking Permits Office of Service
Ontario reports that there are 4,108 accessible parking permits issued within the City,
representing approximately 4.5 percent of the City's population (based on an estimated
population of 91,333 persons).
The City has been implementing new parking requirements at municipal facilities
as required by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act
The accessible parking requirements for municipal facilities has recently been legislated
through the enactment of The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act(AODA).
The AODA is applicable to the Government of Ontario,the Legislative Assembly and
every designated public sector organization that provides goods and services or
facilities to the public or other third parties. The implementation of the Act respecting
accessible parking is being phased in for public sector organizations, such as the City of
Pickering, to commence on January 1, 2016, when building new or making major
changes to existing parking spaces.
The requirements for accessible parking according to the AODA are presented in detail
in Attachment#3. The AODA requirements, on average, double the existing
requirements for accessible parking in the City of Pickering.
Recent observations indicate that accessible parking spaces at City facilities are
well used
To determine if existing accessible parking spaces at City facilities are being well used,
staff completed observations at the Pickering Recreation Complex and the Pickering
Civic Complex between June and July 2014, in the morning, afternoon and evening
hours. Both of these facilities have accessible parking sections, which exceed what is
required in the AODA.
The Pickering Recreation Complex has 13 accessible parking spaces for the main
entrance fronting Valley Farm Road (AODA requires 7 accessible spaces). The
Pickering Civic Complex has 5 accessible spaces in the parking lot off of The
Esplanade South and 2 accessible spaces in the loop at the front of the Civic Complex
off of Glenanna Road for a total of 7 accessible spaces (AODA requires 6 accessible
spaces).

During the review of the accessible parking spaces at the Pickering Recreation
Complex, it was noted that they were well used, having an average of approximately 4
vehicles on-site at the times surveyed. However, spaces in the Civic Complex parking
lot off of The Esplanade South were not as well used, having only one vehicle using the
accessible spaces provided during the times surveyed. In contrast, the front loop at the
Civic Complex, is well utilized due to location and convenience. However, these spaces
are not used for long periods of time as most use it to quickly visit City Hall or to drop-
off/pick-up at the library.
A City-wide adoption of the minimum accessible parking space requirements as
presented in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act is recommended
Based on observations of accessible parking spaces at City facilities, the request for
additional accessible parking spaces by the Accessibility Advisory Committee, and the
increased accessibility demand, especially for medical office and related uses, staff
suggest that the minimum accessible parking space requirements based on the AODA
be adopted city-wide for all properties subject to the City's Traffic and Parking By-law.
As stated previously, the AODA requirements, approximately double the existing
requirements for accessible parking within the City of Pickering. The suggested
requirements for accessible parking according to the AODA are presented in detail in
Attachment#3.
Similar to the existing requirements, these parking requirements shall not apply to
residential developments consisting of less than 10 dwelling units and, for the purpose
of required accessible parking spaces for multi-unit residential developments consisting
of 10 or more dwelling units, the minimum accessible parking requirements shall only
apply to residential visitor parking.
Pavement marking for accessible parking spaces is recommended to consist only
of the International Symbol of Accessibility with a blue background
The City's current pavement marking standard for accessible parking spaces requires a
designated space to be hard surfaced and the entire space to be painted with non-slip
paint in bright blue, with the universal symbol of access overlaid in white or yellow paint.
A review of surrounding municipalities and current best practices indicate that painting
the entire parking space blue is not necessary to convey the message of an accessible
parking space. Painting the entire space.is also costly and if not painted periodically,
the paint will crack and fade.

Therefore, City staff recommend that the pavement marking for accessible parking
spaces be modified so that it consists of only the.International Symbol of Accessibility
painted in white or yellow paint overlaid on a bright blue background with a white or
yellow border, with a total minimum size of 1.4 metres in width and 1.4 metres in length.
Different types of accessible parking spaces are recommended
The City currently only allows for one type of accessible parking space, which must
have a minimum width of 4.0 metres, and a minimum length of 5.3.metres.
The AODA requires the establishment of two types of parking spaces for the use of
persons with disabilities, as follows:
•
• AODA Type 'A': parking space which has a minimum width of 3.4 metres forvehicles
that require space for the use of a wheelchair
• AODA Type 'B': parking space which has a minimum width of 2.4 metres for persons
with a disability that do not require the extra space for a wheelchair
Access aisles may be shared by two parking spaces for the use of persons with
disabilities in an off-street parking facility and, according to the AODA, must meet the
following requirements:
• a minimum width of 1.5 metres
• extend the full length of the parking space
• be marked with diagonal lines, which discourages parking in them, where the
surface is asphalt, concrete or some other hard surface
Staff recognize the benefit of having different types of accessible parking spaces as not
all persons with a disability will require a larger parking space intended for wheelchair
access. Staff support the use of Type 'A' and Type 'B' accessible parking 'spaces and
also propose an alternate Type 'A' Shared space to be used in the City.
Currently, the City's current minimum widths for both an accessible parking space and a
standard parking space exceed what is proposed for a Type 'A' and Type 'B' accessible
parking space width in the AODA. Therefore, it is proposed that the City retain the
existing widths and further proposes the following types of accessible parking spaces to
be used within the City.
• Pickering Type 'A': an accessible parking space that has a minimum width of 4.0
metres, which is equivalent to the City's existing standard (shown in Attachment#4).
No access aisle is required for a Type 'A' space

•
• Pickering Type 'A' Shared: two accessible parking spaces that have minimum widths
of 3.25 metres, and share an access aisle with a minimum width of 1.5 metres. This
design may be used in place of two Type 'A' spaces (shown in Attachment#5)
• Pickering Type 'B': an accessible parking space that has a minimum width of 2.6
metres, which is equivalent to the width of a standard parking space within the City
(shown in Attachment#6)
A length of 5.3 metres, equivalent to the current City standard, is recommended for all
accessible parking spaces.
The Type 'A', Type 'A' Shared with shared access aisles and Type 'B' accessible
parking spaces supported by City staff are to be used together with the proposed
suggestions in Attachment#3 for the total number of required accessible parking
spaces.
Staff request authorization to initiate public consultation on the draft
amendments
Engineering & Public Works and City Development staff recommend that Council
authorize staff to initiate public consultation on the proposed amendments to the
accessible parking space requirements in the City of Pickering as presented in this
report. Comments will be invited from the public, the Accessibility Advisory Committee,
business owners, and other stakeholders. Consultation would be completed by various
means including, but not limited to:
• City of Pickering website
• contacting business owners and community residents' associations through regular
mail
• posting at community centres and other City facilities
• newspaper ad
• open house
At the conclusion of the consultation process, recommended changes to the Traffic and
Parking By-law 6604/05 with respect to accessible parking spaces will be prepared for
City Council's consideration.

accessible spaces provided during the times surveyed. In contrast, the front loop at the
Civic Complex, is well utilized due to location and convenience. However, these spaces
are not used for long periods of time as most use it to quickly visit City Hall or to drop-
off/pick-up at the library.
A City-wide adoption of the minimum accessible parking space requirements as
presented in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act is recommended
Based on observations of accessible parking spaces at City facilities, the request for
additional accessible parking spaces by the Accessibility Advisory Committee, and the
increased accessibility demand, especially for medical office and related uses, staff
suggest that the minimum accessible parking space requirements based on the AODA
be adopted city-wide for all properties subject to the City's Traffic and Parking By-law.
As stated previously, the.AODA requirements, approximately double the existing
requirements for accessible parking within the City of Pickering. The suggested
requirements for accessible parking according to the AODA are presented in detail in
Attachment#3.
Similar to the existing requirements, these parking requirements shall not apply to
residential developments consisting of less than 10 dwelling units and, for the purpose
of required accessible parking spaces for multi-unit residential developments consisting
of 10 or more dwelling units, the minimum accessible parking requirements shall only
apply to residential visitor parking.
Pavement marking for accessible parking spaces is recommended to consist only
of the International Symbol of Accessibility with a blue background
The City's current pavement marking standard for accessible parking spaces requires a
designated space to be hard surfaced and the entire space to be painted with non-slip
paint in bright blue, with the universal symbol of access overlaid in white or yellow paint.
A review of surrounding municipalities and current best practices indicate that painting
the entire parking space blue is not necessary to convey the message of an accessible
parking space. Painting the entire space_is also costly and if not painted periodically,
the paint will crack and fade.

Therefore, City staff recommend that the pavement marking for accessible parking
spaces be modified so that it consists of only the.International Symbol of Accessibility -
painted in white or yellow paint overlaid on a bright blue background with a white or
yellow border, with a total minimum size of 1.4 metres in width and 1.4 metres in length.
Different types of accessible parking spaces are recommended
The City currently only allows for one type of accessible parking space, which must
have a minimum width of 4.0 metres, and a minimum length of 5.3.metres.
The AODA requires the establishment of two types of parking spaces for the use of
persons with disabilities, as follows:
•
• AODA Type 'A': parking space which has a minimum width of 3.4 metres forvehicles
that require space for the use of a wheelchair
• AODA Type 'B': parking space which has a minimum width of 2.4 metres for persons
with a disability that do not require the extra space for a wheelchair
Access aisles may be shared by two parking spaces for the use of persons with
disabilities in an off-street parking facility and, according to the AODA, must meet the
following requirements:
• a minimum width of 1.5 metres
• extend the full length of the parking space
• be marked with diagonal lines, which discourages parking in them, where the
surface is asphalt, concrete or some other hard surface
Staff recognize the benefit of having different types of accessible parking spaces as not
all persons with a disability will require a larger parking space intended for wheelchair
access. Staff support the use of Type 'A' and Type 'B' accessible parking 'spaces and
also propose an alternate Type 'A' Shared space to be used in the City.
Currently, the City's current minimum widths for both an accessible parking space and a
standard parking space exceed what is proposed for a Type 'A' and Type 'B' accessible
parking space width in the AODA. Therefore, it is proposed that the City retain the
existing widths and further proposes the following types of accessible parking spaces to
be used within the City.
• Pickering Type 'A': an accessible parking space that has a minimum width of 4.0
metres, which is equivalent to the City's existing standard (shown in Attachment#4).
No access aisle is required for a Type 'A' space

• Pickering Type 'A' Shared: two accessible parking spaces that have minimum widths
of 3.25 metres, and share an access aisle with a minimum width of 1.5 metres. This
design may be used in place of two Type 'A' spaces (shown in Attachment#5)
• Pickering Type 'B': an accessible parking space that has a minimum width of 2.6
metres, which is equivalent to the width of a standard parking space within the City
(shown in Attachment#6)
A length of 5.3 metres, equivalent to the current City standard, is recommended for all
accessible parking spaces.
The Type 'A', Type 'A' Shared with shared access aisles and Type 'B' accessible
parking spaces supported by City staff are to be used together with the proposed
suggestions in Attachment#3 for the total number of required accessible parking
spaces.
• Staff request authorization to initiate public consultation on the draft
amendments
Engineering & Public Works and City Development staff recommend that Council
authorize staff to initiate public consultation on the proposed amendments to the
accessible parking space requirements in the City of Pickering as presented in this
report. Comments will be invited from the public, the Accessibility Advisory Committee,
business owners, and other stakeholders. Consultation would be completed by various
means including, but not limited to:
• City of Pickering website
• contacting business owners and community residents' associations through regular
mail
• posting at community centres and other City facilities
• newspaper ad
• open house
At the conclusion of the consultation process, recommended changes to the Traffic and
Parking By-law 6604/05 with respect to accessible parking spaces will be prepared for
City Council's consideration. •

Accessible Parking Questionnaire
1. Effective Dates
The Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) of the Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act (AODA) requires businesses to comply with its accessible parking requirements
by 2017 for large organizations and 2018 for small organizations. Compliance is required for
new developments and existing developments that are undergoing major renovations. Should
our Parking By-law require/encourage an earlier adoption of these standards from the City's
local businesses?
2. Location of Accessible Parking Spaces
Accessible parking spaces can be grouped together or dispersed throughout a parking lot. Do
you have any advice on the location of these parking spaces that would enhance overall
accessibility, safety, convenience or efficiency?
3. Location of Curbs, Curb Cuts, and Access Ramps, Relative to Accessible Parking
Spaces -
The location of curbs, curb cuts, and access ramps, relative to accessible parking spaces can
enhance or detract from overall accessibility, safety, convenience, or efficiency. Are there any
location considerations for these elements that you feel should be addressed by the new
Pickering Parking By-Law or City policy?
ATTACHMENT# I TO REPORT#. ) 20-/So
._, •of
4. Temporary Accessible Parking
The City of Pickering hosts a number of special events each year that require additional
temporary accessible parking spaces (e.g. Canada Day and Ribfest). Are there any specific
parking considerations that would make these events more accessible for those with
disabilities?
5. Number of Accessible Parking Spaces
The minimum required number of accessible parking spaces has been legislated through the
enactment of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and will apply to new
developments and existing developments that are undergoing major renovations. Should the
City consider an increased number of accessible parking spaces for developments where there
may be additional demand, e.g. medical offices?
6. Legitimate Use of Accessible Parking Spaces
Accessible parking spaces are intended to accommodate accessibility for persons with
disabilities. Are there any considerations that should be reflected in our Parking By-law to
ensure the appropriate use of accessible parking spaces, or that address qualification or
enforcement procedures?
7. Signage and Visibility of Accessible Parking Spaces
Appropriate signage and design can enhance the visibility of accessible parking spaces. For
example, snow accumulation may hide ground markings. Are there any specific considerations
with respect to signage and visibility of accessible parking spaces that should be reflected in the
new Pickering Parking By-Law?
•
8. Other Comments
Do you have any further comments regarding the development and implementation of the new
Pickering Parking By-Law, particularly with respect to accessibility?
