Holborn Division Head Municipal Property & Engineering Subject: No-Parking By-Law - Amendment to By-law 2359/87 - File: Walnut Lane Recommendations: 1. That Report OES 41-03 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking By-law 2359/87 be received; and 2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule 'B' to By-law 2359/87 to provide for the regulating of parking, standing, and stopping on highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering and on private and municipal property. Executive Summary: In order to improve visibility, traffic flow and safety on Walnut Lane between Kingston Road and Storrington Street an amending by-law is being proposed, which prohibits on-street parking along specific sections of the street. A Community Outreach Letter and Map were distributed to residents that were affected by the amending by-law. Results indicate that the public support these proposed no- parking restrictions. The attached by-law, once adopted, must be enforced on a regular basis to be effective. Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of parking signs, costing approximately $400 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account 2320-2409. Background: Recently staff investigated neighbourhood concerns about the presence of on-street parking along Walnut Lane. In order to improve the level of safety on Walnut Lane, an amending by-law is being proposed, which if passed, will prohibit on-street parking on both sides of Walnut Lane between Kingston Road and Storrington Street. The current by-law restricts parking on west side of the street only. 78 Report OES 41-03 Subject: No-Parking By-Law Amendment to By-law 2359/87 Date: October 22, 2003 Page 2 As a recommended practice, a Community Outreach program has been initiated to inform affected residents of a proposed by-law.
