REPORT TO COUNCIL

Report Number: OES 07-04
Date: January 22, 2004
From:
Richard W.Holborn, P.Eng.
Division Head, Municipal Property & Engineering
Subject:
No Parking By-law
- Amendment to By-law 2359/87
File: Garvolin Avenue
Recommendations:
1.
That Report OES 07-04 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking by-law
2359/87 be received; and
2.
That the attached draft by-laws be enacted to amend Schedules 'A', and '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 traffic flow and safety on Garvolin
Avenue fronting Bayview Heights Public School an amending by-law is being proposed,
which prohibits stopping and on-street parking along specific sections of the street.
Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of signs, costing
approximately $1000 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account
2320-2409.
Background: In response to several inquiries, Municipal Property & Engineering
staff investigated and evaluated traffic movement operations on Garvolin Avenue
fronting Bayview Heights Public School. Site visits with the Principal and representative
from the school community council confirmed that there is a high level of unsafe traffic
and pedestrian crossing movements resulting from the high volumes of parent vehicle
traffic using the street during the morning and afternoon periods. The school addressed
these problems with the City and Durham Regional Police, and we suggested the 'Kiss
and Ride' program to the school administration. Bayview Heights Public School
implemented the 'Kiss and Ride' program in January 2004.

Subject: Parking By-law Amendment

To increase safety fronting Bayview Heights Public School and to protect sightlines
associated with vehicular and pedestrian movements, the proposed by-law amendment
is required. Currently a "no parking" by-law on the north side of Garvolin Avenue from
Krosno Boulevard to Modlin Road and a "no stopping" by-law on the south side of
Garvolin Avenue from 25m west of Krosno Boulevard to 125m west of Krosno
Boulevard, Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m.-4:30p.m, exist. However, to improve the
visibility of the roadways and increase sightlines for vehicles entering and exiting the
school property, a longer "no stopping" zone is required on both sides of the street. The
by-law amendment will prohibit "stopping" on the south side of Garvolin Avenue from
Krosno Boulevard to 178m west of Krosno Boulevard, Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. -
4:30 p.m. and on the north side from Krosono Boulevard to 172m west of Krosno
Boulevard, 24 hours a day.
If approved these by laws must receive regular enforcement to be effective.
