From:

Division Head, Municipal Property and Engineering
Subject:
No Parking By-law
- Amendment to By-law 2359/87
File: Balaton Avenue
Recommendations:
1.
That Report OES 15-04 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 Schedule "B' to By-law
2159/87 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
Balaton Avenue 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-laws, once adopted, must be enforced on a regular basis to be effective.
Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of parking signs, costing
approximately $800 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 Balaton Avenue. In order to improve the level of
safety on Balaton Avenue, an amending by-law is being proposed, which if passed, will
prohibit on-street parking on north and west side of Balaton Avenue from 103 m west of
Fanshaw Place to 167 m west of Fanshaw Place and on south and east sides from 44
m west of Kingfisher Drive to 98 m west of Kinsgfisher Drive. The current by-law
restricts parking on west side of Balaton Avenue from Colmar Avenue to Shearer Lane
and restricts standing of vehicles on the north side from 32 m west of Fanshaw Place to
168 m east of Fanshaw Place.
