Report OES 02-07 January 22, 2007 Subject: No Stopping By-law, Liverpool Road & Sandy Beach Road Page 2 0-14 Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to staff and the recommendations generated by staff are relevant to the social lens of sustainability by addressing traffic operations and aging populace issues. Background: In response to concerns with driveway access and roadway traffic flow difficulties due to vehicular on street parking and stopping along: a) the west side of Liverpool Road south of Bayly Street (fronting the Tim Hortons Restaurant), and b) the west side of Sandy Beach Road south of Bayly Street (fronting the commercial plaza) By-law staff were asked to enforce the existing No Parking restrictions in the area. However, although municipal staff can enforce the current by-law, some drivers may not understand that the legal definition of No Parking includes no stopping of vehicles save and except when engaged in the pick up and discharge of passengers or goods. Consequently, in order to provide a clear indication to drivers that stopping is prohibited in the affected area, staff hereby propose to amend the existing traffic by-law from No Parking to No Stopping, for the distance of the affected commercial frontages. Note: during the investigation, staff found that the existing No Parking signs on the west side of Sandy Beach Road, south of Bayly Street did not have corresponding by-law endorsement, consequently the proposed recommendations would correct this deficiency.
