From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
No Parking By-law, Wildwood Crescent,
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 03-08 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services
regarding a proposed amendment to the municipal traffic by-law 6604/05 be
received; and
2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "2" to By-law
6604/05 to provide for the regulation of parking 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 response to concerns with roadway traffic flow difficulties
and poor sightlines due to vehicular on street parking at one of the bends along
Wildwood Crescent, the City was asked to implement No Parking restrictions in order to
ensure a clear travel path and unobstructed visibility. Having completed the review,
staff support the request and hereby propose to amend the existing municipal traffic by-
law as per the changes attached.
Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no parking signs is
estimated to cost approximately $300. and can be accommodated within the Roads
current budget account 2320.2409.
Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to and the recommendations
as generated by staff address traffic safety issues within the Corporate Healthy society
objectives.

Background: In November of 2007, MP&E staff were asked via the
corporate Customer Care Centre to respond to traffic operational concerns from a
resident on Wildwood Crescent. Specifically, municipal staff were requested to
investigate and implement No Parking restrictions along the north and west side of the
bend on Wildwood Crescent (as shown on the attached sketch) as a means of
addressing difficulties caused by on street parking and the potential hazard of having to
encounter oncoming traffic while endeavoring to avoid parked cars along the sharp
curve.
Community consultation notices were issued to affected area residents on November
26, 2007. The notice provided to the 25 area residents generated 4 replies (a 16%
community response), 3 in support of and 1 in opposition to the controls as proposed.
Of note, staff are preparing a separate report to Council that will propose an
amendment to the general provisions, parking section of the municipal traffic by-law.
The change, as requested by the Municipal By-law Enforcement staff, would implement
no parking restrictions within 3.0m of a community supermailbox similar to that adjacent
to a fire hydrant. As a supermailbox is located within the affected area on Wildwood
Crescent, on street parking would be prohibited if the change is enacted later this year.
Consequently, staff (in recognition of the community support) recommend that the
municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect No Parking along on the north
and west side of Wildwood Crescent through the bend (see sketch attached). The
corresponding draft By-law amendments are attached.
