That Report OES 13-08 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, poor sightlines and driveway access difficulties due to vehicular on street school bus parking on Sunrise Avenue, 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. Report OES 13-08 May 12, 2008 Subject: No Parking By-law, Sunrise Avenue Page 2 Background: In October of 2007, MP&E staff were asked via the corporate Customer Care Centre to respond to traffic operational concerns from a resident on Sunrise Avenue. Specifically, municipal staff were requested to investigate and implement No Parking restrictions along the south side of Sunrise Avenue (as shown on the attached sketch) as a means of addressing difficulties caused by on street parking. Specifically school buses destined for the Frenchman's Bay Public School were using the south side of Sunrise Avenue as a temporary staging area in the afternoons prior to student pickup. As the portion of Sunrise Avenue from West Shore Boulevard to Chipmunk Street has a slightly narrower pavement width, the resident noted driveway access difficulties. A municipal community consultation notice was issued on November 12, 2007. The notice generated a singular reply noting ambivalence to on street parking controls. Given the lack of community direction, City staff contacted the 6 affected residents individually all of whom noted support for the controls as proposed. Consequently, staff in recognition of the community support recommend that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect No Parking on the south side of Sunrise Avenue from West Shore Boulevard to Chipmunk Street (see sketch attached). The corresponding draft By-law amendment is attached. Attachments: 1. Parking scheme diagram 2.
