Subject: No Parking By-law, Sandstone Manor - Amendment to By-law 6604/05 - File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1. That Report CS 23-12 of the Director, Community Services regarding the installation of No Parking Zones on Sandstone Manor, and a proposed amendment to the municipal traffic and parking by-law 6604/05 be received; and 2. Further 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, specifically to address parking concerns on Sandstone Manor. Executive Summary: In November and December 2011, Municipal Law Enforcement Services and Engineering Services staff received concerns related to large vehicle access and restricted traffic flow on Sandstone Manor caused by on-street parking. Observations by City staff verified access difficulties on the roadway and at the driveways for vehicles and large trucks when parking occurs on the east side of the roadway, and too close to the driveways on the west side of the roadway. Recognizing these concerns, in December 2011, temporary parking restrictions were placed along the full length of the east side of Sandstone Manor and on the west side of Sandstone Manor at the driveways. There have been no issues or complaints since the temporary parking restrictions have been in place. It is recommended that the existing temporary parking restrictions be replaced with permanent parking restrictions. Financial Implications: The addition of No Parking signs and posts can be accommodated within the Roads current budget. Report CS 23-12 June 11, 2012 Subject: No Parking By-law, Sandstone Manor 1 3 6 Amendment to By-law 6604/05 Page 2 Discussion: In November and December 2011, Municipal Law Enforcement Services and Engineering Services staff received concerns related to large vehicle access and restricted traffic flow on Sandstone Manor caused by on-street parking. Sandstone Manor is a no-exit street and can only be accessed by Granite Court. Commercial and private businesses have access from Sandstone Manor to their parking lots and loading bays. The concerns received were from employees of these businesses. There are no residential homes on Sandstone Manor. City staff investigated these concerns in December 2011, and found through observations that most motorists park on the west side of Sandstone Manor leaving the east side open, however, it was also observed that parking on the east side did occur. When this happened, large tractor trailer trucks that use the roadway for pick-ups and deliveries cannot pass through, and two-way traffic flow is restricted to one lane. Also, it was found that large trucks have difficulty accessing the driveways on the west side of the roadway when vehicles are parked too close to the driveways. Recognizing the need to resolve these issues, in December 2011, staff placed temporary parking restrictions along the entire east side of the roadway, and on the west side of the roadway at the driveways. The temporary parking restrictions have since been in place. There have been no issues or complaints since the temporary parking restrictions have been in place. To resolve the parking and traffic flow issues, staff recommends the existing temporary parking restrictions be replaced with permanent restrictions along the full length of the east side of Sandstone Manor and on the west side of Sandstone Manor at the driveways. The proposed recommendations can be found graphically in the attached sketch (Attachment #1). The draft by-law amendment to Schedule 2 of by-law 6604/05 for the proposed No Parking restrictions on Sandstone Manor is attached (Attachment #2). Attachments 1.
