That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "2", No Parking, to By-law 6604/05 to provide for the regulation of stopping and parking on highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of The Corporation of the City of Pickering, specifically to address parking restrictions on the north and west sides of Wildwood Crescent near Major Oaks Park. 2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: Residents on Wildwood Crescent requested that City staff investigate implementing on-street parking restrictions on Wildwood Crescent citing concerns with vehicle access to the road when there are events at Major Oaks Park during the summer months, resulting in vehicles parking on both sides of the road. In response to concerns by area residents regarding on-street parking, and based on the results of the City's community consultation with area residents, it is recommended that Schedule "2", No Parking, to By-law 6604/05 be amended to implement parking restrictions on the north and west sides of Wildwood Crescent from Major Oaks Road to 135 metres west thereof. The recommended restrictions would be annually from May 1 to September 30, Monday to Friday, 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, holidays excluded. Financial Implications: The installation of No Parking signs and posts on Wildwood Crescent can be accommodated within the Roads Current Budget. Discussion: Residents on Wildwood Crescent have requested that City staff investigate implementing on-street parking restrictions on one side of Wildwood Crescent near Major Oaks Park. Residents expressed concerns with vehicle access to the road when there are events at Major Oaks Park during the summer months, resulting in vehicles parking on both sides of the road. ENG 14-17 June 5, 2017 Subject: Amendment to Traffic & Parking By-law 6604/05 Proposed Parking Restrictions, Wildwood Crescent Page 2 In response to these concerns, Engineering Services staff from the City of Pickering distributed a letter, dated November 14, 2016, seeking comments from residents on Wildwood Crescent with respect to restricting parking on the north and west sides of the road annually from May 1 to September 30. The November 16, 2016 letter was sent to 31 households and asked area residents to indicate their support or opposition to the potential installation of parking restrictions on the north and west sides of the road annually from May 1 to September 30. Engineering Services staff at the City of Pickering received 11 replies to the letter, with 7 (64%) in full support, 2 (18%) in support but with concerns regarding the restrictions proposed, and 2 (18%) opposed to the installation of on-street parking restrictions on the north and west sides of Wildwood Crescent annually from May 1 to September 30. Two respondents were concerned that visitor parking would be affected on the roadway during the summer months. Suggestions were offered including allowing permit parking only on the roadway, adding specific times to the restrictions, alternating between the west and the east sides of the road every two to four weeks, and restricting both sides of the road. Recognizing these concerns, and to minimize any inconvenience to the residents of Wildwood Crescent and users of the park, it is recommended further that parking restrictions be implemented on the north and west sides of Wildwood Crescent from May 1 to September 30 with the parking restrictions being only from Monday to Friday, 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, holidays excluded. Therefore, based on all factors considered, staff recommend parking restrictions be implemented on the north and west sides of Wildwood Crescent from Major Oaks Road to 135 metres west thereof annually from May 1 to September 30, Monday to Friday, 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, holidays excluded. The proposed parking restrictions on Wildwood Crescent are illustrated in Attachment 1. The draft by-law for the proposed parking restrictions on Wildwood Crescent is provided in Attachment 2.
