Executive Summary: In accordance with Section 238 (2) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O
2001, c.25, every municipality shall pass a procedure by-law for governing the calling, place and
proceedings of meetings and the procedure by-law shall provide for public notice of meetings.
To comply with the provisions of the Municipal Act and Procedure By-law 7665/18, as amended,
the 2021 Committee and Council Meeting Schedule is presented to Council for approval.
Financial Implications: There are no financial implications associated with this Report or the
adoption of the 2021 Meeting Schedule.
Discussion: In the spirt of openness, transparency and accountability, the adoption
and posting of the annual Committee and Council Schedule is an important exercise to ensure as
much advance notice is provided to the public for upcoming Committee and Council Meetings.
Section 04.02 of the Procedure By-law provides for all regular meetings of Council to be held on
the fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 pm and if a Council Meeting falls on a public or civic
holiday, the Council shall meet at the same hour on the next following day, which is not a public or
civic holiday, unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Council.
Section 04.05 states the Executive Committee shall meet on the first Monday of each month at
2:00 pm and the Planning & Development Committee shall meet on the first Monday of each
month at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers, unless otherwise provided by reso lution of the
Council.
Every effort has been made to adhere to the above noted provisions of the Procedure By-law and
any variances or adjustments are due to statutory holidays and/or significant events or dates.

CLK 03-20 October 5, 2020
Subject: 2021 Committee and Council Meeting Schedule Page 2
In addition to regular Committee and Council meetings, and in coordination with Community
Services Staff, a date has been included for the annual Civic Awards Ceremony being May 10,
2021. This date is tentative with the understanding that the ability to hold the event is dependent
on the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic and the ability to have members of
the public physically attend City Hall. Statutory holidays have also been included on the Meeting
Schedule for ease of reference.
At the request of the Director, Finance & Treasurer, 2 dates have been included on the Meeting
Schedule for the Executive Committee Budget Meeting dates. The new Financial SAP program is
slated to launch in January 2021 which would provide for the April 15th and 16th Budget Meeting
dates. Should the Financial System be delayed, Budget Meeting dates would be scheduled for
February 11 and 12, 2020. The Treasurer has also stated that with the ongoing uncertainty
surrounding COVID-19, it may be more advantageous to schedule the Budget Meetings for April
due to the uncertainty of COVID 19 and its related financial challenges. Historically, the Federal
Budget is presented in late February with the Provincial Budget following several weeks later.
Sometimes, there is an advantage of knowing the two senior level governments’ fiscal plans and
strategies as it relates to the development of the local municipal budget. It is requested that
Council adopt the Schedule as presented with the understanding that Staff will remove one of the
Budget Meeting dates as needed based on the status of the scenarios noted above.
Once approved by Council, the Meeting Schedule dates will be posted on the City’s Event
Calendar and circulated to Members of Council and Staff in accordance with Standard Operating
Procedures.

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: ENG 10-20
Date: October 5, 2020
From: Richard Holborn
Director, Engineering Services
Subject: Amendment to Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05
- Braeburn Crescent, Annland Street, Paddock Road
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule “2”, No Parking, and Schedule
“9”, Speed Limits, to By-law 6604/05 to provide for the regulation of parking and speed on
highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of The Corporation of the City of
Pickering. The amendment specifically provides for the inclusion of parking restrictions on
curves on Braeburn Crescent and on Annland Street, and to reduce the speed limit on
Paddock Road from 50 km/h to 40 km/h; and,
2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: In response to concerns from area residents, and to promote traffic
safety, Engineering Services staff are proposing the following m odifications to Traffic and Parking
By-law 6604/05.
a) The curve on Braeburn Crescent is difficult to navigate when vehicles are parked on both sides
of the road. Within the limits of the curve, there is also a pathway that comes out of the park
onto Braeburn Crescent to provide access to the park from the road. Currently, temporary
parking restrictions are placed around the curve. After review, it is recommended that parking
should be restricted at all times on both sides of the curve to improve vehicle flow, and improve
sightlines for patrons entering and exiting the park.
b) The curve on Annland Street where it meets Front Road is difficult to navigate when vehicles
are parked along the inner curve due to its geometry and being on a hill. Currently, parking
restrictions are present along the outer curve. After review, it is recommended that the
temporary parking restrictions that were placed along the inner curve during the summer
months be made permanent to restrict parking at all times to improve vehicle flow, and
sightlines for all users of the road.
c) Resident concerns were received by Engineering Services staff with respect to the speed of
vehicles on Paddock Road. Engineering Services staff investigated the speeding concern and
recommends a reduction of the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on both the north and
south sections of Paddock Road, based on frequent pedestrian and cyclist use due to it being
part of the Trans Canada Trail, the lack of sidewalks, and the presence of hills in some
sections along the road. - 4 -

Financial Implications: The installation of all posts and signs can be accommodated within the
Roads Current Budget.
Discussion: In response to concerns from area residents, and to promote traffic
safety, Engineering Services staff are proposing the following modifications to Traffic and Parking
By-law 6604/05.
Parking Restrictions are Proposed on Braeburn Crescent at Amberlea Park
Concerns from area residents were received by Engineering Services with respect to parking on
the curve on Braeburn Crescent by Amberlea Park. The main concern is that the road is difficult to
navigate when vehicles are parked on both sides of the curve in the vicinity of the park. At this
location, there is also a pathway that comes out of the park onto Braeburn Crescent, and it is in
the vicinity of the splashpad, making it a more popular location for patrons to park.
Engineering Services staff investigated this concern and determined that parking should be
restricted at all times on both sides of the curve to improve vehicle flow, and improve sightlines for
patrons entering and exiting the park. As a result, temporary parking restrictions on both sides of
the curve were placed this summer. These temporary parking restrictions are recommended to be
made permanent.
The proposed parking restrictions on Braeburn Crescent are shown graphically in Attachment 1.
The draft by-law amendment to Schedule “2”, No Parking, is presented in Attachment 4.
Parking Restrictions are Proposed on Annland Street along the inner curve at Progress
Frenchman’s Bay East Park
Due to congestion and parking concerns in the summer months at Beachfront Park and
Millennium Square, and at Progress Frenchman’s Bay East Park, temporary parking restrictions
were installed along the inner curve at Annland Street where it meets Front Road. There are
already permanent parking restrictions along the outer curve at this location.
The temporary parking restrictions along the inner curve were installed after motorists were found
parking along the curve and blocking part of the travelled lane. The curve on Annland Street
where it meets Front Road is difficult to navigate when vehicles are park ed along the inner curve
due to it being on a hill, which restricts sightlines.
It is recommended by Engineering Services staff that the temporary parking restrictions that were
placed over the summer months on the inner curve be made permanent to restrict parking at all
times.
The proposed parking restrictions on Annland Street are shown graphically in Attachment 2. The
draft by-law amendment to Schedule “2”, No Parking, is presented in Attachment 4.

Subject: Amendment to Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 Page 3
Reducing the Posted Speed Limit on Paddock Road from 50 km/h to 40 km/h is
Recommended
Resident concerns were received by Engineering Services staff with respect to the spee d of
vehicles on Paddock Road.
Before the Highway 407 East extension, Paddock Road was a continuous road from Highway 7 to
Seventh Concession Road. W ith the extension of Highway 407 East, Paddock Road is no longer a
continuous road and is divided into two sections by the highway, with a pedestrian trail connection
under the Highway 407 East bridge. The north section is from Seventh Concession Road to just
north of Highway 407 East, and the south section is from Highway 7 to just south of Highway 407
East. This has eliminated vehicular through traffic and has reduced traffic volumes, making both
sections of Paddock Road more attractive for pedestrians and cyclists to use.
Engineering Services staff investigated the speeding concern and recommends a reduction of the
speed limit on both the north and south sections of Paddock Road from 50 km/h to 40 km/h based
on the following information:
Paddock Road is part of the Trans Canada Trail and is regularly used by pedestrians and
cyclists of all ages. Pedestrians and cyclists on Paddock Road can travel underneath the
Highway 407 East bridge using the trail connection that was provided as part of the highway
construction.
Paddock Road is mostly residential with a few businesses that operate on the northern section
of Paddock Road.
There are no sidewalks on Paddock Road and users of the street must walk/cycle on the road.
Paddock Road has hills in some spots that make it difficult for motorists to see pedestrians
using the road.
There are a number of larger trucks that travel from businesses that operate on the northern
section of Paddock Road.
The draft by-law amendment to Schedule “9”, Speed Limits for the reduction in the speed limit on
Paddock Road from 50 km/h to 40 km/h, is presented in Attachment 4.
