REPORT TO THE
FINANCE & OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Report Number: OES 26-03
Date: May 9, 2003
From:
Richard W. Holborn, P. Eng
Division Head, Municipal Property & Engineering
Subject:
- Amendment to By-law 2359/87, Parking
File: Wildwood Crescent, Liverpool Road, Vistula Drive, and Annland
Street
Recommendations:
1.
That Report OES 26-03 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking by-law
#2359/87 be received; and
2.
That the attached draft by-laws be enacted to amend Schedule 'B' to By-law
2359/87 to provide for the regulating of parking, standing, and stopping 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 order to improve visibility, traffic flow and safety on
Wildwood Crescent, Liverpool Road, Vistula Drive, and Annland Street, an amending
by-law is being proposed, which prohibits on-street parking along specific sections of
each street. A Community Outreach Letter and Map were distributed to residents that
were affected by the amending by-law. Results indicate that the public support these
proposed no-parking restrictions. The attached by-laws, once adopted, must be
enforced on a regular basis to be effective.
Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of parking signs, costing
approximately $2,000.00 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget
account 2320-2409.
Background:
Wildwood Crescent
On many occasions, vehicles have been observed parking on specific corners of
Wildwood Crescent in such a manner to create unsafe conditions, visibility problems
and potential collisions. The proposed parking by-law would be beneficial to improve
visibility on corners and reduce the possibility of vehicular, pedestrian or cyclist
collisions on Wildwood Crescent.

As a recommended practice, a Community Outreach program has been initiated to
inform affected residents of a proposed by-law. The residents have the opportunity to
support or oppose the by-law by completing the letter request form. Four (4) letters
were distributed and three (3) were returned from residents of Wildwood Crescent.
Results of the survey were three (3) in support and one (1) not returned. Comments
received were positive and in support of the proposed no-parking by-law on Wildwood
Crescent.
As a means to better regulate on-street parking, it is recommended that the attached
draft by-law be approved. The by-law, as proposed, will effectively prohibit parking
along the east side of Wildwood Crescent between 104 meters southwest of Major
Oaks Drive to 143 meters southwest of Major Oaks Drive, and 87 meters east of
Wildwood Crescent to 118 meters south of Wildwood Crescent, and 218 meters
southeast of Wildwood Crescent to 245 meters east of Wildwood Crescent, and 308
meters east of Wildwood Crescent to 398 meters northeast of Wildwood Crescent. If
approved, these by-laws must received regular enforcement to be effective.
Liverpool Road
Recently staff investigated neighbourhood concerns about the presence of on-street
parking along Liverpool Road north of Bushmill Street/Linwood Street to the south limit
of the Hydro Corridor. In order to improve the level of safety on Liverpool Road, an
amending by-law is being proposed, which if passed, will prohibit on-street parking on
the east side of Liverpool Road, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, September
1st to June 30th. The current by-law restricts parking during the hours of 8:00 - 9:00
a.m. and 3:00 - 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, being the terms of school starts/ends, but
does not properly reflect the months that school is in session.
As a recommended practice, a Community Outreach program has been initiated to
inform affected residents of a proposed by-law. The residents have the opportunity to
support or oppose the by-law by completing the letter request form. Five (5) letters were
distributed and four (4) were returned from residents on Liverpool Road. Results of the
survey were two (2) in support and two (2) opposing the proposed by-law. Although the
survey split is half in support and half opposes the proposed by-law change, amending
the monthly prohibition would be beneficial to the neighbourhood community by
improving the level of safety and would be similar to reflect the present school by-law
restrictions across the City. If approved, these by-laws must received regular
enforcement to be effective.
Vistula Drive
Recently staff investigated neighbourhood concerns about the presence of on-street
parking along Vistula Drive east of West Shore Boulevard. In response to these
concerns, observations have confirmed that on-street parking creates sightline visibility
problems, which may affect the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians at the
intersection of Vistula Drive at West Shore Boulevard.
As a recommended practice, a Community Outreach program has been initiated to
inform affected residents of a proposed by-law. The residents have the opportunity to
Report OES 26-03

Page 3
support or oppose the by-law by completing the letter request form. Two (2) letters were
distributed and two (2) were returned from residents on Vistula Drive. Comments
received were positive and support the proposed no-parking by-law on Vistula Drive. In
order to improve the level of safety on Vistula Drive, an amending by-law is being
proposed, which if passed, will prohibit on-street parking on the north and south sides
of Vistula Drive, 20 meters east of West Shore Boulevard. If approved, these by-laws
must receive regular enforcement to be effective.
Annland Street
In response to a request from the Ajax/Pickering Transit Authority (APTA), Municipal
By-law Enforcement Staff recently investigated and evaluated transit operations on
Annland Street. Site visits from Municipal Property and Engineering Staff confirm that
transit vehicles are experiencing difficulty traveling along Annland Street when vehicles
are parked on the west and north sides of the street south of Broadview Street. Annland
Street is classified as an urban collector roadway with a pavement width of 8.5 meters,
provides transit services, and carries an annual average daily traffic volume of
approximately 400 vehicles.
Currently, parking prohibitions on Annland Street provide no-parking on the east and
south side of Annland Street from Krosno Boulevard to a point 230 meters east of
Liverpool Road and on the north side of Annland Street from Liverpool Road to a point
200 meters east of Liverpool Road. The by-law amendment, as proposed, will prohibit
parking along the north and west side of Annland Street from Broadview Street to a
point 200 meters east of Liverpool Road. Prohibiting on-street parking in the
aforementioned area will improve sightlines, not only for transit vehicles, but also for
neighbourhood traffic.
As a recommended practice, a Community Outreach program has been initiated to
inform affected residents of a proposed by-law. The residents have the opportunity to
support or oppose the by-law by completing the letter request form. Eight (8) letters
distributed and seven (7) were returned from residents of Annland Street. Results of the
request were as follows: five (5) in support and two (2) opposed of the by-law. Based on
these results, the no-parking by-law on Annland Street was well received and supported
by the public. If approved, these by-laws must received regular enforcement to be
effective.
It should be noted that as of January 1, 2003, all new municipal traffic movement
by-laws are not required to be submitted to the Regional Council for approval
since the new Municipal Act for the Province of Ontario Regulation 239/02 has
came into effect.
