Holborn Division Head Municipal Property & Engineering Subject: No-Parking By-Law Amendment to By-law 2359/87 Recommendation: 1. That Report OES 40-03 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking By-law 2359/87 be received; and 2. That the attached draft by-law 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 Edgewood Road, an amending by-law is being proposed, which if passed, will prohibit on- street parking along a specific section of the 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. That attached by-law, once adopted, must be enforced on a regular basis to be effective. Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of parking signs, costing approximately $250.00 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account 2320-2409. Background: In response to request from a resident of Edgewood Road, Staff recently investigated and evaluated vehicular movement and on street parking on Edgewood Road. Site visits from Municipal Property & Engineering Staff confirm that vehicles experience difficulty traveling along Edgewood Road, primarily through a 'horizontal curve' between Meadowview Avenue and Eastbank Road when vehicles are parked on the south and west sides of Edgewood Road. Edgewood Road is classified as a local roadway with an 8.5 metre width. Currently, there are no parking prohibitions on Edgewood Road. Report OES 40-03 Date: November 4, 2003 73 Subject: No-Parking By-Law Amendment to By-law 2359/87 Page 2 A Community Outreach program has been initiated to inform affected residents of a proposed by-law by distribution of a Community Outreach Letter and Map. The residents are made aware of the concern and proposed changes and have the opportunity to support or oppose the by-law that is being proposed by completing the request. Eight (8) letters were distributed and six (6) were returned with four (4) in support of the proposed parking restriction, and two (2) opposed. Based on these results, the no-parking by-law on Edgewood Road was well received and supported by the public. The by-law amendment, as proposed, will prohibit parking along the south and west side of Edgewood Road from a point 133 metres east of Cobblers Court to a point 233 metres southerly thereof. The passing of a Municipal By-law, to prohibit on-street parking in the aforementioned area of concern, will improve both vehicular and pedestrian safety, but in order to be effective, must be regularly enforced.
