From:
Richard W. Holborn
Division Head, Municipal Property and Engineering
Subject:
No Parking By-law - Amendment to By-law 2359/87
File: A-2130
Recommendations:
That Report OES 25-05 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking by-law
2359/87 be received; and
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 dwelling access and to address visibility,
traffic flow and safety on Diefenbaker Court, Valley Farm Road and the Pickering
Parkway staff propose an amendment to the municipal on-street parking by-law. As the
changes proposed generally reduce the on-street parking restrictions currently in place
and are considered community friendly, a Community Outreach notice was not issued.
Financial Implications: The removal and installation of no parking signs (as the
case may be), costing approximately $500 can be accommodated within the 2005
Roads current budget account 2320-2409.
Background: Staff were requested to review the area parking controls in
response to resident concerns regarding the difficulties with ingress and egress at
major residential driveways onto Diefenbaker Court, Valley Farm Road and the
Pickering Parkway. The complaints included poor visibility caused by the presence of
on-street parking near driveways.

As a result of the review, staff are proposing several changes to existing on-street
parking controls. The amending by-law as proposed, if passed would:
reduce the on-street parking restrictions currently in place on Valley Farm Road
which staff feel are unnecessary given the current and future traffic volumes and
existing roadway pavement widths. This will in effect provide area residents with
additional onstreet parking (notwithstanding the municipal maximum 3 hour
parking provision) for easier dwelling access.
maintain and create new restricted areas directly adjacent to the development and
facility driveways thereby promoting increased visibility for ingress and egress and
area safety.
A Community Outreach notice was not issued, as staff consider the proposed changes
as community friendly amendments towards reducing existing on-street parking
restrictions while increasing visibility for access onto arterial roads.
