That Report OES 29-06 regarding a proposed amendment to the municipal traffic by-law 6604/05 be received; and 2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule 'B' to By-law 6604/05 to provide for the regulating of parking 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 response to area resident concerns with respect to traffic flow on Park Crescent and public safety in the general area, staff propose to amend the existing traffic by-law in order to establish permitted and restricted on-street parking areas. The by-law amendment if passed would formally establish a 10 space (1 disabled permit only) parking area on the south side of Park Crescent adjacent to Lake Ontario and the Petticoat Creek Conservation area for daytime use only. The scheme as proposed would convert the current perpendicular parking to parallel parking thereby addressing public roadway and resident driveway use conflicts and helping deter nighttime vandalism and loitering by permitting parking only between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm. Finanéiallmplications: The acquisition and installation of various no parking signs, and proposed line painting scheme is estimated to cost approximately $1500 and can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account 2320-2409. Background: Recently staff investigated neighbourhood concerns regarding the difficulties caused by the presence of on-street parking at the west end of Park Crescent. Given the proximity of both the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area and Lake Ontario, Park Crescent currently serves as a recognized waterfront access and parking Report OES 29-06 Subject: Parking By-law Amendment Date: September 11, 2006 Page 2 .¡ 8~ 1. J area. Consequently, vehicular traffic and nighttime vandalism 1 loitering continues to concern and disrupt area residents. Therefore, in order to improve area traffic flow, eliminate vehicular conflicts, aid enforcement and deter night time activities, staff are proposing to implement on-street parking controls. The amending by-law if passed, will prohibit on-street parking on the north side of Park Crescent (anytime) and permit on street parking on the south side only during daylight hours between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm. The Cul-de-sac (bulb) portion of Park Crescent is currently and would remain parking prohibited to allow for vehicular turn around. To further improve area use, staff have generated a parallel parking scheme which formally recognizes the existing public roadway use as a staging area for both waterfront access and the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. The scheme creates a 10 space (1 disabled permit only) parking area via regulatory signs and pavement markings thereby providing enforcement capabilities which benefits the public, the municipality and adjacent residents. A copy of the parking scheme is attached. If approved, this by-law must receive regular enforcement to be effective. Attachments: 1. Parking scheme diagram 2. Draft By-law Amendments ~red By .p-.
