Report Number:
OES 34-06
Date: September 25, 2006
From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
No Parking By-law - Wharf Street
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
- File: A-2130
Recommendations:
1. That Report OES 34-06 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 '2' 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
driveway access, traffic flow on Wharf Street and public safety in the general area, staff
propose to amend the existing traffic by-law in order to amend the restricted on-street
parking areas. The by-law amendment if passed would revise the restrictions on the
south side of Wharf Street (east of Liverpool Road) from the current 12:00 pm to 5:00
pm Saturday, Sunday and Holidays to the proposed no parking anytime. The scheme
as proposed would allow only street parking on the north side of Wharf Street thereby
addressing public roadway and resident driveway use conflicts as well as improve
visibility and pedestrian safety as pedestrians currently walk on the road due to the lack
of sidewalks.
Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no parking signs is
estimated to cost approximately $150 and can be accommodated within the Roads
current budget account 2320.2409.
Background: Recently, area Ward Councillors received complaints from area
residents regarding the difficulties caused by the presence of on-street parking on
Wharf Street east of Liverpool Road. Given the proximity of both Alderwood Park and
Lake Ontario, Wharf Street is used by the general public as a spillover parking area. As

a result, area residents were experiencing driveway entry/egress difficulties and as well
as continued disruption due to vehicular traffic and nighttime vandalism/loitering.
Therefore, in order to improve area traffic flow, eliminate vehicular conflicts, aid
enforcement and deter night time unwanted activities, staff are proposing to implement
on-street parking controls. The amending by-law if passed, will prohibit on-street
parking on the south side of Wharf Street and permit on street parking on the north side
only (anytime, for a maximum period of three hours). The cul-de-sac (bulb) portion of
the Wharf Street is currently and would remain parking prohibited to allow for vehicular
turn around. A copy of the parking scheme for Wharf Street and the surrounding area
is attached.
If approved, this by-law must: receive regular enforcement to be effective.
