That Report OES 04-07 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 regulation 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 concerns with roadway traffic flow and poor sightlines due to vehicular on street parking along the north side of Pickering Parkway east of Valley Farm Road, the City was asked to extend the No Parking restrictions in order to increase visibility. Having completed the review, staff support the request and hereby propose to amend the existing traffic by-law as per the changes attached. Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no stopping signs is estimated to cost approximately $700 and can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account 2320.2409. Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to staff and the recommendations generated by staff are relevant to the social lens of sustainability by addressing traffic operations and aging populace issues. Report OES 04-07 January 22, 2007 Subject: No Stopping By-law, Pickering Parkway Page 2 C.r: 1: . ~.t. Background: In August, 2006, municipal staff were contacted by Property Management at 1525 Diefenbaker and 1530/1540 Pickering Parkway. The senior residents within the "Village at the Pines" rental complex were experiencing difficulties exiting the site via the south driveway onto Pickering Parkway, noting poor sightlines caused by on street parking and the speed of vehicles along Pickering Parkway. Further to a staff review by Municipal Operations and Traffic Operations staff, in consultation with Complex Property Management, it was determined and agreed that on street parking restrictions should be extended to provide at least 120m of clear roadway visibility along Pickering Parkway from the complex driveway (as shown on the attached sketch). Consequently, staff recommend that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect No Parking along the north side of Pickering Parkway from 130m east of Valley Farm Road to 275m east of Valley Farm Road. The corresponding draft By-law amendments are attached. In order for the By-law and new restrictions to be effective, they must receive regular enforcement. Attachments: 1. Parking scheme diagrams 2.
