SUBJECT:
Amendment of Parking By-law 2359/87
Chipmunk Street adjacent to Frenchman's Bay Public School

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.
That a by-law be enacted to amend Schedule' A' By-law 2359/87 regulating parking,

The manufacture and installation of regulatory no-stopping signs costing approximately $800.00

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
In response to several complaints, staff of the Operations & Emergency Services Department,
Municipal Property & Engineering Division recently investigated traffic movement operations in
the vicinity of each school site. Site visits confirm that there is a high level of unsafe traffic and
pedestrian crossing movements accessing Frenchman's Bay Public School and Valley Farm
Public School during the morning and afternoon periods. By-law amendments are recommended
to alleviate traffic congestion on minor streets and to allow for two-way traffic flow.

Frenchman's Bay Public School
On November 1st, 1999, By-law #5570/99 was approved to prohibit on-street parking/stopping
along Oklahoma Drive and Breezy Drive in the area of Frenchman's Bay Public School. This by-
law was specifically implemented along the north and south sides of Oklahoma Drive and
Breezy Drive to protect sightlines and improve vehicle and pedestrian movement operations.
On February 4th, 2002, the 'Kiss and Ride' program was implemented to improve the vehicular
and pedestrian traffic congestion ftonting and adjacent to the school. The 'Kiss and Ride'

program has coordinated traffic movements on school property, however, an increased level of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic is occurring on City streets near the schooL To improve the
safety on Oklahoma Drive and Chipmunk Street, staff proposes a by-law amendment that will
prohibit "stopping" along the east side of Chipmunk Street from Oklahoma Drive to Sunrise
Avenue. The by-law amendment is to be in effect from 7:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday,
September 1st to June 30th.
-
Valley Farm Public School
On October 22,2001, Valley Farm Public School implemented the 'Kiss and Ride' program. No-
stopping by-laws were implemented to prohibit on street parking and stopping in the vicinity of
the school. These prohibitions are regularly enforced and are effective for smooth operation of
the new program.
Recently, the School Community Council (SCC) has expressed concerns about parking issues
beyond the no-stopping zone and has requested staff to investigate the parking conditions. Staff
has been monitoring the area in cooperation with By-law Services to enforce the prohibitions.
Staff has met on site with SCC members to discuss the concerns and found that an extension of
the current by-law is required. The proposed by-law amendment on Pepperwood Gate will
prohibit "stopping" along the north and east sides ofPepperwood Gate from Major Oaks Road to
322 meters east of Major Oaks Road. This distance is required to protect sightlines and to
increase mobility for emergency service personal and vehicles. The by-law amendment, as
proposed, is to be in effect from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, September 1st to June
30th.
All parking by-laws fronting or adjacent to school property must receive regular enforcement to
be effective. Without monitoring and enforcement of these regulatory by-laws, the Kiss and
Ride programs and the operating safety of the roadway will be compromised.
