Holbom DATE: September I, 2100 Division Head Municipal Property & Engineering REPORT NUMBER: OES 012.00 SUBJECT: Parking By -law Amendment Glcnanna Road fronting David Fart Memorial Park RECOMMENDATION: 1. That a by -law be enacted to amend Schedule 'B' of By -law 2359/87 regulating parking restrictions and prohibitions on certain highways. Staff review of on- sirect parking problems. AUTHORITY: Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter M.45, section 210.123 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The manufacture, installation and or replacement of "no- parking' signs costing approximately 5500.00 can be accommcdatcd within the Roads Operating Budget, 2320 -2409, Highway Aids. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Not applicable. BACKGROUND: In September of 1999, City Council passed By -law 5553 /99, which was specifically written to eliminate the on- street parking of vehicles along the south side of Glcnanna Road in the area of David Farr Memorial Park. This by -law was introduced as it was necessary to regulate the location of on- street parked vehicles as they frequently obstructed the sightlines of those motorists attempting to make turning movements onto Glcnanna Road from Walnut Lane, Listowell Crescent and Storringion Street. The by -law as it is currently written and posted effectively prohibits on- street parking for a calculated minimum distance in each direction of the sidestrects to allow for visually unobstructed sightlines. Unfortunately, however, since the posting of the by -law last fall, the signed regulations have been regularly ignored resulting in the cot::inuation of collision hazards at cacti of the sidcstreet intersections. Although no reportable accidents have yet occurred, the operating conditions found on Glcnanna Road arc respective of improved and continuous unobstructed sightlinc Report to Council OES 012 -00 Date: September 1, 2000 Subject: Parking — Glenuma Road fronting David Farr Memorial Park Page 2 visibility. Given that a constant level of Municipal Law uforcemcnt is not available to patrol the area at this time, further parking by -law amendment changes are considered necessary. In an effort to maintain the integrity of pedestrian crossing safety in the area of David Farr Memorial Park by -law changes are not proposed in the area of the Pedestrian Crossover (P.X.0) at Walnut Lane. Changes are, however, recommended to the existing no- parking zone along the north side of Glenanna Road between Listowell Crescent and Bowler Drive. This section of Glenanna Road can safely accommodate additional on- street parking without causing any negative effects on pedestrian or vehicle movement sightlines. In fact, park visitors with vehicles will no longer be required to cross over Glenanna Road to access the various park amenities. With the introduction of additional parking along the north side of Glenanna Road it is recommended that the section between Walnut Lane and Listowell Crescent and also between Listowell Crescent and Storrington Street be by -lawed as no- parking to further reduce the potential for sightlines being obstructed in this area. While it is believed that the newly propc�,ed no- parking by -law amendments will be somewhat self regulating, a minimum level of munic,oal law enforcement should be provided. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
