Subject: Proposed School Stopping Restrictions -Various Locations Page 2
school. Based on staff's review, it was found that vehicles stop on both sides of the
bend during pick-up and drop-off times for Glengrove Public School resulting in reduced
sightlines and creating difficulty, particularly with school buses, in traveling around the
bend. Municipal By-law staff have also indicated that stopping restrictions are preferred
over parking restrictions at this location.
There are existing stopping restrictions (7:30am to 9:00am and 3:00pm to 4:30pm,
Monday to Friday) east of the existing parking restrictions on the bend in front of the
school. However, allowing stopping/parking on the bend at anytime is not
recommended due to difficulty for larger vehicles in negotiating the bend, and the
existing presence of on-street parking.
Therefore, Engineering & Public Works staff propose that the existing parking
restrictions (anytime) on the bend on Glengrove Road in front of Glengrove Public
School be replaced with stopping restrictions (anytime) on both sides of the road.
The proposed stopping restrictions on Glengrove Road are shown graphically in
Attachment 1.
Glenanna Road in front of Vaughan Willard Public School
Area residents and Municipal By-law staff requested that Engineering & Public Works
staff investigate replacing the existing parking restrictions on Glenanna Road in front of
Vaughan Willard Public School with stopping restrictions. Safety concerns, specifically
sightlines, have been expressed, on Glenanna Road in front of the school.
In response to these concerns, Engineering & Public Works staff have completed a
review of the existing parking restrictions on Glenanna Road in front of the school.
Based on staff's review, it was found that vehicles stop directly in front of the school in
the 'no parking' areas, which makes it difficult for vehicles entering and exiting the
school's driveways. Therefore, Engineering & Public Works staff are proposing that the
existing parking restrictions directly in front of Vaughan Willard Public School on the
north side of Glenanna Road be replaced with stopping restrictions.
The proposed stopping restrictions on Glenanna Road are shown graphically in
Attachment 2.
