Home My WebLink AboutENG 21-16 ed 66' Report to PICKERING Executive Committee Report Number: ENG 21-16 Date: September 12, 2016 From: Richard Holborn Director, Engineering & Public Works Subject: Proposed Amendments to the Traffic & Parking By-law 6604/05 —Various Locations - File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "2" and Schedule "8" to By- law 6604/05 to provide for the regulation of stopping and parking on highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering, specifically to address the proposed on-street parking on Brookshire Square, Merritton Road and Chickadee Court, and a proposed yield condition on Spartan Court. 2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary actions as indicated in this report. Executive Summary: In response to parking concerns by area residents, Engineering & Public Works staff are proposing to remove a portion of on-street parking on Brookshire Square and add parking restrictions on Merritton Road and Chickadee Court. A yield control is also recommended on Spartan Court, where the road intersects with itself, to minimize vehicular conflicts and to designate right of way. Financial Implications: The installation of posts and 'no parking' signs on Brookshire Square, Merritton Road, Chickadee Court, and a yield sign and yield ahead warning sign on Spartan Court can be accommodated within the 2016 Roads Current Budget. Discussion: In response to parking concerns by area residents and a required addition of intersection control at Spartan Court, Engineering & Public Works staff are proposing the following updates to the Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05: Removal of a portion of on-street parking on Brookshire Square is recommended Area residents contacted the City requesting staff investigate the removal of on-street parking restrictions on Brookshire Square along the north eastern curve citing that they are no longer necessary. The existing parking restrictions were implemented in 2008 after concerns from area residents were brought forward with respect to difficulties with on-street parking and parked cars along the curve. ENG 21-16 September 12, 2016 Subject: Proposed Amendments to the Traffic & Parking By-law 6604/05 —Various Locations Page 2 Before the parking restrictions were implemented in 2008, notice was given to 67 homes in the area. A total of 16 replies with 13 in support and 3 in opposition to restrictions on the curve were received. A letter dated January 8, 2016 was delivered to 67 homes on Brookshire Square regarding the potential removal of on-street parking restrictions on Brookshire Square. The letter asked area residents to indicate their support or opposition to the potential removal of on-street parking restrictions along the north eastern curve on Brookshire Square. Of the 67 homes on Brookshire Square surveyed, 24 replies were generated with 19 in support of the removal of parking restrictions and 4 in opposition to the removal of parking restrictions along the curve. Many residents who were in favour of the removal mentioned that the restrictions were requested to be put in place due to a neighbour dispute, not because of traffic operational issues, which the 2008 report stated. However, those opposed to the removal stated that the restrictions do help with vehicular sightlines. Therefore, based on the comments received from area residents and staff review, City staff have concluded that a full removal of parking restrictions along the curve is not necessary. Rather, a partial removal of parking restrictions at the south end (approximately 10 metres) is recommended. Only parking restrictions along the actual curve would remain. The proposed parking restriction removal on Brookshire Square is shown graphically in Attachment 1. Parking Restrictions are proposed on Merritton Road Concerns have been received by City staff regarding vehicle parking from the area resident on Merritton Road. Merritton Road is a no exit road with one residence and multiple commercial businesses. Currently, visitors and customers to those businesses park on the shoulder of both sides of the street. To assist with vehicle access and sightlines, parking restrictions on Merritton Road were implemented in July, 2015. However as a result of these parking restrictions, the area resident has experienced additional difficulty with entering and exiting the residence due to visitors and customers to the businesses parking closer to the resident's driveway. The owner of the residence has asked for permanent restrictions at their driveway so that they can enter and exit the residence safely. In response to this concern, Engineering & Public Works staff have completed a review and temporary parking restrictions were placed on Merritton Road at the area resident's driveway until permanent restrictions could be implemented. The temporary parking restrictions have been in place since the winter with no complaints from the area resident or the businesses. Therefore, Engineering & Public Works staff recommend that permanent restrictions be placed on the south side Merritton Road in front of the area resident's house. CORP0227-07/01 revised ENG 21-16 September 12, 2016 Subject: Proposed Amendments to the Traffic & Parking By-law 6604/05 —Various Locations Page 3 The proposed parking restriction on Merritton Road is shown graphically in Attachment 2. Parking Restrictions are proposed on Chickadee Court The Region of Durham has raised concerns that waste collection vehicles are having difficulty turning onto Chickadee Court from the new development at the south east section on the road, south of Sparrow Circle. This issue occurs during the daytime only when vehicles are parked on the west side of the Chickadee Court. To avoid this conflict from occurring, Engineering & Public Works staff recommends that a portion of Chickadee Court, south of Sparrow Circle have parking restricted on the west side of the road. The parking restrictions are being proposed as Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm only, excluding holidays, to minimize any inconvenience to area residents, The proposed parking restriction on Chickadee Court is shown graphically in Attachment 3. A yeild sign is proposed on Spartan Court The extension of Spartan Court to the north where the road previously only curved south has created an uncontrolled intersection where Spartan Court intersects with itself. The east/west portion of Spartan Court now intersects directly with the north/south portion of the road creating an uncontrolled intersection where possible vehicular conflicts could occur. Although Spartan Court is a low volume road and is not a through street, it is recommended that a yield sign be placed on the east/west approach of the intersection to minimize vehicular conflicts and to designate right of way. The proposed yield condition on Spartan Court is shown graphically in Attachment 4. The proposed Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 Amendment, Schedule 2, No Parking and Schedule 8, Yield Right of Way Signs is provided in Attachment 5. Attachments: 1.
