Executive Summary: When events are held in the vicinity of Pickering Fire Station #4 in

proposed on both sides of Old Brock Road fronting the fire station.
Financial Implications: The installation of No Parking signs and posts can be accommodated
within the Roads Current Budget.

Fire Station #4 in Claremont with respect to access to the fire station when vehicles are parked on
Old Brock Road. The fire station in Claremont is located on Old Brock Road directly beside Dr.
Nelson F. Tomlinson Community Centre and Claremont Memorial Park.
Fire Services staff have indicated that when events are held in the vicinity of the fire station,
motorists will park on Old Brock Road, impacting the access of fire trucks into and out of the fire
station. As such, Fire Services staff are requesting parking restrictions on Old Brock Road in front
of Fire Station #4.

As this is a safety concern, Engineering Services staff met with Fire Services staff to determine
the limits of potential parking restrictions on Old Brock Road. It was determined by staff that, to
provide unimpeded access into and out of the fire station at all times, parking restrictions are
recommended on both sides of Old Brock Road fronting the fire station, specifically:
• On the west side of Old Brock Road from 90 metres south of Wellington Street to 125 metres
south of Wellington Street, at anytime.
• On the east side of Old Brock Road from 90 metres south of Wellington Street to 150 metres
south of Wellington Street, at anytime.
The proposed parking restrictions on Old Brock Road are illustrated in Attachment 1, and the draft
by-law for the proposed parking restrictions on Old Brock Road is provided in Attachment 2.
The Claremont and District Community Association has been advised of the proposed parking
restrictions.
