Subject: Proposed Reduced Weekday Parking Rate for Nautical Village
- File: L-2220-001-22
Recommendation:
1. That Report BYL 03-22, regarding parking rates affecting businesses in the Nautical
Village, be received;
2. That Council approve a reduced rate of $2.50 per hour for parking Monday to Friday
between the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in the Nautical Village (consisting of the lay-by
parking spaces on Liverpool Road and the Liverpool Road parking lot) from May 1st to
October 1st annually; and,
3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: As per Resolution #728-21, Council approved the implementation
of the paid parking program at the City’s waterfront parking lots and paid permit parking on one
side of waterfront area streets from May 1st to October 1st annually as set out in Report BYL
02-21 (see Attachment 1). More specifically affecting the businesses in the Nautical Village,
Council approved an hourly parking rate for City waterfront parking lots, and on-street parking
areas at a rate of $5.00 per hour, setting a maximum parking time of six hours.
The parameters of the waterfront paid parking program, proposed by staff in Report BYL 02-
21, took into account the results of an extensive public consultation program. As stated in that
report, staff received valuable feedback which identified that further consultation is required
with businesses of the Nautical Village to develop a paid parking program for their customers.
Since that time, staff consulted with business owners in the Nautical Village to discuss the paid
parking program. Based on that consultation staff recommend that the rate for parking in the
Nautical Village (specifically the Liverpool Road lay-by parking spaces and the Liverpool Road
parking lot) be reduced during the hours of Monday to Friday between 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, to
a rate of $2.50 per hour.
Financial Implications: Given the lack of data specifically related to the utilization of the
Liverpool Road lay-by parking spaces and the Liverpool Road parking lot, it is impossible to
determine with precision the impact on revenue that will result from the recommended rate
reduction. Notwithstanding this lack of specific data, the reduction of revenue can be estimated
at $58,500.00.

Subject: Proposed Reduced Weekday Parking Rate for Nautical Village Page 2
There are 117 parking spaces available in the Nautical Village area, located in the lay-by
parking along Liverpool Road and the Liverpool Road parking lot. After consultation with
residents and business owners in the Nautical Village, staff estimate that: (a) 50% of people
parking in the Nautical Village area on weekdays are Pickering residents (who park at no
charge), and (b) parking during the week in the Nautical Village is at approximately 50%
capacity. Nautical Village parking revenues can thus be estimated on the basis of half of the
117 parking spaces (58.5 spaces) being used 50% of the time generating revenue at the
current Council-approved rate of $5.00 per hour, weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm. This would
result in revenue of $117,000.00. At a reduced rate of $2.50 per parking space per hour, the
revenue would be reduced by $58,500.00.
Discussion: As per the information provided in Report BYL 02-21 presented to
Council at the Executive Committee meeting of November 1, 2021, staff have engaged in
discussions with business owners in the Nautical Village to develop a parking program for their
customers. A virtual meeting was held with business and property owners in the Nautical
Village on Thursday April 7, 2022. Staff heard comments regarding the number of customers
that are not residents of Pickering, and the need for parking solutions to be simple and not
cost-prohibitive, to ensure customers are not dissuaded from patronizing area businesses.
With the HotSpot Parking software now being implemented by the City, there are two options
available to introduce a parking rate reduction in the Nautical Village from Monday to Friday
between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.
1) The first option is a parking reservation system that could limit the reduced rate to
customers of Nautical Village businesses only. It was only available at a flat rate, so a
$5.00 flat rate would assist customers staying for two hours or more, but offer little benefit
to customers that stayed one hour or less. This option would also require a pre-registration
system, with customers booking a flat rate for a chosen time period, either through a
participating local business or through the HotSpot system. This would not be a reservation
of any particular parking space.
2) The second option is to introduce a reduced rate of $2.50 per hour in the Nautical Village
area from Monday to Friday between 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. This will benefit all persons using
paid parking spaces in the Nautical Village. Residents will continue to park for free by pre-
registering for their free parking permit.
Staff recommend the second option because it is simpler for users and simpler to administer.
This option will benefit businesses, customers and all visitors to the Nautical Village area. To
be clear, this rate reduction will only be in place in the Nautical Village, for the lay-by parking
spaces on Liverpool Road, and in the Liverpool Road parking lot.
If this rate reduction outlined Option #2 is approved by Council, staff will monitor its
implementation and operation to determine if it increases daytime waterfront usage, which may
in turn necessitate providing additional staff coverage for parking patrols during weekday
daytime hours. Staff will also include information regarding reduced rate parking usage in the
BYL 03-22 April 25, 2022

-Current and Proposed Actions
-File: L-2000
Recommendation:
1.That Council approve the implementation of paid parking at the City’s waterfront parking

10. That appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the actions necessary to
implement the recommendations in this report.
Executive Summary: As per Council Resolutions 636/21 and 637/21, staff have
completed a public consultation to obtain feedback from residents regarding the adequacy of
the City’s current parking measures and the proposal to implement paid permit parking, both
on-street and at City waterfront parking lots. The Recommendations above have been
formulated by City staff taking the results of the public consultation into account.
This report contains the results of the public consultation, which was active from August 5
through September 12. The public consultation received 994 visits. Of these, 413 people
completed the associated survey and 120 people completed the quick poll. There is substantial
public support for introducing prohibited parking on one side of waterfront area streets, paid
parking at the waterfront parking lots, on-street permit parking, and free permit parking for
residents, accessible permit holders and veterans. It is noteworthy that 53.3% of the quick poll
respondents access the waterfront by walking.
The survey also included a question to determine if waterfront parks should close earlier than
midnight from April 1st to September 30th. A majority of survey respondents (63.2%) were
opposed to closing the parks earlier. In addition to the Waterfront Parking Public
Consultation, City Development also conducted a separate Waterfront and Nautical Village
Community Engagement Survey. Out of the 153 responses received, 74 mentioned parking as
an issue.
Staff considered all aspects of moving forward with this project at this point in time. While the
waterfront area has seen an extraordinary increase in usage during the COVID pandemic,
questions have been raised about the necessity of implementing long-term parking policies
that may not be required when daily routines return to normal. Given the Town of Ajax decision
to implement paid waterfront parking, however, staff anticipate that Pickering waterfront
parking usage will continue at an increased level.
Staff propose the implementation of the recommendations above to mitigate waterfront parking
problems, however, the fundamental cause of these problems is insufficient parking space.
The City must continue to search for additional parking areas to accommodate the needs of
residents and visitors. Pickering’s waterfront areas are highly valued recreational amenities.
As such, staff will continue to explore options to improve the waterfront experience of both
visitors and area residents.
Financial Implications: Implementation of the Recommendations in this report is expected
to result in an increase in net parking revenues for the City by $290,625.00. That being said,
the following matters will need to be provided for in the City’s budget, starting in 2022, to
implement and administer paid and permit parking in accordance with the Recommendations:
1. Software and hardware: Parking management software and hardware acquisitions
may be made by outright purchase, or on a fee per transaction basis. Staff will complete
their review of the available options. Staff favour a combined approach that consists of
BYL 02-21 November 1, 2021
Subject: Waterfront Parking Page 3
leased software and purchased hardware (such as licence plate recognition equipment
and physical kiosks), with cost recovery achieved through service fees. It is estimated
that software/hardware system costs of approximately $75,000.00 will be required for
the first year, with annual operating costs ranging from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00
depending on the operating system implemented.
2. Staffing: The number of Summer Enforcement Officers will need to be increased in
order to enforce the new paid and permit parking system. This requires an enforcement
presence seven days a week, from 9 am to 10 pm, including statutory holidays at an
estimated cost of $68,000.00. A Supervisor, Parking Enforcement position should also
be created to manage software, hardware, resident permits, all parking related
operations, and other City enforcement initiatives, commencing May 1st, at an estimated
cost of $61,340.00 for the first year, and $92,000.00 annually going forward. The cost of
data entry for resident parking permits would be absorbed through existing staffing.
3. The estimated cost for associated signage will be $20,000.00.
Initial calculations on projected revenue from waterfront parking lots and on-street permit
parking estimates revenue will be $290,625.00. This will more than offset the costs of
implementing and administering the paid and permit parking recommended in this report.
The costs and revenues arising from the Recommendations in this report are as follows:
Annual estimated cost to implement and administer: $224,340.00
Annual estimated revenue: $290,625.00
Net annual revenue: $ 66,285.00
Discussion: Pursuant to Council’s Resolutions 636/21 and 637/21, a public
consultation was undertaken by staff and posted on the City’s website and social media
accounts from August 5 to September 12, 2021. The information was viewed by over 994
visitors to the website, with 413 responses to the survey and 120 responses to the quick poll.
Community engagement and communication efforts included:
• Displayed on the City’s digital community signs for the same time period. Locations
include: Civic Complex, Western Gateway (Kingston Rd. and Altona Rd.), Chestnut Hill
Developments Recreation Complex, Centennial Park, CN Bridge, Kingston Road, west
of Dixie Road
• Issued a media release August 9, 2021
• Postal walk mailing to all waterfront community residences
• Scheduled social media posts on all corporate channels as well as shared with
Community Neighbourhood FB Groups (throughout time period noted)
• Shared content pieces (image and copy) to Mayor and Council EAs for Mayor and
Council social and newsletter consideration
• Shared to City’s online corporate Newsletter (August 10)
Information also appeared in three community page ads, directing the public to the City’s Let’s
Talk Pickering feature to complete the survey and view the information provided. In addition, a

Quick Poll: 120 responses How do you typically get to Pickering’s waterfront areas?
Drive & Park 46.7% Walk 53.3%
Comments Received Include:
• Explore additional parking options along the east end of the waterfront. I would ask that
the City explore how to expand on lakeshore access and parking via Sandy Beach
Road and Alex Robertson Park
• Offer discounted annual passes to those who need to be in the area multiple times per
week
• Offer small businesses the opportunity to purchase discount passes that can be
distributed to staff and/or regular visitors
• Create a shuttle system, using the auxiliary GO lot on Bayly, to shuttle back and forth to
the waterfront
• Agrees with prohibited parking on one side of all waterfront area streets, set a maximum
time period for parked vehicles on city owned waterfront lots, provide residents with no
cost/low cost permit option, disagrees with permit parking on Front St from Commerce
to Annland as it would cause too much congestion
• Put in angled parking Rotary Frenchman’s Bay West Park for 2-3 times the vehicles.
Why do the walking paths cross the road multiple times?
• Create more parking around the perimeter. Widen Westshore Blvd and Sunrise Avenue
with shoulders on the park side
• Build sidewalks allowing people to walk safely from greater distances
• Plan is principally intended to protect existing residents from seeing parked cars.
Unfriendly to all visitors, whether from Pickering or out of town
BYL 02-21 November 1, 2021
Subject: Waterfront Parking Page 6
• I feel that this situation will subside significantly once things open up and people go
about their normal routines. My advice is grin and bear it for one more summer and re-
visit later
• Pleased to see the City considering paid parking and hope this program moves forward
• Can residents of each street effectively hoard permitted parking spaces by coordinating
guest permits throughout the year?
• Would the City consider a revenue sharing program with the local streets near the
Waterfront area to support street-cleaning, sidewalk repair, tree planting, street
beautification programs, etc.?
• Under a maximum time period model, wouldn’t users be less incentivized to park for
shorter durations and instead use the full amount of their allotment
• Waterfront area residents should be allowed to have non-paying street parking guests.
• Is the City charging for parking only between May and October when parking demands
are likely highest, and a demand management program (aka paid parking) is
necessary?
Operational Recommendations:
The feedback received has brought forward valuable suggestions. City Staff from Economic
Development, Engineering and Municipal Law Enforcement Services will work with businesses
in the Nautical Village to develop a parking program for their customers. Staff will also consider
whether a seasonal pass should be made available to those who access the waterfront areas
on a regular basis, such as dragon boat paddlers. Feedback was also received regarding the
need to permanently increase the number of accessible parking spaces in the lot at Liverpool
Road. Engineering staff are reviewing accessible parking spaces in this location.
In response to the feedback from the public, staff are recommending that accessible permit
holders utilizing accessible spaces, and vehicles with Veteran’s plates be provided free
parking. Alex Robertson park will not be designated as a paid parking lot at this point, due to
the potential impact on Kinsmen Park users, however, staff will monitor parking activity in this
location. In addition, on-street parking on Park Crescent, Rodd Avenue, and Bellavista Drive
should also be considered as paid parking areas, and staff seek Council direction to expand
the community consultation to these areas.
Potential Costs:
There are multiple options to manage paid and permit parking including pay per plate systems,
digital parking systems, physical kiosks. Staff will undertake a full Request for Quotation
process through Supply and Services with Council approval. While some aspects of parking
management can be funded on a fee per service basis, others cannot. Specifically, physical
hardware such as licence plate recognition software and kiosks may require an upfront
expenditure to purchase and implement. Staff have received some preliminary proposals that
support a 2022 budget provision of not more than $75,000.00 to implement paid waterfront
parking.
Implementation of paid parking necessitates a level of enforcement that cannot be provided by
the current staff complement. It will be necessary to add parking enforcement coverage from 9
BYL 02-21 November 1, 2021
Subject: Waterfront Parking Page 7
am through 10 pm daily from May through October 1st in order to enforce paid and permit
parking restrictions at all times when parking is allowed. Staff propose increasing the number
of term Summer Enforcement Officers to provide the needed extra coverage for parking and
allow flexibility in staff duties to ensure coverage is always available. In addition, the creation of
a Supervisor, Parking Enforcement is recommended to provide ongoing supervision and
management of the software, hardware, staff, resident permit system, parking ticket review,
court appearances, and administration.
Cost/Revenue Analysis:
At this point in time, a preliminary survey of all residential streets to determine the number of
potential permit parking spaces has been completed. Staff estimate that there will be
approximately 400 on-street permit parking spaces. (See Attachment 3). Revenue figures are
based on existing waterfront parking lot spaces at Liverpool Road, Progress Park, and
Beachpoint Promenade (parking lot and street spaces), and projected on-street spaces.
In order to project the potential revenue generated, staff consulted Environics Inc. and
received reports through their Mobilescapes program. The data provided by Environics
indicated that from May 1 through August 1 of 2021, 21% of trips to the waterfront originated in
Pickering, while the remaining 79% were from other municipalities. This information is
required to determine the percentage of potential free Pickering resident permit holders, vs. the
non-resident and un-registered users who will be required to pay for parking.
The following chart gives a breakdown of visitors:
Waterfront Parking Visitors Origin
Pickering, 21%
Toronto, 36.60%
Ajax, 11.20%
Markham, 6.69%
Whitby, 4.90%
Oshawa, 4.18%
All Other, 15.28%
Based on this information, staff have estimated that 25% of parking spaces in City parking lots
will be used by resident permit holders at no charge. (Staff note that the Town of Ajax has
issued a total of 7,100 free permits to residents.)
BYL 02-21 November 1, 2021
Subject: Waterfront Parking Page 8
Of the 167 permanent parking spaces in the Liverpool Road lot, Progress Park and Beachpoint
Promenade (accessible parking spaces not included), subtracting 25% of the spaces for
resident use leaves approximately 125 spaces that will be paid vehicle parking.
If the waterfront lots were filled to capacity from 9 am – 10 pm daily, from May to October, after
subtracting 25% for residents’ use, the maximum revenue that could be generated is
approximately $1,243,125.00 (125 spaces X 13 hrs/day X 153 days X $5/hr).
Given fluctuations in weather conditions, lower usage numbers during May/June and
September/October, and the lack of statistical data regarding existing parking lot usage
(including times of use and resident vs. non-resident use) staff conservatively project revenue
from waterfront lots at 20% of the maximum, or $248,625.00.
On-street permit parking is generally utilized only when waterfront parking lots are full. To
account for this, staff estimated the use of on-street parking spaces (and the anticipated
revenue from them) on the assumption that their use would be limited to weekends and
statutory holidays between July and August, from 11 am to 6 pm. Estimating that 25% of on-
street parking spaces would be used by residents at no charge, this leaves 300 spaces. 300 X
20 days x 7 hrs/day x $5.00/hr = $210,000.00 in potential revenue from on-street parking
spaces. Projecting revenue more conservatively at 20% of that amount results in an estimate
of $42,000.00 in annual on-street parking permit revenue.
Based on the foregoing, the total projected revenue from the City’s parking lots and on-street
parking spaces is $290,625.00.
Cost vs Revenue Comparison:
Annual estimated cost to implement and administer: $224,340.00
Annual estimated revenue: $290,625.00
Net annual revenue: $ 66,285.00
This net revenue can be applied against the City’s other waterfront enforcement costs. This
reduces the tax burden of waterfront enforcement generally, which is appropriate given that
79% of visitors to the waterfront are not Pickering residents.
Parking Management
Subject to Council’s approval, staff will commence a procurement process in accordance with
the City’s Purchasing Policy to determine the best type of parking management software to
ensure ease of use, customer access and functionality to meet the needs of both waterfront
visitors and City administration. There are a number of options available including pay by
space, pay by plate, pay and display, as well as potential enforcement models incorporating
licence plate recognition software.

Continued Search for Additional Parking Areas:
While the current review and implementation of waterfront parking strategies will better
manage vehicular traffic at the waterfront and address some of the concerns of area residents,
a key issue continues to be inadequate parking to accommodate large numbers of visitors.
While expanding some on-street permit parking areas, such as Westshore Blvd and Sunrise
Avenue, will add additional spaces, staff will continue to investigate additional parking options
to alleviate the parking problems experienced in the City’s waterfront areas.
