• Sheppard Avenue, south side, from 380 metres east of Whites Road to 410 metres east of
Whites Road (extension of existing parking restrictions).
• Major Oaks Road, both sides, from Brock Road to Beaton Way.
Financial Implications: The installation of all posts and signs can be accommodated within the 2024 Current Budget.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to
the Pickering Strategic Plan Corporate Key to Deliver on Good Governance, Open & Transparent Decision Making, and Customer-Focused Program & Service Delivery.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to request that Council amend Traffic and Parking
By-law 6604/05 to provide for the inclusion of parking restrictions at various locations throughout the City. The draft by-law amendment to Schedule “2”, No Parking, By-law 6604/05 is presented in Attachment 9 to this report.
In response to concerns from area residents and to promote traffic safety, Engineering Services
staff propose the following modifications to Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05:
1. Parking restrictions are proposed on the north inner curve on Rosefield Road where pedestrians cross to get to the pathway that leads into Glengrove Park / Glengrove Public School
At the southwest corner of Rosefield Road, residents have expressed concerns regarding vehicle
parking on the inner curve. Parents/Guardians and students cross at this location to get to the
pathway that leads into Glengrove Park and Glengrove Public School.
Engineering Services staff have reviewed sightlines and determined that vehicles do park on the inner curve, which creates sightline and safety issues. It is therefore recommended that parking restrictions be placed on the inner curve on Rosefield Road in this location.
The proposed parking restrictions on Rosefield Road are shown graphically in Attachment 1.
2. Parking restrictions are proposed on the south side of Radom Street to improve sightlines when exiting the residences at 1235 Radom Street
The Manager of the condominium complex at 1235 Radom Street contacted the City to request parking restrictions on Radom Street at the driveway of 1235 Radom Street.
Engineering Services staff reviewed sightlines and observed that vehicles on Radom Street are parking right up to the driveway at the residences at 1235 Radom Street. This creates difficulty for motorists exiting the condominium as they are having difficulty seeing vehicles on the street.
ENG 08-24 June 10, 2024
Subject: Amendments to the Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 Page 3
Based on the review and observations, it is recommended that parking restrictions be placed 15 metres from both sides of the driveway at 1235 Radom Street to improve sightlines for motorists
exiting the condominium complex.
The proposed parking restrictions on Radom Street are shown graphically in Attachment 2.
3. Parking restrictions are proposed on the north side Glenanna Road near Echo Point Court due to sightline restrictions
Residents on Echo Point Court have expressed sightline and safety concerns when vehicles park
on Glenanna Road to the west of Echo Point Court.
This concern was reviewed by Engineering Services staff, and the main contributing factors were determined to be as follows:
• There is a curve and hill to the west of Echo Point Court, which reduces sightlines of
westbound traffic to see eastbound traffic.
• Although a vehicle can currently park on Glenanna Road west of Echo Point Court at any time, the busiest times are during the pick-up and drop-off times at the school, which makes it very difficult to see eastbound traffic.
Based on the review, Engineering Services staff placed parking restrictions on the north side of
Glenanna Road from Echo Point Court to 30 metres west of Echo Point Court. This parking restriction was implemented based on the Traffic and Parking By-law that allows City staff to restrict parking 30 metres from an intersection provided that signs are present. It is, however, recommended by staff that the existing parking restrictions be extended by 50 metres to alleviate
the sightline concern.
It is therefore recommended that the existing parking restrictions on the north side of Glenanna Road be extended another 50 metres to the west on Glenanna Road.. Affected residents have been contacted and informed that parking restrictions are being proposed.
The proposed parking restrictions on Glenanna Road are shown graphically in Attachment 3.
4. Parking restrictions are proposed on the south side Strouds Lane to address sightline concerns when exiting Alder Court
Residents on Alder Court have expressed sightline and safety concerns when vehicles park on Strouds Lane to the west of Alder Court.
ENG 08-24 June 10, 2024
Subject: Amendments to the Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 Page 4
This concern was reviewed by Engineering Services staff, and the main contributing factors were determined to be as follows:
•Alder Court is the first street to the east of the school crossing at Highbush Public School andmany parents/guardians park in the area contributing to the sightline concern.
•There is a curve and hill to the west of Alder Court, which reduces the sight of eastbound traffic
when vehicles are parked on the south side of Strouds Lane near Alder Court.
Based on the review, Engineering Services recommends that parking restrictions be placed on the south side of Strouds Lane to alleviate the sightline concerns from Alder Court to 40 metres west thereof.
The proposed parking restrictions on Strouds Lane are shown graphically in Attachment 4.
5.Parking restrictions are proposed on the north side of Saffron Avenue
At the most southeast portion of Saffron Avenue, residents have expressed concerns regarding vehicle parking on the inner curve, citing difficulty to navigate this corner when vehicles are parked in this location.
Engineering Services staff reviewed sightlines and determined that vehicles do park on the inner
curve, which creates sightline issues that make it difficult to maneuver. It is therefore
recommended that parking restrictions be placed on the inner curve on Saffron Avenue at the southeast corner.
The proposed parking restrictions on Saffron Avenue Lane are shown graphically in Attachment 5.
6.Parking restrictions are proposed on the inner curve on Krosno Boulevard east of ZatorAvenue
Residents advise that it is difficult to navigate the southeast corner of Krosno Boulevard east of Zator Avenue due to vehicles parking along the inner curve.
Engineering Services staff reviewed this concern and determined that vehicles do park on the inner curve, which makes the curve difficult to navigate and maneuver. There are already parking restrictions on the east side (outer curve) of Krosno Boulevard, however, due to the length of the
curve, it is recommended that parking restrictions be placed on the inner curve on Krosno Boulevard at the southeast corner east of Zator Avenue near house number 808.
The proposed parking restrictions on Krosno Boulevard are shown graphically in Attachment 6.

7.Parking restrictions are proposed to be extended 30 metres on the south side ofSheppard Avenue near house number 791
Residents have expressed concerns with respect to parked vehicles creating access and sightline
issues on Sheppard Avenue near house number 791. The primary concern is with residents exiting their property on both the south and north side of the street.
Engineering Services staff have reviewed this and determined that the parking area can be shortened by approximately 30 metres to eliminate the concern, improve the sightlines for
residents, and leave ample parking on Sheppard Avenue for residents and visitors.
The proposed parking restrictions on Sheppard Avenue are shown graphically in Attachment 7.
8.Parking restrictions are recommended on both sides of Major Oaks Road from BrockRoad to Beaton Way
Residents have expressed concerns with parking on Major Oaks Road where the left turn lane
extends from Brock Road to Beaton Way.
Engineering Services staff have reviewed this and confirm the following:
•There is a painted left-turn lane on Major Oaks Road which extends from Brock Road toBeaton Way. This area of the road is where the majority of the parking takes place.
•On-street parking is more frequent when the Pickering Islamic Centre is active and people arelooking for a place to park.
•There are currently parking restrictions on the south side of Major Oaks Road from Brock Roadto 30 metres west of Brock Road. This parking restriction was implemented based on the
Traffic and Parking By-law that allows City staff to restrict parking 30 metres from anintersection provided that signs are present.
Based on the review, Engineering Services staff recommend that parking restrictions be placed on Major Oaks Road between Brock Road and Beaton Way on both sides of the street. On the south
side of Major Oaks Road, the parking would be extended to Beaton Way from where it currently
ends 30 metres west of Brock Road. These parking restrictions are recommended because it can be difficult to drive in the right-hand lane between Brock Road and Major Oaks Road when parked vehicles are present and there are vehicles queued to turn in the left-turn lane.
The proposed parking restrictions on Major Oaks Road are shown graphically in Attachment 8.
