FINANCE AND OPERATIONS COMMITTE

Report Number: OES 41-03
Date: October 22, 2003
From:
Richard W. Holborn
Division Head
Municipal Property & Engineering
Subject:
No-Parking By-Law
- Amendment to By-law 2359/87
- File: Walnut Lane
Recommendations:
1.
That Report OES 41-03 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking By-law
2359/87 be received; and
2.
That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule 'B' to By-law
2359/87 to provide for the regulating of parking, standing, and stopping on
highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the
City of Pickering and on private and municipal property.
Executive Summary: In order to improve visibility, traffic flow and safety on Walnut
Lane between Kingston Road and Storrington Street an amending by-law is being
proposed, which prohibits on-street parking along specific sections of the street. A
Community Outreach Letter and Map were distributed to residents that were affected by
the amending by-law. Results indicate that the public support these proposed no-
parking restrictions. The attached by-law, once adopted, must be enforced on a regular
basis to be effective.
Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of parking signs, costing
approximately $400 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account
2320-2409.
Background: Recently staff investigated neighbourhood concerns about the
presence of on-street parking along Walnut Lane. In order to improve the level of
safety on Walnut Lane, an amending by-law is being proposed, which if passed, will
prohibit on-street parking on both sides of Walnut Lane between Kingston Road and
Storrington Street. The current by-law restricts parking on west side of the street only.

As a recommended practice, a Community Outreach program has been initiated to
inform affected residents of a proposed by-law. The residents have the opportunity to
support or oppose the by-law by completing the letter request form. Twelve (12) letters
were distributed and Ten (10) were returned from residents on Walnut Lane. Results of
the survey were Six (6) in support, Four (4) opposing the proposed by-law and Two (2)
were not returned.The above results indicate that the no-parking by-law on Walnut
Lane was well received and supported by the public. If approved, this by-law must
receive regular enforcement to be effective.
