OES 29-06
Date: September 11, 2006
From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations and Emergency Services
Subject:
No Parking By-law - Park Crescent
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A 2130
Recommendations:
1. That Report OES 29-06 regarding a proposed amendment to the municipal
traffic by-law 6604/05 be received; and
2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule 'B' to By-law
6604/05 to provide for the regulating of parking 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 response to area resident concerns with respect to traffic
flow on Park Crescent and public safety in the general area, staff propose to amend the
existing traffic by-law in order to establish permitted and restricted on-street parking
areas. The by-law amendment if passed would formally establish a 10 space (1
disabled permit only) parking area on the south side of Park Crescent adjacent to Lake
Ontario and the Petticoat Creek Conservation area for daytime use only. The scheme
as proposed would convert the current perpendicular parking to parallel parking thereby
addressing public roadway and resident driveway use conflicts and helping deter
nighttime vandalism and loitering by permitting parking only between 6:00 am and 9:00
pm.
Finanéiallmplications: The acquisition and installation of various no parking signs,
and proposed line painting scheme is estimated to cost approximately $1500 and can
be accommodated within the Roads current budget account 2320-2409.
Background: Recently staff investigated neighbourhood concerns regarding the
difficulties caused by the presence of on-street parking at the west end of Park
Crescent. Given the proximity of both the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area and Lake
Ontario, Park Crescent currently serves as a recognized waterfront access and parking

area. Consequently, vehicular traffic and nighttime vandalism 1 loitering continues to
concern and disrupt area residents.
Therefore, in order to improve area traffic flow, eliminate vehicular conflicts, aid
enforcement and deter night time activities, staff are proposing to implement on-street
parking controls. The amending by-law if passed, will prohibit on-street parking on the
north side of Park Crescent (anytime) and permit on street parking on the south side
only during daylight hours between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm. The Cul-de-sac (bulb) portion
of Park Crescent is currently and would remain parking prohibited to allow for vehicular
turn around.
To further improve area use, staff have generated a parallel parking scheme which
formally recognizes the existing public roadway use as a staging area for both
waterfront access and the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area. The scheme creates a
10 space (1 disabled permit only) parking area via regulatory signs and pavement
markings thereby providing enforcement capabilities which benefits the public, the
municipality and adjacent residents. A copy of the parking scheme is attached.
If approved, this by-law must receive regular enforcement to be effective.
