Date: January 22, 2007
From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
No Stopping By-law, Pickering Parkway
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-2130
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 04-07 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 "2" to By-law
6604/05 to provide for the regulation 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 concerns with roadway traffic flow and poor
sightlines due to vehicular on street parking along the north side of Pickering Parkway
east of Valley Farm Road, the City was asked to extend the No Parking restrictions in
order to increase visibility.
Having completed the review, staff support the request and hereby propose to amend
the existing traffic by-law as per the changes attached.
Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no stopping signs is
estimated to cost approximately $700 and can be accommodated within the Roads
current budget account 2320.2409.
Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to staff and the
recommendations generated by staff are relevant to the social lens of sustainability by
addressing traffic operations and aging populace issues.

Background: In August, 2006, municipal staff were contacted by Property
Management at 1525 Diefenbaker and 1530/1540 Pickering Parkway. The senior
residents within the "Village at the Pines" rental complex were experiencing difficulties
exiting the site via the south driveway onto Pickering Parkway, noting poor sightlines
caused by on street parking and the speed of vehicles along Pickering Parkway.
Further to a staff review by Municipal Operations and Traffic Operations staff, in
consultation with Complex Property Management, it was determined and agreed that on
street parking restrictions should be extended to provide at least 120m of clear roadway
visibility along Pickering Parkway from the complex driveway (as shown on the attached
sketch).
Consequently, staff recommend that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended
to reflect No Parking along the north side of Pickering Parkway from 130m east of
Valley Farm Road to 275m east of Valley Farm Road. The corresponding draft By-law
amendments are attached. In order for the By-law and new restrictions to be effective,
they must receive regular enforcement.
