From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
No Parking By-law, Brookshire Square
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 08-08 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services
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 difficulties
and poor sightlines due to vehicular on street parking at one of the bends along
Brookshire Square, the City was asked to implement No Parking restrictions in order to
ensure a clear travel path and unobstructed visibility. Having completed the review,
staff support the request and hereby propose to amend the existing municipal traffic by-
law as per the changes attached.
Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no parking signs is
estimated to cost approximately $300; and can be accommodated within the Roads
current budget account 2320.2409.
Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to and the recommendations
as generated by staff address traffic safety issues within the Corporate Healthy society
objectives.

Background: In November of 2007, MP&E staff were asked by municipal
By-law Enforcement staff to respond to traffic operational concerns from a resident on
Brookshire Square. Specifically, municipal staff were requested to investigate and
implement No Parking restrictions along the inside loop, north east bend on Brookshire
Square (as shown on the attached sketch) as a means of addressing difficulties caused
by on street parking and the potential hazard of having to encounter oncoming traffic
while endeavoring to avoid parked cars along the sharp curve.
Community consultation notices were issued to affected area residents on November
30, 2007. The notice provided to the 67 area residents generated 17 replies (a 25%
community response), 13 in support of and 3 in opposition to the controls as proposed.
Consequently, staff (in recognition of the community support) recommend that the
municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect No Parking along the inside
loop, north east bend on Brookshire Square (see sketch attached). The corresponding
draft By-law amendments are attached.
