From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
No Parking By-law, Fairview Avenue,
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 09-08 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 resident concerns with roadway traffic flow
and adjacent property access difficulties due to the narrow roadway conditions on
Fairview Avenue, 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 $800, 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 December of 2007, MP&E staff were asked by Municipal
By-law staff to respond to traffic operational concerns from a resident on Fairview
Avenue. The resident noted that he and his neighbours were concerned with visibility
and access difficulties as a result of on street parking.
Fairview Avenue is a local road in the East Shore Community. The area of concern is
the portion of Fairview Avenue south of Browning Avenue, established via plan M-90
with an unusually narrow 9.1 metre (30 ft.) Right of Way and a road pavement width of
7.0 metres (22 ft.).
As the lots were most likely originally established to serve as lakefront cottages, two
Fairview Avenue properties (#716 & #716A) do not have sufficient space to
accommodate off street parking. Consequently, those owners currently park (in
consultation with and in accordance with a previous historical arrangement with the
City) on what constitutes the Fairview Avenue boulevard.
However, with the nearing completion of the Almont Homes Inc. residential
development, the area residents were concerned that the potential increase/demand for
on street parking on Fairview Avenue would further aggravate current difficulties. As
such, the residents have requested that the City implement No Parking restrictions
along portions of the west and east side as well as formally establish a permit parking
scheme for the two affected properties. The resident felt that the measures were
needed to ensure seasonal road maintenance requirements, safe access through the
area, and provide on street parking for both of the area dwellings and in a limited
capacity, for all residents.
Community consultation notices were issued to affected area residents on February 21,
2008 with a follow up contact by staff in March. The notice provided to the six area
residents generated unanimous support for 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 on the east
and west side of Fairview Avenue as per the sketch and corresponding draft By-law
amendments attached.
