REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: OES 13-08
Date: May 12, 2008
From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
No Parking By-law, Sunrise Avenue,
Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 13-08 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, poor
sightlines and driveway access difficulties due to vehicular on street school bus parking
on Sunrise 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 $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 October of 2007, MP&E staff were asked via the
corporate Customer Care Centre to respond to traffic operational concerns from a
resident on Sunrise Avenue. Specifically, municipal staff were requested to investigate
and implement No Parking restrictions along the south side of Sunrise Avenue (as
shown on the attached sketch) as a means of addressing difficulties caused by on
street parking. Specifically school buses destined for the Frenchman's Bay Public
School were using the south side of Sunrise Avenue as a temporary staging area in the
afternoons prior to student pickup. As the portion of Sunrise Avenue from West Shore
Boulevard to Chipmunk Street has a slightly narrower pavement width, the resident
noted driveway access difficulties.
A municipal community consultation notice was issued on November 12, 2007. The
notice generated a singular reply noting ambivalence to on street parking controls.
Given the lack of community direction, City staff contacted the 6 affected residents
individually all of whom noted 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 on the south side of
Sunrise Avenue from West Shore Boulevard to Chipmunk Street (see sketch attached).
The corresponding draft By-law amendment is attached.
