That a by-law be enacted to amend Schedule 'A' By-law 2359/87 regulating stopping restrictions and prohibitions on certain highways. ORIGIN: Request ITom St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School for a regulatory by-law condition required to support the implementation of the 'Kiss and Ride' program. AUTHORITY: Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. MAS, as amended, section 210.123. - FINANCIAL IMPLICA TrONS: The manufacture and installation of regulatory no-stopping signs costing approximately $2000.00 will be accommodated within the Roads Current Budget account, 2320-2409. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Not applicable. BACKGROUND: In Ontario, new initiatives are used to reduce the vehicular and pedestrian congestion associated with schools. The 'Kiss and Ride' or 'Parent Safety Patrol' program has been a program specially designed to address the safety concern associated with school and residential community traffic. The 'Kiss and Ride' zone is an area allocated to drop-off and pick-up students in the parking lot of the school. These zones facilitate the safe coordinated arrival and departure of parent vehicle traffic on school property without creating traffic congestion on municipal roadways. - In response to several inquiries, staff of the Operations & Emergency Services Department, Municipal Property & Engineering Division recently investigated and evaluated traffic movement operations on Strouds Lane and Rosebank Road adjacent to St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School. Site visits confinn that there is a high level of unsafe traffic and pedestrian crossing movements resulting ITom the high volumes of parent vehicle traffic accessing the property during the morning and afternoon periods. The school has addressed these problems to the City and Durham Regional Police, and we suggested the 'Kiss and Ride' program to the school administration. St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School will be implementing the 'Kiss and Ride' program in February 2002. Report to Council DES 007 - 02 Date: February 15, 2001. 003 Subject: Amendment of Parking By-law 2359/87 Page 2 - To increase safety fronting St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School and to protect sightlines associated with vehicular and pedestrian movements, the proposed by-law amendment is required. The by-law amendment will prohibit "stopping" along the north and south sides of Strouds Lane from Rosebank Road to 215 meters west of Rosebank Road, and fTom Rosebank Road to 288 meters west of Rosebank Road, respectively. The by-law amendment will also prohibit "stopping" along the east side of Rosebank Road fTom Strouds Lane to Charnwood Crescent, and the west side of Rosebank Road from Strouds Lane to 116.5 meters north of Strouds Lane. The by-law amendment is to be in effect for Monday - Friday, from 7:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. The passing of these by-laws will improve the visibility of the roadways, increase the sightlines at the signalized intersection of Strouds Lane at Rosebank Road, as well as increase sightlines for vehicles entering and exiting the school property. The no-stopping prohibitions may increase the number of vehicles parking on the side streets; therefore, a need for school crossing protection may exist in the area of Strouds Lane at Autumn Crescent. The need for this level of protection will be evaluated following the implementation of the 'Kiss and Ride' program and the respective no-stopping by-laws. If approved, these by-laws must receive regular enforcement to be effective. ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2. Draft By-laws Location Maps - Prepared By: ~~ Renata V. Y.
