REPORT NUMBER: OES 015 - 02 SUBJECT: Amendment of Parking By-law 2359/87 Chipmunk Street adjacent to Frenchman's Bay Public School Pepperwood Gate adjacent to Valley Farm Public School RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That a by-law be enacted to amend Schedule' A' By-law 2359/87 regulating parking, standing, and stopping restrictions on certain highways. ORlGIN: Follow-up investigation of on-street parking/stopping complaints related to the operation of the Kiss and Ride programs at Frenchman's Bay Public School and Valley Farm Public School. AUTHORITY: - Municipal Act, RS.O. 1990, c. MA5, as amended, section 210.123. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The manufacture and installation of regulatory no-stopping signs costing approximately $800.00 will be accommodated within the Roads Current Budget account, 2320-2409. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Not applicable. BACKGROUND: In response to several complaints, staff of the Operations & Emergency Services Department, Municipal Property & Engineering Division recently investigated traffic movement operations in the vicinity of each school site. Site visits confirm that there is a high level of unsafe traffic and pedestrian crossing movements accessing Frenchman's Bay Public School and Valley Farm Public School during the morning and afternoon periods. By-law amendments are recommended to alleviate traffic congestion on minor streets and to allow for two-way traffic flow. - Frenchman's Bay Public School On November 1st, 1999, By-law #5570/99 was approved to prohibit on-street parking/stopping along Oklahoma Drive and Breezy Drive in the area of Frenchman's Bay Public School. This by- law was specifically implemented along the north and south sides of Oklahoma Drive and Breezy Drive to protect sightlines and improve vehicle and pedestrian movement operations. On February 4th, 2002, the 'Kiss and Ride' program was implemented to improve the vehicular and pedestrian traffic congestion ftonting and adjacent to the school. The 'Kiss and Ride' Report to Council DES 015 - 02 Date: April 15, 2002 81 Subject: Amendment of Parking By-law 2359/87 Page 2 program has coordinated traffic movements on school property, however, an increased level of vehicular and pedestrian traffic is occurring on City streets near the schooL To improve the safety on Oklahoma Drive and Chipmunk Street, staff proposes a by-law amendment that will prohibit "stopping" along the east side of Chipmunk Street from Oklahoma Drive to Sunrise Avenue. The by-law amendment is to be in effect from 7:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, September 1st to June 30th. - Valley Farm Public School On October 22,2001, Valley Farm Public School implemented the 'Kiss and Ride' program. No- stopping by-laws were implemented to prohibit on street parking and stopping in the vicinity of the school. These prohibitions are regularly enforced and are effective for smooth operation of the new program. Recently, the School Community Council (SCC) has expressed concerns about parking issues beyond the no-stopping zone and has requested staff to investigate the parking conditions. Staff has been monitoring the area in cooperation with By-law Services to enforce the prohibitions. Staff has met on site with SCC members to discuss the concerns and found that an extension of the current by-law is required. The proposed by-law amendment on Pepperwood Gate will prohibit "stopping" along the north and east sides ofPepperwood Gate from Major Oaks Road to 322 meters east of Major Oaks Road. This distance is required to protect sightlines and to increase mobility for emergency service personal and vehicles. The by-law amendment, as proposed, is to be in effect from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, September 1st to June 30th. All parking by-laws fronting or adjacent to school property must receive regular enforcement to be effective. Without monitoring and enforcement of these regulatory by-laws, the Kiss and Ride programs and the operating safety of the roadway will be compromised. - ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2.
