On the agenda

As the city filed it

I am submitting this parking amendment change to Community Council via a letter, rather than by staff recommendation, as this is a time sensitive situation that has been brought to my attention late last week. A large number of residents, permit parking holders, have received parking tickets overnight for parking in a previously "permit parking only" area on their street. Unbeknownst to them, after years of parking there, the signage got changed to "No stopping," as per an old City of York by-law that was actually never appropriately signed on the street.

Traffic Operations and Signs & Markings staff have provided me with background information and a recommendation to adjust the by-law to permit parking only on the entire east side of the block. The west side of the street will be getting a "No stopping" prohibition, due to the presence of the Humewood Community School. This will ensure proper sightlines for students and staff crossing the street there, while providing the same sort of parking on the east side that the local residents have been accustomed to for decades.

Staff recommended

Councillor Matlow recommends that: Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing stopping prohibition in effect at all times, on the east side of Humewood Drive, from Valewood Avenue to a point 60 metres north. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit stopping at all times, on the west side of Humewood Drive, from Maplewood Avenue to a point 68.9 metres north of Valewood Avenue.
