In conjunction with this change, on-street parking is recommended to be moved from the west side of Macdonell Avenue to the east side between Rideau Avenue and Fern Avenue. Transportation Services is recommending the installation of speed humps on Wabash Avenue between Sorauren Avenue and Macdonell Avenue in the West Parkdale neighbourhood. Staff's assessment indicates the criteria as set out in the updated Traffic Calming Policy has been satisfied. Transportation Services is also recommending the prohibition of on-street parking on the west side of Macdonell Avenue between Wabash Avenue and a point 40 metres south of Wabash Avenue, due to the narrowing of the roadway required to facilitate construction of a missing sidewalk on the east side of Macdonell Avenue. It is also recommended that on-street parking be added on the south side of Wabash Avenue from a point 16 metres west of Macdonell Avenue to a point six (6) metres west of Macdonell Avenue to offset the removal of the noted parking spaces on Macdonell Avenue.
