Transportation Services is recommending that stopping be prohibited at all times on the south side of Glen Park Avenue, between a point 39 metres west of Bathurst Street and a point 31 metres further west.

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendation 2 will correct this inconsistency.

A similar prohibition is requested on both sides of Frontenac Avenue, between Glen Rush Boulevard and a point 45 metres west. Currently parking is allowed for up to three hours on these streets. The proposed stopping prohibition is intended to promote student drop-off and pick-up activity within the parking lot at Yeshiva Yesodei Hatorah School. This will reduce potential on-street conflicts between students and vehicles and promote safe and efficient two-way traffic. During the course of this traffic investigation, it was noted that there is no supporting traffic regulation for the posted stopping prohibition on the east side of Glen Rush Boulevard, between Frontenac Avenue and Shelborne Avenue.
