SUBJECT: |
Manhattan
Drive Parking Prohibition |
|
|
|
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Schedule 1 of Parking By-law 336-88, be amended to
include a No Parking Prohibition on Manhattan Drive, from the south leg of
Burndenford Crescent to a point 170 metres north to the property line of #176 and #178 Manhattan Drive;
AND THAT the attached by-laws be approved;
AND THAT the Operations and Asset Management Department be directed to
install the appropriate signs upon approval of the attached by-law.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to recommend a No Parking Prohibition on Manhattan Drive.
BACKGROUND:
The Traffic
Division received a request to implement a No Parking Prohibition on Manhattan
Drive, adjacent to Lincoln Park. The
issue is that vehicles are parking on both sides of the street, restricting
two-directional traffic flow to one lane.
OPTIONS/DISCUSSION:
Manhattan Drive is a local collector street located
between McCowan Road and Carlton Road.
Traffic Division reviewed the request and performed a parking
study. Study results showed that parked
vehicles on both sides of the street are compromising two-directional traffic
operations. This is especially
prevalent during softball games during the summer season. By prohibiting
parking on the west side of the street, two-directional traffic will be
maintained.
Notification of the proposed prohibition
has been distributed by mail to the affected residents of Manhattan Drive.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The cost of labour and materials to implement
these parking measures are accounted for in the 2003 budget for the Operations
and Asset Management Department.
BUSINESS UNITS CONSULTED AND AFFECTED:
Subject to Council’s approval the Operations and Asset
Management Department will install the proper signage for the proposed No
Parking Prohibition on Manhattan Drive.
