PREPARED BY:

DATE OF MEETING:

2006-Apr-4

 

 

 

 

SUBJECT:

Main Street Unionville Parking Regulations


 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the report entitled “Main Street Unionville Parking Regulations” dated April 4, 2006 be received;

 

And that the pilot project be considered a success and that the parking regulations on Main Street Unionville as set out in the by-law continue to be enforced.

 

PURPOSE:

This report outlines the results of the pilot project for parking regulations on Main Street Unionville.

 

BACKGROUND:

On May 10, 2005, Council approved parking regulations requested by the Unionville BIA for Main Street Unionville as a pilot project (Attachment A).  The Unionville BIA is satisfied with the results of the pilot project and is requesting that the parking regulations remain in place.

 

OPTIONS/DISCUSSION:

The parking regulations restrict parking on the boulevard on the west side of Main Street Unionville during evenings and weekends from April to October.  Based on feedback from their members, the Unionville BIA is satisfied that these regulations have provided for an improved environment on Main Street Unionville.  Approximately 1200 parking tickets have been issued by by-law enforcement staff.  One of the initial concerns was the confusion related to the signs which identified both the hours of prohibition and the months during which the prohibitions are in effect.  In order to reduce this confusion, the signs will only be displayed during the months when the prohibition is in effect. 

 

BUSINESS UNITS CONSULTED AND AFFECTED:

There are no operational issues identified by either the Operations Department or By-law Enforcement.
