City of Toronto
REPORT No. 3
OF THE ETOBICOKE COMMUNITY COUNCIL
(from its meeting on February 17, 1999,
submitted by Councillor Elizabeth Brown, Chair)
As Considered by
The Council of the City of Toronto
on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999
1
Parking Prohibitions: Kingsmill Road (Kingsway-Humber)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the report (February 17, 1999) from the Director,
Transportation Services, District 2.
The Etobicoke Community Council reports, for the information of Council, having requested the Toronto Police Service,
22 Division, to monitor and enforce the parking prohibition at this location.
The Etobicoke Community Council submits the following report (February 17, 1999) from the Director,
Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To confirm the appropriateness of retaining the current parking regulations on Kingsmill Road.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the current parking prohibitions on Kingsmill Road be retained; and
(2)the parking meters on the west side of Kingsmill Road north of Bloor Street West continue to operate 9:00 a.m. - 6:00
p.m., Monday to Saturday.
Background:
In the fall of 1998, Works and Emergency Services, Etobicoke District, in conjunction with Parks and Recreation Services,
Etobicoke District, undertook intersection improvements on Kingsmill Road north of Bloor Street West. These
improvements entailed the clear designation of the travelled portion of the road and the improvement of the adjacent
boulevard areas from rough asphalt to sodding. As part of the grass boulevard development, Parks and Recreation Services
incorporated the planting of trees. To accomplish the intersection improvement and the aesthetic appearance of the road,
eight (8) angle parking spaces on the west side of the street were re-configured to a parallel condition incorporating three
(3) parking spaces. Based on the usage, it was determined that the angle parking could be reconfigured to parallel parking
without causing any great hardship to the immediate businesses and/or residences.
In October 1998, the Transportation Services Division received correspondence from Mr. Arthur Timms, Ontario
Association of Landscape Architects, 2842 Bloor Street West, stating the negative impact the reduction in the metered
parking has had on their business (Attachment No. 1). Correspondence dated October 26, 1998, also received from
Ms. D. J. Miller and Mr. Glenn Martin, 3 Kingsmill Road, requesting the extension of the current "No Parking Anytime"
prohibition on the east side of the street and proposing that the three (3) parking meters on the west side of Kingsmill Road
be operational on a 24-hour basis (Attachment No. 2). A map of the area is Attachment No. 3.
Comments:
Kingsmill Road is a two-lane roadway. A "No Parking Anytime" prohibition is in effect on the east side of the street from
Bloor Street West to a point 36.5 metres north thereof, and on the west side of the street from a point 45.5 metres north of
Bloor Street West to King Georges Road. A "No Parking, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday" prohibition is
currently in effect on the east side of Kingsmill Road from a point 45.5 metres north of Bloor Street West to
King Georges Road. At all other times parking is permitted on the east sides of the street from a point 45.5 metres north of
Bloor Street West to King Georges Road. Three (3) parallel parking spaces occupy the area on the west side of Kingsmill
Road from Bloor Street West to a point 45.5 metres north thereof, and are operational Monday to Saturday, 9:00 a.m. -
6:00 p.m.
Conclusions:
The residents request to have the three (3) meters operate on a 24-hour basis has been carefully considered by staff. In view
of the fact that the parking meters on the west side of Kingsmill Road are minimally used, staff has concluded there is no
justification for 24-hour meters.

Introduction of One Hour Parking Restriction:
Royal York Court (Kingsway-Humber)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the report (February 17, 1999) from the Director,
Transportation Services, District 2.
The Etobicoke Community Council reports, for the information of Council, having requested the Director, Transportation
Services, District 2, to report back to the Etobicoke Community Council in six months, with respect to the effect of the
parking prohibition on Royal York Court.
The Etobicoke Community Council submits the following report (February 17, 1999) from the Director,
Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To propose the introduction of a one hour parking restriction on the south side of Royal York Court between Royal York
Road and the east limit of the road.
Funding Sources:
The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are contained in the 1999 Transportation
Services Division's Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)parking be restricted to one hour on the south side of Royal York Court between Royal York Road and the east limit
of the road; and
(2)the appropriate by-laws (Attachments Nos. 1 and 2) be amended accordingly.
Council Reference:
At its meeting held on May 27, 1998, Etobicoke Community Council received correspondence addressed to Councillor
Gloria Lindsay Luby (Attachment No. 3) inquiring about the feasibility of a short-term parking prohibition on Royal York
Court. A map of the area is Attachment No. 4.
A report was submitted to the September 16, 1998 meeting of the Etobicoke Community Council (Attachment No. 5) to
propose the introduction of a one hour parking restriction on the north side of Royal York Court between Royal York Road
and the east limit of the road. Staff had determined that parking on one side of the road would not impede emergency
vehicles and that it would not obstruct traffic flow. This report was deferred pending further consultation with the
residents.
At its meeting held on October 14, 1998, Etobicoke Community Council requested that staff poll the residents to obtain
their views on this matter.
Comments:
In response to the Council directive, staff polled the 302 affected residents of Royal York Court to obtain their opinion on
this proposal (Attachment No. 6). There were 150 respondents to the poll: 78 were in favour of a one-hour parking
allowance on Royal York Court while 72 respondents were opposed to the proposed one-hour parking allowance on Royal
York Court. Of those in favour of a parking limitation on Royal York Court, 61 respondents favoured the introduction of a
one-hour limitation on the south side of Royal York Court, while 17 respondents preferred the north side of Royal York
Court.
Royal York Court is a two-lane roadway; parking is prohibited on both sides of the street between Royal York Road and
the east limit of the road. Land use in the immediate area is high density residential. Residents and visitors of
1137/1139/1141 Royal York Road must use Royal York Court to access their parking facilities. The parking facilities for
these apartment buildings are located on the south side of Royal York Court. This poses a great inconvenience when
loading or unloading elderly passengers, groceries or heavy items.
The implementation of this parking restriction on Royal York Court would allow for short-term parking when loading or
unloading goods and passengers.
Conclusions:
Based on the staff review of this matter, the introduction of a one hour parking restriction on the south side of Royal York
Court would not impede emergency vehicles, nor would it affect traffic flow on the roadway or compromise traffic safety.

Introduction of On-Street Parking Permits
Hartismere Court (Rexdale-Thistletown)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 17, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To propose the introduction of On-Street Parking Permits on Hartismere Court, between its east and west intersections
with Collingdale Road.
Funding Sources:
The funds associated with the installation of the appropriate regulatory signage are allocated in the Transportation Services
Division's Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the On-Street Parking Permit Program be introduced on the south side of Hartismere Court, between its east and west
intersections with Collingdale Road;
(2)parking be prohibited on the north side of Hartismere Court, between its east and west intersections with Collingdale
Road (Attachment No. 1); and
(3)the appropriate by-laws (Attachments Nos. 2 and 3) be introduced.
Background:
The Transportation Services Division received correspondence dated September 11, 1998, from Mr. Patrique Malaise of 15
Hartismere Court, and a petition submitted on behalf of the residents of Hartismere Court, requesting on-street parking
permits for residents of Hartismere Court (Attachment No. 4). Mr. Malaise repeated his request for permit parking in
correspondence dated August 31, 1998, to Councillor Bruce Sinclair (Attachment No. 5).
Discussion:
We responded to these requests by polling the residents of the 11 existing homes on Hartismere Court (Attachment No. 6).
There were 3 residents who responded to our survey questionnaire, and 2 favoured our proposal for on-street parking
permits on the south side of Hartismere Court, between the east and west limits of the road.
Hartismere Court is a two-lane local road. Single-family residential properties abut both sides of the street. We currently
allow parking on both sides of Hartismere Court for a maximum of three hours; however, many residents complain of
inadequate on-site parking, and there has been a history of overtime parking by nonresidents that periodic police
enforcement of the three-hour limit has been unable to correct.
In addition to parking permits and the prohibition of vehicle parking on the north side of Hartismere Court, parking must
also be prohibited around the perimeter of the centre island at the west end of Hartismere Court. This will be done under
section 240-7(B)(8) of the Etobicoke Municipal Code, and does not require the preparation of a separate by-law.
Conclusion:
The On-Street Parking Permit Program described in Section 183 of the Etobicoke Municipal Code provides alternative
parking for residents who do not have, or cannot provide, adequate parking on their property. The program has met with
the approval of those residents that it directly affects, and should continue to be introduced through a process of public
consultation.
Based on the staff investigation of this matter, and the favourable consensus to the petition submitted by residents of
Hartismere Court, Council's endorsement of the recommendations contained in this report would be appropriate.

Introduction of Parking Prohibition:
Mattari Court (Rexdale-Thistletown)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 17, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To propose the introduction of a parking prohibition for both sides of Mattari Court.
Funding Sources:
The funds associated with the introduction of the appropriate regulatory signage are contained in the Transportation
Services Division's Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)parking be prohibited on both sides of Mattari Court between Humber College Boulevard and the north limit of the
road, between 8:00 a.m., to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday; and
(2)the appropriate by-law (Attachment No.1) be amended accordingly.
Background:
The Transportation Services Division is in receipt of a petition from the residents of Mattari Court (Attachment No. 2)
requesting the introduction of a daytime parking prohibition onto this street.
At the community meeting held on November 3, 1998, staff explained the necessity for implementing a "No Parking
Anytime" prohibition at the entrance to Mattari Court at Humber College Boulevard and at the terminus for reasons of
emergency access.
In response to this request, staff polled the 46 affected residents of Mattari Court, to obtain their opinion on the proposal
outlined in the petition (Attachment No. 3). There were 24 respondents to the poll: 17 respondents were in favour of the
proposal and 7 opposed. A map of the area is Attachment No. 4.
Comments:
Mattari Court is a two-lane roadway. Parking is currently permitted on both sides of the street for a maximum period of
three hours. Land use in the immediate vicinity is predominantly residential.
There are many factors contributing to the high incidence of on-street parking in this area. Approximately ten years ago,
daytime parking regulations were introduced on the residential streets on the west side of Highway No. 27, in the
immediate area around Humber College, North Campus. Students of the college parked their vehicles on these streets
throughout the day to avoid paying parking fees on campus. A staff review of this issues clearly indicates that daytime
parking on Mattari Court is a problem. Periodic police enforcement initiatives have been ineffective in rendering a
long-term solution to this problem.
Conclusions:
Based on the staff examination of this matter and the favourable consensus of the affected residents, Council's
endorsement of the recommendation contained herein would be appropriate.

Traffic Concerns, Lake Shore Boulevard West at
Forty First Street/Brow Drive (Lakeshore-Queensway)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 17, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To address the concern of Long Branch Go Train users with respect to the traffic volumes within the intersection of Lake
Shore Boulevard West and Forty First Street/Brow Drive.
Funding Sources:
There are no funding implications associated with this report.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that traffic signals not be installed at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West and
Forty First Street/Brow Drive.
Background:
The Transportation Services Division - District 2, received correspondence/petition (Attachment No. 1) from Ms. Caroline
S. Conklin, 61 Thirty Ninth Street, to investigate the feasibility of installing traffic control signals at the intersection of
Lake Shore Boulevard West and Forty First Street/Brow Drive. A map of the area is Attachment No. 2.
A historical review revealed that the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Forty First Street/Brow Drive had
been investigated for traffic control signals in 1996. Traffic signals could not be justified at that time due to the
non-compliance of the minimum requirements to warrant traffic control signals. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the
near proximity of the existing traffic signals, at the TTC loop, does not favour the installation of traffic control signals.
Currently, stop controls are located on the north and south approaches to the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West on
Forty First Street/Brow Drive.
To address Ms. Conklin's concerns the following information was obtained:
(1)24-hour automatic traffic counts at the north and south approaches to the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West
and Forty First Street/Brow Drive;
(2)Manual Turning Movement count at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West at Forty First Street/Brow Drive
for the hours of 6:00 a.m.- 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m.- 12 noon and 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.; and
(3) Review of the three year (1995-1997) collision history.
Comments:
The results of an eight-hour traffic control signal study indicate that the minimum technical requirements for the
installation of traffic control signals are not satisfied at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Forty First
Street/Brow Drive. The following table summarized the technical warrant results:
|
Warrant |
Compliance |
A |
Minimum Vehicular Volume |
66% |
B |
Delay to Cross Traffic |
76% |
C |
Collision Hazard |
26% |
For traffic control signals to satisfy the minimum requirements, any one of warrants A, B or C must be satisfied to 100
percent or any two of the three warrants must be satisfied to 80 percent. Therefore, the vehicle volume at the intersection of
Lake Shore Boulevard West and Forty First Street/Brow Drive do not warrant the installation of traffic control signals.
The spacing to the pedestrian signal at the TTC loop (138 metres) is significantly less than the desired minimum spacing of
215 metres between traffic control devices. This minimum spacing is the distance at which motorists can detect a signal or
hazard and react in a safe manner. Additionally, the minimum spacing is also necessary to prevent queued vehicles from
interfering with cross-street traffic when the traffic signal right-of-way changes.
Conclusions:
The installation of traffic control signals are not warranted at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard and Forty First
Street/Brow Drive, at this time.

Traffic Concerns: Cliveden Avenue (Lakeshore-Queensway)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the report (February 17, 1999) from the Director,
Transportation Services, District 2.
The Etobicoke Community Council reports, for the information of Council, having requested the Director, Transportation
Services, District 2, to examine the proposals put forward by the residents and the Community Council, and report back to
the next meeting of the Etobicoke Community Council.
The Etobicoke Community Council submits the following report (February 17, 1999) from the Director,
Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To address the concerns of area residents with respect to vehicles travelling the wrong way on the one-way section of
Cliveden Avenue between Bloor Street West and Meadowvale Drive.
Funding Sources:
The funds associated with the installation of regulatory signs are contained in the Transportation Services Division's
Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)a right-turn prohibition sign be erected on Bloor Street West, at Cliveden Avenue, for eastbound traffic; and
(2)left-turn prohibition signs be erected at the intersection of Cliveden Avenue and the laneway south of Bloor Street
West.
Council Reference:
The Etobicoke Community Council, at its meeting held December 9, 1998, received correspondence (Attachment No.1)
from Mr. and Mrs. R. McDonald in regard to their concerns with respect to motorists travelling the wrong way on the
one-way section of Cliveden Avenue between Bloor Street West and Meadowvale Drive. This matter was referred to the
Director of Transportation Services - District 2 for review in consultation with staff of the Toronto Police Service, 22
Division - Traffic Response Section, and report back to Community Council. A map of the area is Attachment No. 2.
Comments and Discussion:
Cliveden Avenue, between Meadowvale Drive and Bloor Street West, is designated by by-law as a one-way street
northbound. Traffic counts recorded on this section of roadway during the week of December 14, 1998, revealed an
average daily traffic volume of approximately 400 vehicles/day.
A site investigation at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Cliveden Avenue revealed that the signage associated with
the one-way operation is adequate. One-Way Arrow and Entry Prohibited signs are located on both corners of the
intersection of Cliveden Avenue and Bloor Street West.
Furthermore, a No Left Turn sign for westbound traffic, is located on the centre median at the west approach to the
intersection. Although turning prohibition signs are not legally required on the cross street (Bloor Street West), the
installation of a right-turn prohibition sign on Bloor Street West, at Cliveden Avenue, would provide additional signage for
eastbound traffic.
A site investigation at the intersection of Cliveden Avenue and the laneway south of Bloor Street West revealed a missing
One-Way Arrow sign on the west side of Cliveden Avenue, opposite the laneway. This sign has since been reinstated. The
installation of left-turn prohibition signs on the south side of the laneway, east of Cliveden Avenue, and on the west side of
Cliveden Avenue, opposite the laneway, would provide additional signage for westbound motorists.
Transportation staff carefully considered the request by Mr. and Mrs. McDonald to have physical changes made to the
south approach of the intersection of Bloor Street West and Cliveden Avenue, in order to deter illegal wrong way entry.
This assessment concluded that the proposed physical changes would not be appropriate at this time and that it may in
actual fact cause more congestion and confusion at the intersection at the detriment of safe traffic movement. It is staff's
opinion that the additional signage recommended in this report would be effective in mitigating this problem.
Staff of the Toronto Police Service, 22 Division - Traffic Response Section, have indicated that they have received a copy
of a letter from an area resident regarding wrong-way traffic on Cliveden Avenue. In response to this letter, periodic
enforcement has been done on Cliveden Avenue. Although the number of infractions occurring during these enforcement
periods has been extremely low, the Traffic Response Unit will continue to monitor this area.
Conclusions:
Turning prohibition signs on Bloor Street West and in the laneway south of Bloor Street West will provide additional
signage to emphasize the one-way operation on Cliveden Avenue between Meadowvale Drive and Bloor Street West.
Continual periodic police enforcement will help in eliminating the problem of wrong-way traffic on this section of
roadway.

Traffic Concerns: Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights Road
(Markland-Centennial)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 17, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To propose the installation of all-way stop controls at the intersection of Lloyd Manor Road and
North Heights Road.
Funding Sources:
The funds associated with the installation of regulatory signs are contained in the Transportation Service Division's
Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)all-way stop controls be installed at the intersection of Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights Road; and
(2)the attached by-laws (Attachments Nos. 1 and 2) receive Council approval.
Background:
The Transportation Services Division - District 2, received correspondence (Attachments Nos. 3 and 4) from Mr. Mitch
Stambler, Manager - Service Planning, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), and Mr. Arthur Keyes, 136 Prince George
Drive, requesting an investigation into the feasibility of installing all-way stop controls at the intersection of Lloyd Manor
Road and North Heights Road. These requests are the result of the complainants' concerns with respect to the geometry of
the intersection of Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights Road. A map of the area is Attachment No. 5.
The intersection of Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights is classified as a skewed (oblique) type, meaning the cross-roads
intersect each other at an angle of 70 degrees or less. Site lines, as a result of this intersection configuration, are less than
adequate for northbound and southbound motorists at the approaches to North Heights Road.
Lloyd Manor Road, the stop street, is classified as a secondary collector roadway. The legal speed limit on this roadway is
50 km/h. TTC bus stops are located on Lloyd Manor Road at the south-east and north-west corners of Lloyd Manor Road
and North Heights Road. North Heights Road is classified as a local roadway with a legal speed limit of 50 km/h.
Comments and Discussion:
To assess traffic conditions at the intersection, the following information was obtained:
(1)manual approach counts conducted at the intersection of Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights Road;
(2)review of the three year collision history; and
(3)intersection description, including existing parking restrictions, sidewalks and adjacent land use.
The following warrants need to be met in order to justify the installation of all-way stop controls on roads and streets
considered to be neither arterial, nor major collector streets:
(a)total vehicle volume on all intersection approaches must exceed 350 for the highest hour recorded; and
(b)a volume split should not exceed 65/35 for a four-way control.
(1)Manual Turning Movement Count.
The results of the all-way stop study conducted at Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights Road on
Thursday, December 3, 1998, are summarized in the following table:

It is evident from the traffic count data that the heavier traffic flow at the intersection of Lloyd Manor Road and North
Heights Road is on the stop street (Lloyd Manor Road). Although the total intersection volume fails to meet the volume
warrant, the installation of all-way stop controls at this intersection would improve traffic safety, given the geometry of this
intersection.
(2)Collision Analysis.
A review of the collision history for the last three years reveals seven angle type collisions have occurred at the intersection
of Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights Road. One of these collisions did involve a TTC bus.
(3)Intersection Description.
Parking Regulations: Three hours maximum on both roadways.
Lane Configuration: One lane in each direction.
Sidewalks:Both sides of Lloyd Manor Road and the south side of North Heights Road
Land Use:R2 Residential (Second Density)
Conclusions:
Traffic volumes at the intersection of Lloyd Manor Road and North Heights Road do not meet the minimum requirements
of the warrants for all-way stop controls. However, given the geometry and collision history of the intersection, the
installation of all-way stop controls would improve traffic safety.

Traffic Concerns: Winterton Drive at Streatham Place
(Markland-Centennial)
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 17, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To propose the installation of U-turn prohibitions on Winterton Drive and Streatham Place.
Funding Sources:
The Funds associated with the installation of the regulatory signage as contained in the Transportation Services Division's
Operating Budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) U-turns be prohibited for eastbound and westbound traffic on Winterton Drive between Martin Grove Road and a
point 45 metres west of Winsland Drive;
(2) U-turns be prohibited for southbound traffic on Streatham Place from Winterton Drive and a point 30 metres south
thereof; and
(3) the attached by-laws (Attachment No. 1) receive Council approval.
Background:
The Transportation Services Division - District 2 received correspondence (Attachment No. 2) from Councillor Dick
O'Brien, Markland-Centennial, forwarding the concerns of Mr. Felix Almeida with respect to the number of U-turns
occurring at the intersection of Winterton Drive and Streatham Place. A map of the area is Attachment No. 3.
To address Mr. Almeida's concerns the following information was obtained:
(1)observations during the morning peak (8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.) on Winterton Drive along the frontage of Martin Grove

(2)review of the three year (1995-1997) accident history.

(1)During the morning peak (8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.) it was observed that:
(a)20 eastbound vehicles completed U-turns within the intersection of Winterton Drive and Streatham Place;
(b)20 westbound vehicles completed U-turns within the intersection of Winterton Drive and Streatham Place; and
(c) 18 vehicles completed U-turns on Streatham Place south of Winterton Drive.
Vehicles completing U-turns within the intersection of Winterton Drive and Streatham Place often disrupted traffic flow on
Winterton Drive.
(2)A review of the accident history for Winterton Drive and Streatham Place revealed that there have been no reportable
collisions involving U-turning vehicles in the past three years (1995-1997).
Conclusions:
The introduction of U-turn prohibitions for eastbound and westbound traffic on Winterton Drive and for southbound traffic
on Streatham Place would improve traffic flow on Winterton Drive and Streatham Place.

Set Fine Application - Parking Permits
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, amended this Clause, by adding thereto the following:
"It is further recommended that Section 183.51 of the Municipal Code of the former City of Etobicoke be deleted and
replaced by the following:
'183.51Any person who contravenes a section of this by-law is guilty of an offense and subject to a penalty as provided
for under the Provincial Offences Act.' ")
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 17, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To propose the amendment of Chapter 183-51 of the Municipal Code for the former City of Etobicoke.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the appropriate by-law (Attachment No. 1) be amended accordingly; and
(2)the City Solicitor be requested to submit the appropriate set fine application to the Office of the Attorney General of
Ontario for the contravention of this by-law.
Council Reference:
Council, at its meeting held on November 25, 26, and 27, 1998, approved and incorporated the following Clause into
Chapter 183, Article V, of the Municipal Code for the former City of Etobicoke (Attachment No. 2):
"No person shall park on the streets and at locations and times set out in Schedule A unless a valid permit is displayed
according to the terms of this Article."
Comments:
On February 3, 1999, the City Solicitor was informed by the Ministry of the Attorney General, that By-law No 1989-261,
Chapter 183-51, as it currently reads is not sufficient as a general offence section that will permit approval of the set fine
application. The section reads as follows:
"Any person violating the provisions of this Article is guilty of an offense and on conviction is liable to a penalty of $80.00
exclusive of costs, and the remaining provisions of part XXI of the Municipal Act shall apply".
Mr. Michael Fairburn, Crown Counsel, Ministry of the Attorney General, has directed that By-Law No. 1989-261, Chapter
183-51 of the Municipal Code of the former City of Etobicoke, be amended as set out below.
"Any person who contravenes a section of this Article is guilty of an offense and subject to penalty as provided for under
the Provincial Offenses Act".
Conclusions:
In consultation with the City Solicitor, staff has concluded that the change being requested by the Attorney General is
indeed appropriate and that the by-law should be amended to reflect the suggested wording of the Attorney General.
Accordingly, the enactment of this amendment to Chapter 183 of the Municipal Code of the former City of Etobicoke, will
ensure that the fine structure for this by-law meets with the necessary criteria to receive approval from the Office of the
Attorney General of Ontario.

Outdoor Lights - Request for Nuisance By-law
Community of Etobicoke - Wards 2, 3, 4 and 5
(City Council on March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 8, 1999) from the
Director of Municipal Licensing and Standards, Urban Planning & Development Services:
Purpose:
To report on a request to give consideration to enacting a nuisance by-law to control the location of spotlights and security
lighting.
Financial Implications:
There are no financial implications for the City.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division of Urban Planning and Development Services give consideration to
including a clause to regulate nuisance outdoor lighting in a Property Standards by-law; and
(2)the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.
Background:
At its meeting held on December 9, 1998, the Etobicoke Community Council had before it a communication dated
November 6, 1998, from the President of Maryla Developments requesting consideration of the enactment of a 'nuisance
by-law' to control the location of spotlights and security lighting. The Etobicoke Community Council referred the matter to
the Deputy Chief Building Official, Etobicoke District, for a report. Subsequently, the matter was referred to the Municipal
Licensing and Standards Division for submission of a report to the Etobicoke Community Council inasmuch as the subject
matter is within the Division's jurisdiction.
Discussion:
The request for a by-law regulating the placement of outdoor lighting has come about due to a problem concerning lighting
recently installed on the property municipally known as 33 Lakeshore Drive in the Community of Etobicoke. Apparently
an outdoor security light fixture has been installed in such a way that it shines into the living area of residents in the
building on an abutting property municipally known as 41 Lakeshore Drive. A complaint has been filed with the Municipal
Licensing and Standards Division. The Etobicoke Municipal Code does not regulate the placement of outdoor lighting,
nevertheless, the area inspector is attempting to negotiate a solution to the problem. In the interim, staff is working on
consolidating the property maintenance by-laws of the former municipalities. It is anticipated that the new by-law will be
ready for submission to Council in the spring/summer of this year. Should the by-law be approved, the regulation would
apply retroactively and, if necessary, could be used to resolve the current dispute.
Conclusions:
The request to implement control over the placement of outdoor lighting so as to eliminate a nuisance for abutting property
owners has merit and it would be appropriate to include a regulation to that effect in the City's new Property Standards
by-law.
