(February 17, 2009) Report from Director, Transportation Services - Etobicoke York District |
Summary |
The purpose of this report is to respond to the direction of Etobicoke York Community Council, at the meeting of September 14, 2004, “that staff re-examine area traffic patterns, volumes and speeds following build-out and occupancy of the seniors’ retirement and housing facility at 2245 Lawrence Avenue West, and that at that time consider alternative traffic management measures including permanent traffic calming devices”.
A temporary directional diverter was installed at the intersection of Westona Street at Braecrest Drive/driveway to the Villages of Humber Heights in 2005 prior to occupancy of the seniors’ retirement facility. As the Villages of Humber Heights facility is now fully occupied, staff conducted follow-up studies with the directional diverter at the intersection.
Now that studies are complete, and as a result of the previous direction of Community Council, and discussions with the area Councillor and Oakwood Retirement Communities Inc., this report seeks authority to undertake another poll to determine if the residents of both 2245 Lawrence Avenue and the area homes, support retaining the directional diverter at this intersection. |

325 Durie Street - Front Yard Parking |
Committee Decision |
Etobicoke York Community Council:
1. Refused the application for front yard parking at 325 Durie Street. |
Origin |
(April 20, 2009) Report from Director, Transportation Services - Etobicoke York District |
Summary |
The purpose of this report is to inform Etobicoke York Community Council on an application for front yard parking at 325 Durie Street. This application is an appeal and is scheduled as a deputation item.
The owner of 325 Durie Street submitted an application for front yard parking, but was advised that the property is not eligible for front yard parking for a number of reasons. The property is located on the same side of the street as on-street parking permits, there is a 2.22 metre wide shared driveway providing access to rear yard parking, a tree is located on the property that will require removal, and a hydro pole is situated just to the right of the existing shared driveway. In addition, the application does not satisfy the minimum 50% survey response rate that Chapter 918 specifies, although we note that the overwhelming majority of survey respondents oppose the application.
The applicant submitted an appeal requesting an exemption from the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 918 “Parking on Residential Front Yards and Boulevards” to permit front yard parking at this location.
Staff cannot recommend a front yard parking pad at this location since it does not meet the requirements of Chapter 918 of the Toronto Municipal Code; however, if Community Council finds merit in this proposal, it could be approved subject to the conditions described in the “Comments” section of this report. |
