Origin
Summary
Residents exiting the parking garage at 3018 Yonge Street have reduced visibility of southbound traffic on Yonge Street when taller vehicles, such as a cube van or large SUV, are parked just north of the driveway. There are 188 residential units and 212 parking spaces at 3018 Yonge Street so there is a significant number of potential conflicts between exiting vehicles and southbound traffic. Prohibiting stopping on the west side of Yonge Street, north of the driveway would address this matter. Transportation Services supports prohibiting stopping in this area, which would result in the loss of one pay and display parking space.
