Item - 2020.NY20.16

North York Community Council:

1. Amended the existing maximum one-hour parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, on the west side of Hilltop Road, between Wembley Road and Old Forest Hill Road, to be in effect from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday.

2. Prohibited parking from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Hilltop Road, between Wembley Road and Old Forest Hill Road.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services is recommending that parking be prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Hilltop Road, between Wembley Road and Old Forest Hill Road. The proposed parking prohibition will replace the existing one-hour maximum parking regulation on this section of Hilltop Road during this time period. This change was requested by residents to improve sight lines when exiting their driveways. Parked vehicles on the west side of the street combined with the slope of the roadway obstruct visibility of southbound traffic on Hilltop Road.

The proposed parking prohibition will result in a clear sight line for vehicles exiting driveways on the west side of Hilltop Road. It will also be consistent with the parking regulations on Hilltop Road, north of Old Forest Hill Road. It will result in the loss of six on-street parking spaces between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday.
