Item - 2020.TE20.59

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council prohibit parking at all times on the east side of Dovercourt Road, between a point 118 metres south of Hallam Street and a point 29 metres further south.

Area residents contacted my office because of the difficulty they are experiencing exiting the public lane bounded by Dovercourt Road, Delaware Avenue, Hallam Street and Shanly Street. These residents reported that their line of sight is being blocked by vehicles parking near the entrance of the public lane. Customers from the car rental company would occasionally use the entrance of the public lane to park, compounding the challenges. This creates a potentially unsafe condition and makes ingress/egress difficult for residents. I reached out to Traffic Operations and asked them to review these issues and make recommendations to address them. As a result of the investigation, and after having consulted with area residents about the proposal, I am recommending the removal of 1.5 parking spaces along Dovercourt Road, as outlined below.
