Origin
Summary
In 2017, Transportation Services recommended that the public lane abutting the north limit of 299 Campbell Avenue be permanently closed. The lane that was closed would be replaced with a new public lane at the south end of the development.
Because of the laneway swap, our office requested that No Parking signage be installed in the new public laneway once the land transfer was complete after residents and businesses voiced their concerns that vehicles were parking illegally in the laneway.
The land exchange was completed on December 4, 2020, so the new laneway is now under City ownership. However, the laneway is more than 6.0m wide and so a by-law must be passed to complete the installation of signage as it is not covered under the general provisions of Chapter 950 prohibiting parking in laneways when authorized signs are in effect.
In order to help regulate parking in the laneway to the benefit of residents and local businesses, I am moving this motion to amend the by-law to have No Parking signs installed in the public laneway adjacent to 299 Campbell Avenue.
