Summary
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City Policy or by-laws.
At its meeting on May 24, 2022, North York Community Council requested Transportation Services to report back on the feasibility of allowing the use of the driveway apron for parking purposes on Van Horne Avenue for the homes identified as 488-612 Van Horne Avenue.
For the purposes of this report a "driveway apron" refers to the portion of a driveway on the City Boulevard between the sidewalk and the travelled portion of the roadway. Parking on a residential boulevard within the City of Toronto is regulated through Chapter 918 of the Toronto Municipal Code, and within the provisions of Chapter 918 parking on this portion of the boulevard is not permitted.
Transportation Services does not recommend amending Chapter 918 to allow parking within the driveway apron within the subject section of Van Horne Avenue due to the negative safety and operational impacts that are identified in the report.
