Origin

(June 2, 2023) Report from the From: Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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 stopping be prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south and west sides of Mason Boulevard, between De Vere Gardens and Harley Avenue. A similar stopping prohibition is recommended on the east side of Mason Boulevard, between McGlashan Road and a point 15 metres south. Currently parking is prohibited in these areas.

The proposed stopping prohibitions will alleviate traffic congestion and resulting safety concerns caused by student drop-off and pick-up activity at Loretto Abbey Catholic Secondary School, located on the east side of Mason Boulevard. There is adequate space on the east side of Mason Boulevard to accommodate student drop-off and pick-up activity.

During the course of the investigation it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendations 6 and 7 will correct this inconsistency.
