Origin
Summary
My office has received several concerns of safety around the recent removal of the parking
prohibition (No Parking 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday) by-law on the north side of Anndale Drive from Tradewind Avenue to the east end of Anndale Drive.
Anndale Drive has high vehicular traffic as well as pedestrian traffic. Safety concerns due to the lack of sidewalks on Anndale Drive is compounded by the presence of parked cars (subject to the Citywide 3 hour maximum parking) which narrows the street, making it more dangerous for pedestrians to navigate. During school hours, many students walk along this street from Avondale Public School. Residents have also experienced parked cars encroaching driveways and blocking access for garbage collection.
A community survey found that majority of the affected residents would like to restore the parking prohibition. To improve pedestrian safety, I am moving forward with restoring the parking prohibition (No Parking 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday) on the north side of Anndale Drive, between Bonnington Place and the east end of Anndale Drive.
