2. Prohibited stopping at all times on the south side of Joicey Boulevard, between Bathurst Street and a point 42 metres east.

3. Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, on the north side of Joicey Boulevard, between a point 30 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 91.5 metres east of Bathurst Street, to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, on the north side of Joicey Boulevard, between a point 26 metres east of Bathurst Street and a point 91.5 metres east of Bathurst Street.

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 the existing parking prohibition on the south side of Joicey Boulevard, between Bathurst Street and a point 42 metres east, be changed to a stopping prohibition.

The proposed amendment will deter patrons of a nearby café from stopping and causing traffic congestion, including obstructing traffic turning from Bathurst Street onto Joicey Boulevard.

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendation 3 will correct this inconsistency.
