Origin
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 parking be prohibited at all times on the east side of Homestead Road, between Coronation Drive and a point 28 metres south of Skelding Court. This section of Homestead Road does not currently have a sidewalk on either side. Accordingly, pedestrians in this section must walk along the side of the street. A continuous sidewalk is planned over the entire length of Homestead Road; however, this work cannot be delivered in the near future.
The east side parking prohibition is recommended as an immediate measure to provide sufficient walking space for pedestrians. It will improve sightlines for motorists and prevent pedestrians from having to walk between, and around, parked vehicles. There will be a loss of approximately 35 on-street parking spaces.
