Origin

(April 18, 2024) Report from the 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 parking amendments on Lee Centre Drive to improve accessibility and sightlines for pedestrians crossing to/from Lee Centre Park. Installing pedestrian crossing protection would be potentially unsafe and problematic on this street, due to the road alignment and the presence of driveways. However, parking changes can be implemented to improve sightlines and remove parked vehicles from the uncontrolled pedestrian crossing desire lines.

 

These changes will result in the loss of approximately three pay-and-display parking spaces on the south side of the north leg of Lee Centre Drive. However, to add parking in the area and offset the loss of these spaces noted above, Transportation Services has confirmed it is feasible to install approximately three new pay-and-display parking spaces on the east side of the west leg of Lee Centre Drive.
