The Scarborough Community Council:

1. Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the north side of Fairfax Crescent, between a point 415 metres west of Warden Avenue and Clairlea Crescent, to be in effect at all times between a point 505 metres west of Warden Avenue and Clairlea Crescent.

2. Prohibited stopping in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive, on the north side of Fairfax Crescent, between a point 415 metres west of Warden Avenue and a point 90 metres further west.

3. Prohibited parking in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. of the following next day, from September 1 of one year to June 30 of the next following year, inclusive, on the north side of Fairfax Crescent, between a point 415 metres west of Warden Avenue and a point 90 metres further west.

This proposed motion is intended to address pedestrian safety concerns for students and residents. The subject area is a tight cul-de-sac affecting six houses near a local high school. The high volume of student drop-offs and students parking their vehicles in the cul-de-sac obscure site lines for residents backing out their vehicles from adjacent driveways. The proposed bylaw amendments will add an important safety mechanism for pedestrians.
