Summary

Transportation Services is requesting approval from Toronto and East York Community Council to amend the on-street parking regulations on Marlborough Avenue, west of Yonge Street and on Price Street, east of Yonge Street in order to help improve traffic operation on these roadways.   Motorists are parking on these roadways near the traffic control signal at Yonge Street negatively impacting traffic flow, site lines and safety for all road users.  Increasing the parking prohibitions on these roadways will help deter parking close to Yonge Street and improve the over-all traffic operation at this signalized intersection.

 

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations on Price Street. Recommendations 6-9 corrects these inconsistencies.
