Community Council Decision
North York Community Council:
1. Prohibited stopping at all times on both sides of Dufresne Court (north leg), between Grenoble Drive and a point nine metres west.

Origin
Summary
Dufresne Court is a local road in the Flemingdon area of Ward 16. It is a court road that connects to Grenoble Drive to allow residents access to a residential building and townhomes. Currently, parking is allowed on one side of the road around the centre island. Additionally, there are stop signs at the north and south entrances of the road to control traffic.
Residents have come forward to share sightline concerns as vehicles park right up to the stop sign. After consideration and conversation with residents and staff, we determined that it is best to prohibit stopping nine metres before the stop sign with a “No Stopping” by-law.
Reasons for this implementation:
- Further discourage parking within nine-metres of both the north and south stop signs of Dufresne Court with a harsher fine;
- To create a safer intersection for cars and pedestrians.
