Item - 2025.TE27.60

 The Toronto and East York Community Council:  

1. Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, on the south side of Elm Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and a point 77 metres east, to be in effect between Mount Pleasant Road and a point 82.5 metres east.

2. Amended the existing standing prohibition in effect from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of Elm Avenue, between a point 77 metres east of Mount Pleasant Road and Sherbourne Street North, to be in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, between a point 82.5 metres east of Mount Pleasant Road and Sherbourne Street North.

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 the existing standing prohibition, in effect from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of Elm Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and Sherbourne Street North, be amended to include the 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday time period.  This will deter parking during the morning peak hours to help improve unobstructed two-way traffic flow on this roadway, particularly during the drop-off times at Branksome Hall private school.

Transportation Services is also recommending expanding the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of Elm Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and Sherbourne Street North, further east.  This parking amendment will help deter parking in the vicinity of the driveway that services Clifton Manor Apartments (5 and 11 Elm Avenue) to improve sightlines and allow unobstructed access/egress for residents.
