Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council prohibit stopping at all times on the east side of Jones Avenue, between Ravina Crescent and a point 20 metres south.
2. City Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the west side of Jones Avenue, between Harcourt Avenue and a point 30.5 metres north.
Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Jones Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is recommending that the existing parking prohibition on the east side of Jones Avenue, between Ravina Crescent and a point 20 metres further south, be changed to a stopping prohibition. The proposed amendment will further deter parking at this location and will improve sight lines for drivers making southbound and northbound turns from Ravina Crescent.
During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between the posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendation 2 will correct this inconsistency.
