Summary

I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to remove three parking spots and install a “No Standing” zone on the west side of Camberwell Road, between Eglinton Avenue West and a point 41 metres further south.

 

Like many streets in the proximity of the Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road intersection, Camberwell Road experiences significant congestion during peak travel times. The three parking spots currently designated on the west side of Camberwell prevent the simultaneous movement of left and right-hand turning vehicles onto Eglinton, contributing to a bottle neck which extends throughout the neighbourhood.

 

Camberwell residents have reached out to my office requesting the removal of these parking spots as a means of easing the congestion along their street.

 

Following the redesign of the Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road intersection and improvements to traffic flow in the neighbourhood, our office would be pleased to assess the feasibility of re-introducing parking at this location.
