Item - 2021.TE26.55

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:  

1.  City Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, on the north side of Davisville Avenue, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road.

2.  City Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on the south side of Davisville Avenue, between Yonge Street and a point 214 metres east.

3.  City Council authorize stopping prohibition to be in effect at all times, on the north side of Davisville Avenue, between Yonge Street and a point 231 metres east.

4.  City Council authorize parking prohibition to be in effect at all times, on the north side of Davisville Avenue, between a point 231.5 metres east of Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road.

5.  City Council authorize stopping prohibition in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on the south side of Davisville Avenue, between Yonge Street and a point 214 metres east of Yonge Street.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Davisville Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to prohibit stopping on both sides of Davisville Avenue, adjacent to Davisville Jr. Public School and Spectrum Alternative School (No. 50 Millwood Road).  This is in response to a number of safety improvements identified by the Davisville/Spectrum school community, as part of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Traffic Safety Program.  This proposal will discourage pick-up and drop-off activity during school hours on Davisville Avenue and will enhance safety for pedestrians and other road users.  This will not result in the loss of any parking spaces on Davisville Avenue.

A companion report, "Parking Amendments – Millwood Road (Delegated)" outlines the required delegated parking amendments for locations without TTC Service.
