BACKGROUND: Transportation Planning recently submitted a report DTS-10-158 Highland Crescent On-street Parking, which was discussed on November 8, 2010 at the Development and Technical Services Committee meeting. Following the discussion of the report Council directed staff to: "That consideration of any additional areas for parking prohibition on Highland Crescent be referred to the Council meeting of November 15, 2010; and, That staff investigate and recommend to Council an appropriate amount of space on either side of the driveway at 180 Highland Crescent in which parking must be prohibited on Highland Crescent in order to provide appropriate sight lines for vehicles to safely enter into the right-of-way; and further, That staff re-examine the intersection of Wycliffe Place and Highland Crescent to determine if there is a need to prohibit parking in the vicinity of that intersection to make the intersection safer than what presently exists." REPORT: Further to information provided in DTS-10-158, and as directed by the Development and Technical Services Committee, prohibiting parking for seven (7) metres on either side of the access at 180 Highland Crescent would provide a minimal area of visibility to allow vehicles to exit 180 Highland Crescent. Furthermore, as per the Traffic Control By-law 2007-138 Transportation Planning will ensure that parking is prohibited within the 15 metre corner restriction of the intersection of Wycliffe Place at Highland Crescent. The recommended "No Parking Anytime" area at 180 Highland Crescent would result in a loss of two (2) on-street parking spaces. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The approximate cost for signing including installation is $500 and will be taken from the existing sign maintenance budget.
