1.0 BACKGROUND
Adela and Guy Pugliese haye requested that the Municipality consider creating a "No
Parking" area along Old Scugog Road and Boundary Road to resolve safety concerns
associated with visibility problems and interference with snow removal.
2.0 COMMENT
2.1 Operational Safety Review Associated With Parking
Old ScuQoa Road, being the major north-south street in Burketon, has a knoll north of
Elliott Road which creates a visibility concern if vehicles are exceeding the posted speed
limit of 50 km/hr. Old Scugog Road in this area has a total surface width of
approximately 7.5 m which includes asphalt gutters reducing the travel surface to
approximately 6.1 m. Due to this narrow pavement width and lack of shoulders, any on-
street parking in this area would obstruct traffic and create increased safety concerns.
Boundarv Road is used as an established snowmobile trail and as such the parking of
vehicles along the roadway can obstruct visibility and hinder snow clearing operations.
The road has a total surface width of 8.5 m which includes asphalt gutters which reduces
the travel width to approximately 6.8 m. Municipal staff have often issued parking
violations for "parking in excess of 3 hours" or "parking so as to obstruct snow clearing
operations". The parking of vehicles with trailers for A TV's has also raised some
concerns.
2.2 Limits of Parking Restrictions
Based on the sight lines created by the knoll on and proximity of the Canadian Pacific
Railway line, it is recommended that Old Scugog Road be posted as "No Parking on both
sides from Boundary Road to a distance of 365 m southerly which is just south of the
railway line. Boundary Road should be posted as "No Parking" on both sides from
Regional Road 57 to 270 m west of Old Scugog Road.

2.3 Jurisdictional Issues - Boundary Road
The Municipality of Clarington, under By-law 93-159, and the Township of Scugog, under
By-law 47-93, entered into a boundary agreement per the Municipal Act R.S.O. 1990.
Schedule A, Section 9 of the Municipal Act deals with the jurisdictional issues related to
traffic by-laws:
'That the by-laws regulating traffic will be applied by the Corporation
having jurisdiction over that portion of the roadway that it has undertaken
to maintain. The adjoining Corporation will be advised in writing of any
proposed traffic by-law amendments for comments for a minimum of thirty
(30) days prior to approval by the governing Council. The adjoining
Corporation will be advised after the by-law has been formally passed by
the proper authorities.
That if the adjoining Corporation, after objecting to a proposed by-law
amendment, fails to agree the same shall be determined by arbitration.
That the Corporation having jurisdiction over a roadway which intersects
the Boundary Road will assume responsibility of the required regulatory,
waming and street name signs of the intersecting roadway."
Under this agreement, Clarington maintains the Boundary Road. If the Municipality of
Clarington does wish to create a "No Parking zone" on the boundary road, Clarington
would need to:
. Advise the Township of Scugog in writing of any proposed traffic
by-law' amendments for comments for a minimum of thirty (30) days
prior to approval by Clarington Council.
. Advise the Township of Scugog after the by-law has been formally
passed by Clarington Council.
