Item - 2019.EY3.26

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Castleton Avenue, between Henrietta Street and Corbett Avenue, from the requirements of subsection 925‐4B of City of Toronto, Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Etobicoke York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.

Castleton Avenue, between Henrietta Street and Corbett Avenue is signed “No Parking” on both sides of the street. Several residents on this portion of the street have no on-site parking and therefore require access to the residential on-street permit parking program, which is already in place on the remaining sections of Castleton Avenue. I believe it's reasonable to incorporate the block of Castleton Avenue, between Henrietta Street and Corbett Avenue into the permit parking program in order to accommodate resident's long term parking needs.

This motion seeks an exemption from subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, provides that:

Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25% of the total number of residential premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted for a period of two years.
