Origin
Summary
The Provincially Significant Employment Zone 9, Keele – Dufferin, is home to some of the largest employers in Ward 6 and the City of Toronto. A multitude of business operate every day from the area, including All Season Fencing LTD and Gertex Solutions. These two companies are experts on the fence manufacturing and industrial packaging fields respectively, employing hundreds of workers.
Both companies, located along the west side of Flint Rd. have experienced problematic parking behaviour across their properties. The lack of proper signage and regulations have allowed drivers to park and on instances, abandon commercial vehicles along the east side of Flint Rd, regularly blocking access into and out of the multiple driveways servicing the addresses of 350 and 400 Flint Rd. These parked vehicles also constantly block the suggested bike routes along Flint Rd.
It is because of the previously highlighted reasons that a change on on-street parking regulations, along the east side of Flint Rd., have been requested by the aforementioned business owners and evaluated by Transportation Staff.
