Origin
Summary
Lisgar Street residents have contacted my office regarding a lack of parking on their street. Residents suggested affixing parking to the west side of the Lisgar Street, between Dundas Street West and Afton Avenue, between December 1st and March 31st instead of on the east side of the street. Residents claimed that this switch would provide more parking during the winter months for residents. I brought this matter to the attention of Permit Parking staff, who confirmed that there will in fact be an additional 5 parking spaces, should parking be affixed to the west side of the street during the winter months. This change proposed in this motion will alleviate parking pressures made challenging by snow.
