Origin
Summary
My office has received a number of requests for permit parking on this block of Silverthorn Avenue. Although signage indicates permit parking, Transportation Services staff have confirmed this block is not authorized. Rather than remove the signs, I would like to license this block to maintain the permit signage and allow residents the ability to be eligible for permits. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City was unable to conduct the polling process.
Subsection 925-4B, 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
I am seeking an exemption from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking as a means of helping residents of Silverthorn Avenue obtain parking permits.
