Summary

For those residents without Cottages the city's beaches are an important destination. Cherry Beach is one of these very popular destinations for Toronto families, especially during the hot weather.

Access to Cherry Beach remains difficult as there is limited transit service on Cherry Street and none on Unwin Avenue. Also much of the beachfront is on lease to sailing clubs and that includes private parking lots.

Regatta Road is one road on which parking can be accommodated. It is owned by the City and like other parks sites Green P can be introduced.

Currently the signage that says No Parking is covered with foliage and those families who do not own cottages, or who are not members of the sailing clubs who have parked on Regatta road have received $100 tickets for a day at the beach.
