Origin
Summary
I have often heard from constituents north of Danforth Avenue who are experiencing difficulty in finding permit parking near their homes. The need for improved parking options is based on the area’s existing boundary alignments, which divide the available permit parking into small, restrictive areas. The current boundaries frequently require residents to travel further from their homes to park, even when nearby parking is available. Realigning the existing parking areas will reduce local boundaries while increasing both the pool of available spaces and the flexibility of parking options for residents.
I am requesting to increase the capacity of the permit parking zone north of Danforth Avenue by consolidating the existing permit parking areas under a single, larger permit parking area.
