Item - 2020.TE19.57

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council exempt the implementation of Permit Parking on Coxwell Avenue, between Eastwood Drive and Dundas Street East from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of Permit Parking at this location.

I have heard from constituents of Coxwell Avenue from Eastwood Road and Dundas Street East who are experiencing difficulty parking outside of their homes overnight. I am requesting to implement legal on-street permit parking in this area by expanding the existing 9C zone to include the above noted section of Coxwell Avenue. Implementing this change would allow residents in the area to apply for a permit parking sticker and park legally overnight.

The proposed change will not affect daytime stopping conditions along the east side of the street. While permit holders will be able to park beyond the 1HR currently in place for 9:00am-4:00pm on weekdays, the No Stopping during the 4:00-6:00pm rush hour will remain the same. This update will also allow all 9C permit holders to access the proposed parking spots overnight.

Due to ongoing COVID-19 response, the City’s Polling Unit continues to experience delays and a significant backlog. This motion exempts the implementation from the polling requirement based on outreach that has been conducted with residents on the street.
