Item - 2020.TE20.56

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 

1.  Amended Schedule A of City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate the east side of Coxwell Avenue, between Eastwood Drive and Dundas Street East, as part of area 9C, under the operating hours of 12:00 midnight to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.  

At its meeting of October 27, 2020, City Council approved an exemption for the implementation of permit parking on Coxwell Avenue, between Eastwood Road and Dundas Street East, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, through Item TE19.57.

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.

Coxwell Avenue, between Eastwood Road and Dundas Street East is presently not licensed for permit parking. Adding this block of Coxwell Avenue to the permit parking program would allow residents to obtain a residential on-street parking permit and provide them with the ability to legally park 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.
