(September 16, 2021) Letter from Councillor Michael Thompson, Ward 21 - Scarborough Centre

Summary

After hearing from numerous residents on Jolly Way regarding their concerns about the lack of adequate on-site parking on their properties, I have concluded that their long term parking needs can be satisfied through the City's Residential On-street Permit Parking Program.  The areas of the City that currently allow for residential permit parking are: Toronto, East York, Etobicoke, York, certain areas of North York and certain areas of Scarborough.

 

Pursuant to section 925-4C of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, Chapter 925 does not apply to the excluded area, as defined. As such, staff are unable to designate roads or areas within the excluded area as permit parking roads or areas even where staff are in receipt of a petition from residents.

 

This motion seeks to exclude Jolly Way from the definition of "Excluded Area" under Chapter 925, such that this street can be considered for permit parking through the petition and polling process:
