SC27.8 - Pay-and-Display Parking - Kingston Road

Decision Type:: ACTION

Status:: Deferred

Ward:: 20 - Scarborough Southwest

Community Council Decision

Scarborough Community Council deferred consideration of the Item until the November 26, 2021 Scarborough Community Council meeting.

Origin

(September 23, 2021) Report from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Kingston Road, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services and the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) are requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Kingston Road in Ward 20.

The TPA has worked with Transportation Services to identify new pay-and-display parking spaces in Ward 20 that will compliment the operation of municipal Car Park 701 and support the local community and area businesses by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply. Through this review, Transportation Services is recommending the introduction of pay-and-display parking on both sides of Kingston Road, between Victoria Park Avenue and Fallingbrook Road.

The proposed parking changes on Kingston Road will replace the existing unpaid, anytime parking that is currently in effect. The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will encourage parking turnover.

While this report seeks Community Council approval for the installation in Ward 20, this is an ongoing initiative, and Transportation Services and TPA will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.
