Item - 2021.TE23.76

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Prohibited parking at all times on the south side of Armstrong Avenue, between a point 41.5 metres west of Dufferin Street and a point 5.5 metres further west.

Area residents contacted my office because of the difficulty they are experiencing exiting the public lane that runs parallel to Dufferin Street and is bounded by Wallace Avenue and Armstrong Avenue. These residents reported that their line of sight is being blocked by vehicles parking near the entrance of the public lane. Moreover, large vehicles and service trucks occasionally use the spot closest to the public lane to park, compounding the challenges. This creates a potentially unsafe condition and makes ingress/egress difficult for residents.  Traffic Operations staff have been contacted for recommendations and as a result of their investigation, and after having consulted with area residents, I am recommending the removal of 1 parking space along Armstrong Avenue, as outlined below.
