Item - 2021.TE27.40

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Enacted parking by-law amendments to establish new on-street paid parking at various locations in Wards 10 and Ward 11, as set out in Attachments 2 and 3 to the report (August 23, 2021) from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City Policy or By-Laws.

As part of the redevelopment of two (2) municipal car parks operated by Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), Transportation Services and TPA have completed a review of new locations where additional on-street paid parking can be implemented to support the local community and area businesses

Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting Community Council approval for the installation of on-street paid parking at various locations in Wards 10 and 11.  The proposed parking changes will replace the existing unpaid, one-hour time limit 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 of on-street paid parking in various high demand locations in Wards 10 and 11, 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.
