I am writing to request your support in changing parking regulations on Foxbar Road, south of St. Clair Ave West.  This is to facilitate the installation of a median along the centreline on Foxbar Road to address long-standing traffic infiltration concerns and issues on Foxbar Road. 

This arrangement would lead to a loss of pay & display parking spots frequently used by visitors to the Bradgate Arms Retirement Residence.  In order for the median to work without negative impacts on the retirement home, my office has worked with the developer's team at 129 St. Clair Ave W to open up parking space for commercial use at 129 St Clair Ave W to offset the loss of parking on the street.  My office worked on this plan with Transportation Services, the Foxbar Neighbourhood Association (FNA), and Bradgate Arms, who have all confirmed their support.  Bradgate Arms and the FNA have also issued letters of support to the Committee of Adjustment, which approved the variances on October 6, 2021, effectively paving the way for the construction of the median.
