Origin
Summary
In April 2022, my office received a request from residents living from along Van Horne Avenue between Edmonton Drive and Taverly Road to work with them on securing a parking exemption on their driveway boulevards. The request for this exemption was prompted after residents became aware that by law 680-2006 was amended in 2015 to allow residents on Shoreham Drive in Ward 8 a similar exemption. Residents have stated that the exemption will help assist in the flow of traffic in this section of Van Horne Avenue, as street parking is unfeasible due to a TTC bus route travelling through the area.
