Origin
Summary
Residents have requested the addition of Kensington Ave between Baldwin St and St Andrew St to the permit parking program. Kensington Ave currently has permit parking on the portion south of St Andrew St, and adding this block would create consistency along the street and add much needed parking to area 6C.
Subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, provides that:
Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25% of the total number of residential premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted for a period of two years
Kensington Avenue, between Baldwin Street and St Andrew Street, give some rationale for the request to add permit parking. I would mention that the other block of Kensington Ave has permit parking and this would create consistency along the street and add much needed parking to area 6C.
