Item - 2022.TE31.80

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Amended Schedule A of City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate the west side of Kensington Avenue, between Baldwin Street and St Andrew Street, on an area name basis within area 6C, under the operating hours of 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.  

At its meeting of February 2, 2022, City Council approved an exemption for the implementation of permit parking on Kensington Avenue, between Baldwin Street and St Andrew Street, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking (http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2022.TE30.38)

Subsection 925-4B, 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, is presently not licensed for permit parking. Adding this block of Kensington Avenue to the permit parking program would allow residents to obtain a residential on-street parking permit and provide them with the ability to legally park overnight.
