On May 25, 2022, the Infrastructure and Environment Committee adopted as amended Item IE30.11 - "On-Street Electric Vehicle Charging Stations - Pilot Conclusion and Next Steps," which among other things identified a list of seventeen (17) new on-street electric vehicle charging locations where thirty-two (32) EV charging stations would be installed on Toronto Hydro electrical and street light poles by the end of 2022.

This report outlines the parking by-law amendments required to implement the parking areas for eleven (11) of the EV charging station locations for the roll out of twenty (20) of the thirty-two (32) charging stations for which this Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. These locations have been reviewed and supported by the local Councillors.

The report, "On-Street Electric Vehicle Charging Stations - Parking Amendments (Delegated Locations)," has been submitted to the June 29, 2022 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council to designate the required delegated parking by-law amendments for the remaining six (6) locations and twelve (12) additional EV charging stations.
