Parking is currently allowed on the north side of this section for a maximum of one-hour from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., April 1 to December 31 and prohibited at all other times.

Strathgowan Avenue was recently narrowed to 7.0 metres wide in this area to add a sidewalk as part of the redevelopment of 2779 and 2781 Yonge Street and 15-21 Strathgowan Avenue.

The proposed parking prohibition will allow for safe and efficient two-way traffic operation on Strathgowan Avenue and result in the loss of approximately three permit parking spaces. There are three permits issued for 13 spaces in this area.
