Origin
Summary
I have been contacted by a local residents of Sammon Avenue who have been having ongoing issues with access to permit parking on their street. This section of Sammon Avenue, between Coxwell and Durant is also used for student pick-up and drop-off at the adjacent elementary school and is often used for short term parking for visitors to Michael Garron Hospital too. Transportation Services has provided language to change the regulations on this block of Sammon Avenue to allow for a few additional permit parking spaces for residents.
I look forward to your support for these recommendations.
