Origin

(February 7, 2024) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Weston Road, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Weston Road in Ward 5. Transportation Services and the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) staff have identified new pay-and display parking spaces in this ward that will support the local community and area businesses by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing unpaid three-hour (statutory City wide maximum) and the maximum one hour parking that is currently in effect.  The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will encourage parking turnover.

 

While this report seeks City approval for the installation in one Ward, this is an ongoing initiative, and Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.

 

This report also seeks to amend the rush hour parking on Weston Road to support higher priority transit as a part of the future RapidTO corridor.
