Item - 2024.EY12.26

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Reopened Item EY9.32, entitled "Parking Regulation Amendments - Wilby Crescent ".

2. Deleted Recommendation 1 of its decision with respect to Item EY9.32 and adopted the following new Recommendations:

a. That Etobicoke York Community Council authorize the installation of parking machines on the east side of Wilby Crescent, between a point 30.5 metres south of Weston Road and a point 40 metres further south, to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday, for a maximum period of three hours and at a rate of $2.75 per hour.

b. That Etobicoke York Community Council rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, on both sides of Wilby Crescent, between a point 35 metres south of Weston Road and the south easterly limit of Wilby Crescent.

c. That Etobicoke York Community Council prohibit parking in effect at all times, on the west side of Wilby Crescent, between a point 35 metres south of Weston Road and the south easterly limit of Wilby Crescent.

d. Etobicoke York Community Council prohibit parking in effect at all times, on the east side of Wilby Crescent, between a point 70.5 metres south of Weston Road and the south easterly limit of Wilby Crescent. 

At our meeting held on November 13th, 2023, my motion was passed to amend the parking regulation along both sides of Wilby Crescent. The motion aimed to address the issue of illegal parking of unplated and plated vehicles, as well as parts of vehicles, along both sides of Wilby Crescent. These vehicles primarily belonged to automotive repair shops and body shops operating on Wilby Crescent.

Despite the implementation of these changes, the aforementioned issues persist. Residents, particularly those residing at 10 Wilby, have expressed increasing frustration with the situation. After careful thought and consideration, I will be requesting that the parking regulation be amended on Wilby Crescent to Pay-and- Display parking.
