Origin

(February 2, 2024) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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

 

Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to identify new pay-and-display parking spaces in Wards 4, 9, 12 and 19 that will support the local community and area businesses by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply.

 

Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking at various locations in the four noted Wards. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing unpaid one, two and three-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 of on-street paid parking in various Wards, this is an ongoing initiative, and Transportation Services and TPA will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.

 

A companion report, titled "Pay-and-Display Parking – Various Streets (Delegated) outlines the required parking amendments for streets without TTC service.
