This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services is recommending that overnight on-street permit parking be introduced on an area basis (Area 7L), within the area bounded by: Gerrard Street East to the north, River Street to the east, Shuter Street to the south, and Parliament Street to the west.

The Ward Councillor requested the implementation of overnight on-street permit parking in Regent Park to accommodate the long-term parking needs of Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) residents. On June 26, 2024, City Council exempted the streets within Regent Park from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, therefore the subject streets within proposed Permit Parking - Area 7L were not subject to petition and polling requirements.

This report also responds to Toronto and East York Community Council's direction to exclude various addresses from the newly created Permit Parking Area 7L.

A companion report, titled "Realignment of Permit Parking - Area 7L to Exclude the Developments Located at 100 and 130 River Street " recommends the exclusion of various addresses from Permit Parking - Area 7L, that are located on a street with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service.
