The Toronto and East York Community Council:

3.  Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the even (west) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to a point 15 meters north of Wallace Avenue.

4.  Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except each Thursday from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the odd (east) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to Wallace Avenue.

5.  Prohibited parking at all times on the west side of Ward Street, between Lappin Avenue and a point 15 metres north of Wallace Avenue.

6.  Authorized permit parking to be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, on the odd (east) side of Ward Street from Lappin Avenue to Wallace Avenue.

Ward Street, which extends from Wallace Avenue to Lappin Avenue, has homes located on the east side and a large office complex with boulevard parking on the west side. During alternate side parking days, residents on Ward Street are required to move their vehicles to the east side of the street, where there are significantly fewer spaces – resulting in difficulty locating parking spaces in the area.

In a survey conducted by my office, a majority of residents supported the removal of alternate side parking and maintaining parking on the east side in front of homes.
