Item - 2024.TE18.61

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Shuter Street, between Parliament Street and Sackville Street, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as the Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location. 

I am writing to request support to skip petition and polling requirements under subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking in order to add spaces on Shuter Street between Parliament Street and Sumach Street.

There are existing unsigned parking spaces on the south side of Sumach Street between Parliament and River Street, but only the portion between Sumach Street and River Street permit overnight permit parking. A local resident brought this discrepancy to the attention of my office, and upon review with City staff, Transportation Services were agreeable to review adding these existing parking spaces into the 7C permit area for overnight parking purposes.

Adding these spaces in would provide a consistent parking condition across Shuter Street, as well as provide approximately 20 new overnight permit parking spaces to a permit parking area that is frequently waitlisted.
