Community Council Decision

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

 

1. Deferred consideration of the item until the April 30, 2025 meeting of the Etobicoke York Community Council.

Origin

(March 17, 2025) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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

 

Transportation Services is recommending that the existing signed parking prohibition from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday on the east, south, west and north sides (inner loop) of Thistle Down Boulevard, be amended to prohibit parking at all times, in conjunction with the installation of the proposed speed cushions on Thistle Down Boulevard as outlined in the companion report titled "Traffic Calming (Speed Cushions) - Thistle Down Boulevard". The proposed amendment will deter parking and allow transit operations to traverse the speed cushion as required by Toronto Transit Commission operations.

 

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendation 2 will correct this inconsistency.
