Item - 2025.EY22.19

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council prohibit parking at all times on the east, south, west and north sides of Thistle Down Boulevard (inner circle), between the south limit of Thistle Down Boulevard (west leg) and the west limit of Thistle Down Boulevard (south leg).

2. City Council amend the existing parking prohibition in effect from 5:00 to 7:00, Monday to Friday on the south, east and north side (inner circle) of Thistle Down Boulevard, between Bondhead Place and Kintail Road to be in effect from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday on the south, east and north side of Thistle Down Boulevard (outer circle), between Bondhead Place and Kintail Road.

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.
