Item - 2025.SC27.19

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:  

1. City Council amend the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of Kingston Road, between Birchmount Road and Cliffside Drive, to be in effect between Birchmount Road and a point 100 metres west of Cliffside Drive.

2. City Council amend the existing parking prohibition in effect from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, on the south side of Kingston Road, between a point 79 metres east of Chine Drive and Cliffside Drive, to be in effect between a point 79 metres east of Chine Drive and a point 100 metres west of Cliffside Drive.

3. City Council authorize the installation of parking machines on the south side of Kingston Road, between Cliffside Drive and a point 100 metres west of Cliffside Drive, to be in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, for a maximum period of three hours and at a rate of $3.00 per hour.

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

Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to identify new on-street paid parking opportunities in Ward 20 that will support the local community and area businesses, by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply.

Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Kingston Road in Ward 20. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing parking restrictions currently in effect. The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will encourage parking turnover.

While this report seeks Community Council approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Kingston Road in Ward 20, this is an ongoing initiative; Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.
