Origin
Summary
Due to the realignment of Perth Avenue, there are discrepancies with the current parking by-laws on the south portion of Perth Avenue.
While the realignment created a new park in the neighbourhood, residents raised concerns that this led to a reduction in the number of available on-street parking spaces on Perth. These changes in parking regulations will lead to an increase of three to four permit parking spaces on the east side of Perth Avenue. Safety concerns have also been raised on the street, and parking restrictions will be implemented to address safety issues where the road bends and narrows.
Many differing viewpoints and opinions have been expressed to my office regarding the operations of Perth and Sterling, and where or where not parking should be permitted. The below traffic and parking regulations below are recommended by the City's Traffic Operations staff.
