Current parking regulations on Brock Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Wallace Avenue, are creating significant challenges for permit parking holders and visitors to the area. Every Thursday from April to November, residents are required to move their vehicles to the east side of Brock Avenue – where there are fewer available parking spaces. These switchover days have caused confusion and frustration among residents, as tickets are issued frequently despite a reduction in street maintenance.

A majority of the households along this section of Brock Avenue confirmed their support on a petition requesting the removal of the Thursday switchover days. The removal of switchover days will not only improve the parking supply on Brock Avenue for permit parking holders but also ensure that visitors to the neighbourhood can still locate street parking.
