Summary

The Westbank Mirvish Development at the corner of Bathurst and Bloor contains approximately 890 residential units in addition to multiple non-residential premises. Part of the community negotiations prior to zoning approval of this project were that the developer would build sufficient underground parking to accommodate all tenants, as this very high density development would completely overwhelm neighbourhood on-street parking if Mirvish Village tenants were eligible for on-street parking permits.

 

However, no permit parking exclusion was included in the original zoning approval. Mirvish Village tenants have now begun to move in. Although there is ample space in the underground parking lot, tenants have begun to apply for on-street residential parking permits, since the city charges very little for on-street parking. The neighbourhood cannot accommodate unlimited on-street parking for Mirvish Village tenants.
