Recommendations
Councillor Dianne Saxe, seconded by Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin, recommends that:
1. City Council request the Toronto Parking Authority board to designate at least 20 of the Price Street Green P lot parking spots to non-renewable short term (maximum three hours) parking spots, in order to provide parking for customers of local restaurants and businesses.
Summary
The Toronto Parking Authority operates a 71-spot Green P parking lot on Price Street, which provides essential parking for customers of local restaurants and businesses. Unfortunately, the Business Improvement Association reports that, due to the high concentration of nearby construction sites, the lot now tends to be filled all day by the personal vehicles of construction workers. This is causing severe hardship for the local restaurants and other businesses, and multiple additional construction projects are scheduled to begin in the vicinity.
Construction workers’ personal vehicles can be accommodated in several other Green P lots a few blocks north.
