Summary

Toronto Police Services’ 33 Division has contacted my office regarding the insufficient amount of visitor parking available for their station. 33 Division’s station is located at 50 Upjohn Road, which is 400 plus meters away from the nearest major arterial road and TTC stop. The lack of parking on-site creates an issue because most people who visit 33 Division do so by car.

 

Given these circumstances, I would like to amend the current “no parking” by-law on the east side of Upjohn Road from the south end, north to Dyas Road.

 

Reasons for changing the current ‘no parking’ provisions include:

 

- Alleviating the lack of visitor parking for 33 Division.

 

- To ensure that drivers have a legal space to park if they ever need to speak or visit police.
