As the city filed it

After hearing from numerous residents of my ward regarding their concerns about the lack of adequate on-site parking on their properties, I have concluded that their long term parking needs could perhaps be satisfied through the City's Residential On-street Permit Parking Program. The areas of the City that currently allow for residential permit parking are: Toronto and East York, areas of Etobicoke York, North York and certain areas of Scarborough.

This program is currently not in place for ward 23, however, because this area is included in the definition for "Excluded Area" under Chapter 925, Permit Parking. Under section 925-4C of Chapter 925, permit parking will not apply to the excluded area as defined, meaning, among other things, that staff are unable to designate roads or areas within the excluded area as permit parking roads or areas even where staff are in receipt of a petition from residents. This motion seeks to remove the following area from the definition of excluded area under Chapter 925, Permit Parking, such that streets within this area can be considered for permit parking through the petition and polling process.

Staff recommended

Councillor Cynthia Lai recommends that: 1. City Council amend Subsection (2) of the definition of "Excluded Area" in section 925-1 B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, by: a. deleting the word "and" at the end of subsection (f); b. deleting the period at the end of subsection (g) and inserting "; and"; and c. adding a new subsection (h) as follows: The area bounded by Highway 401 to the south,

by Midland Avenue to the west, by Steeles Avenue East to the north, and by the Rouge River to the electric power transmission line, the electric power transmission line to Morningside Avenue, Morningside Avenue to Neilson Road, and Neilson Road to Highway 401 on the east.
