Parking Amendment - Winona Drive

As with many areas of the city, such work brings in an influx of heavy vehicles as well as changes the patterns of traffic and parking in the community. My office has been receiving increasing complaints about the way existing parking by-laws are not addressing the needs of the community and are actually making the situation unsafe. Specifically, the area of Winona Drive just north of St. Clair Avenue West has been highlighted as one where the 'no parking' by-law is frequently disregarded, in effect creating an unsafe space for motorists and for the many pedestrians in the area. This has only been emphasised with the recent designation of Winona Drive as a Quiet Street under the ActiveTO Program. In order to improve the situation, my office has worked with staff from Traffic Operations and Work Zone Coordination to propose an adjustment of the existing by-laws. Councillor Bailão's office has also been advised of this proposal as this is located at the boundary between our two wards.

Clair Avenue West and a point 55.5 metres north; and 3. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit standing at all times on both sides of Winona Drive, between St. Clair Avenue West and Barrie Avenue.
