On the agenda

As the city filed it

Earlier this year, by way of the Permit Parking office, it was brought to my attention that some discrepancies exist between the signage on Falwyn Avenue and the actual parking bylaw, which has resulted in safety and operational issues on the street. Permit parking operates from 12:00 midnight to 6:00am. According to the City of Toronto's parking bylaw (Chapter 925), parking is already affixed to the even (north) side of Falwyn Avenue.

However, signage on the street indicates alternate side parking. For this reason, residents are parking on the north side of Falwyn Avenue except on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month from April 1st to November 30th, during which time they park on the alternate side (south). This conflicts with the current parking regulation and causes residents at times to park on both sides of the street, which narrows the roadway, and in turn creates unsafe conditions and disruptions to City services. Transportation Services staff have been contacted for recommendations and as a result of their investigation, and after having consulted with area residents, I am recommending that parking regulations be amended and corrected, as outlined below.

Staff recommended

Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the parking prohibition in effect on the 1st and 3rd Wed. of each month, Apr. 1st to Nov 30th, inclusive on the north side of Falwyn Avenue, between the west end of Falwyn Avenue and Winona Drive. 2.
