The decision

2024-02-21 · Toronto and East York Community Council · adopted

As filed

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the west side of Sterling Road, between Dundas Street West and Perth Avenue. 2. Prohibited standing at all times on the west side of Sterling Road, between Dundas Street West and the east and west section of Sterling Road.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents in the Perth-Sterling neighbourhood have contacted my office to advocate for safety improvements along Sterling Road. As a result of ongoing construction in the area, large pick-up trucks routinely stand in a No Parking zone on the west side of the street. This creates a bottleneck on Sterling Road, preventing and restricting larger delivery trucks from accessing businesses and vehicles from travelling the two-way road.

Stopped vehicles on the west side also pose safety concerns as trucks have a difficult time manoeuvring in this congested area, and residents have communicated several instances where pedestrians have nearly been hit by trucks that are having trouble manoeuvering through the street. As this is a significant issue for community and traffic safety, I respectfully request your support on the following recommendations.
