Implementation of Permit Parking in a Newly Designated Permit Parking Area for Regent Park

As the City begins to assume roads in Regent Park, this provides an opportunity to add overnight permit parking, while being intentional about using an equity lens to ensure those affordable parking spaces go to TCHC tenants. Due to the immense population growth pressures in the downtown core and the fixed, extremely limited, street capacity, City Council's practice of excluding all new developments in the downtown from being eligible for on-street permit parking remains necessary. In these very unique circumstances in Regent Park, I believe that making an exception for TCHC residents is an equity-driven and balanced approach. This letter is required to exempt petition and polling requirements to implement permit parking on streets within Regent Park. A future report is expected that would properly implement permit parking on the noted streets and to exclude non-TCHC buildings from the new permit parking area.
