Review of Parking and Transit Related Requests for Etobicoke York District

In addition, new condominium, townhome, and multiplex developments that later petition for access to on-street residential parking permits place further pressure on local streets and undermine parking availability for existing residents and their visitors. These impacts can negatively affect neighbourhood livability and contribute to conflicts over limited curbside space. At the same time, parking at TTC Stations play a critical role as first- and last-mile infrastructure by enabling residents to access public transit where walking, cycling, or feeder bus options are limited. Maintaining and restoring access to transit parking can help reduce congestion on local roads, support increased transit ridership, and provide practical transportation options for Etobicoke-York residents during the transition to improved transit service.
