On the agenda

As the city filed it

In September 2025, a new cycling connection was installed on Hallam Street, between Dufferin Street and Bartlett Avenue, as a response to resident requests through the Wallace-Emerson Neighbourhood Streets Plan. The Hallam Street cycle track provides a safe connection and enhances the bikeway network across this community. As a result of this connection, on-street parking availability was reduced on the south side of Hallam Street.

To improve parking availability for the community, residents and Transportation Services identified a no-parking area on Hallam Street that can be converted into visitor parking and overnight permit parking spaces. An amendment to this parking regulation will provide spaces for those with accessibility needs and up to seven parking spaces for visitors and residents. The proposed parking amendments will not impact neaby Dovercourt Public School or student safety. Additionally, a review by Transportation Services determined that a request for an accessible parking space on Hallam Street is warranted. The review also identified inconsistencies in the traffic by-law related to currently signed parking regulations that must be corrected.
