Temporary Adjustments to Permit Parking Relocation on Mathersfield Drive and Chestnut Park

The launch shaft located at the intersection of Rowanwood Avenue and Thornwood Road will serve as a primary access point for tunnelling operations. This location requires continuous access for construction vehicles, including delivery of materials and removal of excavated soil. Maintaining clear curb lanes is necessary to ensure safe and efficient movement of trucks and equipment. These restrictions will temporarily displace existing permit parking holders. To mitigate impacts, Engineering and Construction Services has consulted with Transportation Services and is proposing temporary permit parking arrangements on nearby streets, including Mathersfield Drive and Chestnut Park. In view of the above, authorization is required to temporarily amend parking by-laws to facilitate construction while maintaining reasonable parking access for affected residents.

2. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Chestnut Park, between Roxborough Street East and Thornwood Road, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as the Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.
