Old Weston Road permit parking expanded between Davenport and St. Clair

The motion proposes to introduce permit parking on the east side of Old Weston Road between Davenport Road and St. Clair Avenue West, adding approximately 25 resident permit spaces, and to remove an outdated all-times stopping prohibition south of Ed Clark Gardens that was originally implemented for a flea market that no longer operates. The changes address resident requests for parking relief on a street with limited garage access.

Why is this story here?

ContainedA genuine decision affecting parking supply and regulation on a single street segment. The change is reversible without significant cost; a future council could restore the prohibition or adjust permit boundaries. The decision does not constrain future councils' broader parking or transportation policy choices. Affects approximately 25 permit spaces on one arterial corridor.Touches a narrow groupParking regulation changes affect directly only residents on the east side of Old Weston Road between Davenport and St. Clair who rely on on-street parking and have made explicit requests. This is a recognizable but geographically narrow group. Visitors and businesses using the corridor may feel effects, but the primary benefit is to a specific set of households. The effect is real to those residents but not broadly felt across the city.
