Why is this story here?
ContainedA genuine decision affecting one residential street's parking regime. Bounded to one location, and while a future council could change it, undoing a permit system requires resident petition again. Not trivial but not institution-wide.Touches a narrow groupAffects residents of Victor Avenue directly and immediately, but they are a small specific group. Non-residents and most of Toronto experience no change. The issue is real for those on the street, but the number affected is limited.
