A solid screen fence measuring 1.83 metres at the front and flank from the west and north sides of the property within the public right-of-way that is within 70 metres of the intersection, which exceeds the maximum one (1) metre permitted. § 743-34.

In 2018, the speed limit was reduced from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Valermo Drive between Browns Line and Rimilton Avenue, however, Valermo Drive is a long straight road and the issue of speeding still persists regardless of the speed reduction. An all-way stop study at Valermo and Delta was performed during COVID when school was a mix of in-person learning and virtual learning, and the data was close to meeting the warrants.

Exclusion of Ward 2 from Permit Parking
In December 2021 City Council adopted PH29.3 Recommended Parking Requirements for New Development, and in doing so removed the minimum parking space supply requirements for new developments. Many parts of the City, including Etobicoke Centre, have an abundance of streets which are free from permanent parking, and this is among the attractive characteristics of these neighbourhoods. The principle of containing a building's servicing within the development itself, including parking, is consistent with the City's official Plan. It should be no surprise that overnight or recurrent street-parked vehicles are a frequent source of complaints from residents, and that the vehicles complicate maintenance and snow clearing operations. Parking enforcement activity to address these vehicles is resource intensive, and is not always an effective tool to manage the issue. The staff report on PH29.3 acknowledged the concern of spillover of parking into neighbourhoods near developments, and proposed that it be addressed through introducing further measures to limit residents of, visitors to or tradespersons at new development from parking on-street. However the mechanism suggested within the report to do so is ad-hoc and geared to areas of the City which already have on-street parking. The mechanism also relies on secondary approvals to proceed through the Council process in conjunction with a development approval. The purpose of this motion is to request a staff report which will identify how to exclude Ward 2 from accepting new applications for new permanent on-street parking program locations as a means to provide certainty. This change will ensure a clear message is sent to prospective developers and future occupants that despite the removal of minimum parking requirements, new development proposals must contain adequate parking spaces and there can be no expectation that spillover parking will be absorbed by the surrounding neighbourhood. It will also streamline the Council process and alleviate the need for supplemental reports and approvals.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation Services report to the April 19, 2022 Etobicoke York Community Council on the necessary steps required to amend Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, in order to exclude Ward 2 from accepting new applications for permit parking.

At the February 2, 2022, City Council approved an exemption for the implementation of permit parking on Outlook Avenue, between Rockcliffe Boulevard and Jane Street from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking. City Council Decision http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2022.EY29.18 Subsection 925-4B, provides that: Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25% of the total number of residential premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted for a period of two years Outlook Avenue, between Rockcliffe Boulevard and Jane Street is presently not licensed for permit parking. Adding this block of Outlook Avenue to the permit parking program would allow residents to obtain a residential on-street parking permit and provide them with the ability to legally park overnight.
