Rawlinson Avenue between Eglinton Avenue and Broadway Avenue - Implementation of Permit Parking
My office received strong support from residents of Rawlinson Avenue, between Eglinton Avenue and Broadway Avenue, for the implementation of on-street permit parking. Subsection 925-4B of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, 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 percent 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. As it stands, City Clerk's staff have advised that polling is being paused, due to the ongoing labour disruption at Canada Post. On both blocks of Rawlinson Avenue between Eglinton Avenue and Broadway Avenue, a resident petition showed support from more than 60 percent of the addresses for implementation of the permit parking program. Given these special circumstances, I am seeking an exemption from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking. My office will distribute a letter to impacted residents to inform them of this motion.
North York Community Council: 1. Deferred the consideration of this item to the January 6, 2026 meeting of North York Community Council.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin recommends that: 1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Rawlinson Avenue, between Eglinton Avenue East and Broadway Avenue, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as North York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.
