Implementation of Permit Parking Beverley Street, between D'Arcy Street and Baldwin Street
In 2019, my office received a petition supporting the implementation of permit parking on Beverley Street, between D'Arcy Street and Baldwin Street. This block has residents without any access to off-street parking and as a result require street parking to meet their parking needs. During the polling process, the number of required ballots was not met even though those who did vote, voted in favour of implementing the program. I am seeking an exemption from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking as the residents that did vote, were in favour of implementing the permit parking program and the total was only 2 received ballots shy of meeting the required threshold.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council exempt the implementation of Permit Parking on Beverley Street, between D'Arcy Street and Baldwin Street from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of Permit Parking at this location.

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 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 Little Norway Crescent, between Queen's Quay and Stadium Road is a local roadway near Billy Bishop Airport. Residents are finding it difficult to locate available overnight parking spaces. Implementing permit parking would resolve their long term parking needs by provide a legal overnight parking option.

Parking Amendments - Carr Street
My office has received complaints from residents about long term parking and low enforcement on Carr street, and these neighbours have submitted a petition to switch Carr to a 1 hour parking zone. Most streets in the neighbourhood have been designated as 1 hour parking for years, but Carr Street remains a 3-hour (unrestricted) zone. This amendment to authorize a maximum period of 1 hour will bring Carr Street in line with neighbouring streets, striking a balance for permit parking holders and accessible permits while allowing for temporary parking for visitors and services.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized parking for a maximum period of one hour from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight daily on the south side of Carr Street, between Denison Avenue and Bathurst Street.

Request to Review 49 Heath Street West for Inclusion on the City's Heritage register
It has been brought to my attention by the community and a local historian that this property may have architectural and cultural significance. Preliminary research has already been conducted identifying the Brass family, which were a well-known Toronto business owners, as the original occupants of the home. This large home was then converted to a multi-unit dwelling after 1929 and remains so today. This property is one of the last remaining homes of this character in the area and represents part of the history of the Deer Park neighbourhood. The home is currently up for sale and in order to preserve the existing property as a potential heritage resource, I am requesting that City staff urgently undertake an evaluation for inclusion to the City's Heritage Register.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested that the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, research and evaluate the property at 49 Heath Street West for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council with the results of this evaluation.
