Main Street - Parking Amendments
My office heard from residents who previously conducted a poll to amend the 1-hour maximum parking condition on Main Street, between Danforth Avenue and Doncaster Avenue. The original request was to amend the 1-hour max to 6:00 p.m., but due to an existing stopping prohibition, it was adjusted to 4:00 p.m. Residents would like the 1-hour max to extend until 6:00 p.m., therefore, I recommend adoption of my recommendations.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council rescind the existing stopping prohibition in effect from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday. to Friday, except public holidays on the east side of Main Street, between a point 50 metres north of Danforth Avenue and a point 37 metres south of Doncaster Avenue. 2.
