A petition signed by residents of Bedford Park Avenue was received by this Department,
requesting the reduction of permit parking hours on Bedford Park Avenue, between Elm
Road and Greer Road from the current hours of 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., to 12:01 a.m. to
7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Comments:
Bedford Park Avenue, between Elm Road and Greer Road, is authorized for permit parking
on a street name basis, and the hours of operation are 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a
week. Bedford Park Avenue, between Elm Road and Greer Road, has a total of 84 permits
issued against 229 on-street parking spaces.
The reduction of permit parking hours on this street, constitutes a "deprivation" to permit
holders. Under the procedures adopted by the former City of Toronto Council, we are
required to notify all affected permit holders. A notice on the deprivation of permit parking
hours was mailed to all affected permit holders on April 30th, 1998 and a number of
objections have been received.
Conclusions:
Objections were received from residents of Bedford Park Avenue, between Elm Road and
Greer Road, on the reduction of permit parking hours. On hearing the matter, the Toronto
Community Council must decide whether or not to recommend that City Council grant
approval to reduce the permit parking hours on Bedford Park Avenue, between Elm Road
and Greer Road, from 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. to 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
