Recommendations:
The Toronto Community Council may recommend that:
(1)the permit parking hours of operation on Madison Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Lowther Avenue, be reduced
from 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 12 midnight to 8:00 a.m., 7 days a week;
(2)Schedule SS of Municipal Code Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code be

(3)the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto, including the
introduction of all necessary bills.
Background:
A request was received from Councillor John Adams to reduce the permit parking hours on Madison Avenue, between
Bloor Street West and Lowther Avenue, from the current hours of 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 12 midnight
to 8:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Comments:
Madison Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Lowther Avenue, is authorized for permit parking on an area basis,
permit parking area 5D, and the hours of operation are 12: 01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
The reduction of permit parking hours on Madison Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Lowther Avenue, is a
"deprivation" to permit holders. Under the procedures adopted by the former Toronto City Council, we are required to
notify all affected permit holders by posting a notice in the newspaper. A notice on the deprivation of permit parking hours
was placed in the Toronto Star on April 9, 1998, and no objections were received.
Conclusions:
Given that there were no objections received, it is recommended that the permit parking hours on Madison Avenue,
between Bloor Street West and Lowther Avenue, be amended to indicate 12 midnight to 8:00 a.m., 7days a week.
