Comments:

Osler Street, between the north branch of Connolly Street and a point 39.6 metres south of St. Clair Avenue West, is authorized for permit parking on an area basis, permit parking area 3D, and the hours of operation are 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.

Parking is prohibited from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on this section of Osler Street.

The extension of permit parking hours is to allow residents of Osler Street, from house Nos. 363 to 375 to park on their streets.

Conclusions:

The extension of permit parking hours on the east side of Osler Street, from the lane first north of the north branch of Connolly Street to a point 39.6 metres south of St. Clair Avenue West, will allow permit holders of Osler Street and area 3D to park on the street 24 hours, 7 days a week.
