Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Recommendations:

The Toronto Community Council may recommend that:

(1)permit parking be introduced on the north side of Paton Road, between Lansdowne Avenue and the Canadian National Railway Line, on an area basis, within permit parking area 3H, to operate during the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., 7 days a week;

(2)Schedule G of Municipal Code Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code be amended to incorporate the north side of Paton Road, between Lansdowne Avenue and the Canadian National Railway line; and

(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:

In her communication of June 18, 1998, Councillor Betty Disero requested that we proceed with the introduction of permit parking on the north side of Paton Road, between Lansdowne Avenue and the Canadian National Railway Line.

Comments:

Paton Road, between Lansdowne Avenue and the Canadian National Railway Line, is currently authorized for permit parking on the south side, on an area basis, within permit parking area 3H and operates between the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., 7 days a week.

The introduction of permit parking on this section of the street will provide 6 additional on-street permit parking spaces to residents of this street and area 3H.

Conclusions:

Given that permit parking is already authorized on the south side of Paton Road, between Lansdowne Avenue and the Canadian National Railway Line and that the introduction of permit parking on the north side will provide 6 additional on-street parking spaces for residents of this street and area 3H, it is recommended that permit parking be introduced.
