Background:
In response to requests from area residents, Works staff investigated complaints regarding long term non-resident parking
on both sides of the subject section of Castle Knock Road. In order to address the issue of long term non-resident parking
during the weekday daytime hours, Works staff suggested several alternatives to North Toronto Councillors Michael
Walker and Anne Johnston by letter dated April 22, 1998. In response to this letter, Councillor Walker conducted a poll of
area residents to determine a consensus of the preferred alternative and forwarded a letter to the Toronto Community
Council at its meeting of July 22, 1998 requesting that parking be prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 4:00
p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on both sides of Castle Knock Road from Crestview Road to Roselawn Avenue on
the west side and from Elwood Boulevard to Roselawn Avenue on the east side. City Council at its meeting of July 29, 30
and 31, 1998 in considering Clause No. 25 in Toronto Community Council Report No. 10, adopted the Clause without
amendment.
Comments:
Councillor Michael Walker's office has now requested an adjustment to the northerly limit of the "No parking 8:00 a.m. to
10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday" parking regulation. In this regard, the aforementioned limits
should be adjusted as described in Recommendations Nos. 1 and 2, above.
