Currently on-street parking on Alameda Avenue between Eglinton Avenue West and Belvidere Avenue is legally permitted on the east side, exclusively. Outlined below is a summary of the parking duration and legal number of curbside parking spaces available, within each individual block:

Field surveys reveal there is a total complement of thirty-two (32) curbside parking spaces available on the east side of Alameda Avenue between Eglinton Avenue West and Lanark Avenue; and Alameda Avenue between Gloucester Grove and Belvidere Avenue.
On-street permit parking provides those residents, without adequate off-street parking facilities to legally park their vehicles on the streets on which they reside for extended periods of time, with impunity from the signed or unsigned parking regulations. We, therefore, support the introduction of on-street permit parking on Alameda Avenue between Eglinton Avenue West and Lanark Avenue; and Alameda Avenue between Gloucester Grove and Belvidere Avenue.
Conclusions:
On-street permit parking is a service benefit for every municipally addressed taxpayer without adequate off-street parking facilities. We, therefore, recommend the implementation of on-street permit parking on Alameda Avenue between Eglinton Avenue West and Lanark Avenue; and Alameda Avenue between Gloucester Grove and Belvidere Avenue.
