Field surveys reveal there is a total complement of twenty-seven (27) curbside parking spaces available on Rushton Road between St. Clair Avenue to Humewood Gardens; and Maplewood Avenue to Valewood Avenue; and Vaughan Road to Windley 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 Rushton Road between St. Clair Avenue to Humewood Gardens; and Maplewood Avenue to Valewood Avenue; and Vaughan Road to Windley 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 Rushton Road between St. Clair Avenue to Humewood Gardens; and Maplewood Avenue to Valewood Avenue; and Vaughan Road to Windley Avenue.
