Field surveys reveal there is a total complement of sixty-two (62) curbside parking spaces available on the west side of Winona Drive between Vaughan Road and Eglinton Avenue West.
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 Winona Drive between Vaughan Road and Eglinton Avenue West.
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 Winona Drive between Vaughan Road and Eglinton Avenue West.
