Field surveys reveal there is a total complement of two hundred and twenty-one (221) curbside parking spaces available on
both the north and south sides of Rogers Road between Old Weston Road and Oakwood 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 and unsigned
parking regulations. We, therefore, support the introduction of on-street permit parking on Rogers Road between Old
Weston Road and Oakwood 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 Rogers Road between Old Weston
Road and Oakwood Avenue.
