Poll Results: On-Street Permit Parking on Alameda Avenue Between
Eglinton Avenue West and Lanark Avenue, and Gloucester Grove to Belvidere Avenue
In Favour:
(a)We would want the parking to continue to be only on the east side.
Not In Favour:
(a)Not in favour of more restrictions.
(b)Permit parking should not be allowed. The street is very narrow and would be more
cluttered if vehicles were allowed to park.
(c)Money-grabber! Let some parts of our lives be controlled by us and not by legislation!
