Change of On-Street Overnight Permit Parking Hours on the

West Side of Christie (South of Barton Avenue) (Davenport)

The Toronto Community Council recommends that:

 (1)in order to allow non-permit holders the opportunity to park on Christie Street, between Barton Avenue and Bloor Street West after midnight, the existing permit parking hours of 12:01 a.m to 7:00 a.m. on the west side of Christie Street (south of Barton Avenue) be adjusted so as to operate between the hours of 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.; and

(2)City Officials take appropriate action to give effect thereto.

The Toronto Community Council submits the following communication (undated) from Councillor Disero:

The subject section of Christie Street is within permit parking area "5A" where to date, 794 permits have been issued against a total of 953 available on-street spaces. Specifically, on the subject section of Christie Street, there are 0 permits issued against a total of 37 available on-street parking spaces.

In view of the above, it would appear that the recommended adjustment of permit parking regulations would not negatively impact on existing residential parking conditions on the subject section of Christie Street.

The Toronto Community Council also submits the following communication (June 16, 1998) addressed to the Director, Infrastructure Planning and Transportation Section, City Works Services from Councillor Disero:

I have received a request from Councillor Joe Pantalone to change the current on-street overnight permit parking from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. to "2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m."

The purpose for this request is that since the Ukrainian Cultural Centre is a community facility whereby events are regularly held on weekends i.e., weddings, etc., people attending the events are being ticketed, if they stay past midnight.

Could you please investigate the feasibility of this request and report your findings to me.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
