Background:
A request was received from Councillor John Adams to have the permit parking hours on
Prince Arthur Avenue reduced from the current hours of 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a
week, to 12:01a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Comments:
Prince Arthur Avenue, between Avenue Road and Bedford Road, is authorized for permit
parking on an area basis, permit parking area 5E, and the hours of operation are 12: 01 a.m.
to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
The reduction of permit parking hours on Prince Arthur Avenue, between Avenue Road and
Bedford Road, is a "deprivation" to permit holders. Under the procedures adopted by the
former Toronto City Council, we are required to notify all affected permit holders by
posting a notice in the newspaper. A notice on the deprivation of permit parking hours was
placed in the Toronto Star on April 9, 1998, and no objections were received.
Conclusions:
Given that there were no objections received, it is recommended that the permit parking
hours on Prince Arthur Avenue, between Avenue Road and Bedford Road, be amended to
indicate 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7days a week.
