Background:
In response to requests from area residents, Works staff investigated complaints regarding
long term non-resident parking on both sides of the subject section of Castle Knock Road. In
order to address the issue of long term non-resident parking during the weekday daytime
hours, Works staff suggested several alternatives to North Toronto Councillors Michael
Walker and Anne Johnston by letter dated April 22, 1998. In response to this letter,
Councillor Walker conducted a poll of area residents to determine a consensus of the
preferred alternative and forwarded a letter to the Toronto Community Council at its
meeting of July 22, 1998 requesting that parking be prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on both sides of Castle Knock Road
from Crestview Road to Roselawn Avenue on the west side and from Elwood Boulevard to
Roselawn Avenue on the east side. City Council at its meeting of July 29, 30 and 31, 1998
in considering Clause No. 25 in Toronto Community Council Report No. 10, adopted the
Clause without amendment.
Comments:
Councillor Michael Walker's office has now requested an adjustment to the northerly limit
of the "No parking 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday"
parking regulation. In this regard, the aforementioned limits should be adjusted as described
in Recommendations Nos. 1 and 2, above.
