Implementation of a One Hour Parking Limit,
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.Monday to Saturday- Wanda Road
(Davenport)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(September 2, 1998) from the Director, Infrastructure Planning and Transportation
Division, City Works Services:
Purpose:
To implement a one hour parking limit on Wanda Road in order to reduce the incidence of
long term transient parking.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
(1)That parking on the south side of Wanda Road from Indian Road Crescent to Dorval
Road be regulated for a maximum period of one hour from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday
to Saturday; and
(2)That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to
give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are
required.
Comments:
At the request of Councillor Betty Disero, on behalf of area residents, Works staff
investigated the feasibility of implementing a one hour parking limit on Wanda Road.
Wanda Road from Indian Road Crescent to Dorval Road operates two-way with a pavement
width of 7.3 metres. Parking is prohibited at anytime on the north side of Wanda Road and
parking is permitted on the south side of the street for a maximum period of three hours
outside of the hours of permit parking operation from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily.
The implementation of a one hour parking limit on Wanda Road to operate between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m, Monday to Saturday, should reduce the incidence of long
term transient parking that is presently occurring along the street due to the nearby
commercial district along Bloor Street West and the T.T.C. subway station at Bloor Street
West and Keele Street.
As your Community Council is aware, vehicles displaying valid on-street area parking
permits would be exempt from this one hour parking restriction. However, residents without
parking permits, visitors and trades persons may be inconvenienced as selective enforcement
by the Parking Enforcement Unit of the Toronto Police Service is not possible.
