Implementation of Permit Parking on Cordella Avenue
between Weston Road and Louvain Street
Ward 27, York Humber
The York Community Council recommends that:
(1)on-street permit parking be implemented on Cordella Avenue between Weston
Road and Louvain Street, subject to the two local Councillors meeting with the
affected residents prior to the October 1, 1998 meeting of City Council; and
(2)the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to give effect thereto.
The York Community Council reports, for the information of Council, having directed that
the notice of the meeting be sent only to the residents of the affected area.
The York Community Council submits the following memorandum (August 26, 1998)
from Councillor Frances Nunziata:
York Community Council, at its meeting held on July 22, 1998, considered a report from the
City Clerk (July 13, 1998) which provided favourable poll results, (96% in favour, 4%
opposed) from residents on Cordella Avenue regarding the proposal to implement on-street
permit parking on Cordella Avenue between Weston Road and Louvain Street. At that time,
I moved the implementation of on-street permit parking be approved, based on those results.
However, at that meeting Councillor Saundercook requested, due to the fact that a petition
had been received by his office, that this matter be deferred to the September 16th meeting
of York Community Council to allow the two (2) Councillors to meet with the residents of
the said petition, prior to implementing permit parking.
Since that time, staff from my office has attempted to get a copy of the said petition, as well
as to meet with Councillor Saundercook's office, as directed by Community Council, but to
date, no arrangements have been made.
As well, my office has received a number of calls from area residents on the status of their
request dated back to March 6, 1998, and reiterating the need for off-site parking in that
location to accommodate both tenants and property owners.
With that in mind, I am requesting that on-street permit parking be implemented on Cordella
Avenue between Weston Road and Louvain Street, based on the favourable poll results
embodied in the report dated July 13, 1998 from the City Clerk, and further, that the
appropriate Parking Enforcement Unit be advised to layback enforcement on Cordella
Avenue until this proposal takes effect.
The Community Council also submits the following report (July 13, 1998) from the
City Clerk:
