Parking Concerns on Fulton Avenue from

Pape Avenue to the former City

of Toronto Boundary

The East York Community Council recommends that:

(1)the City Clerk be requested to conduct a poll of the residents of Fulton Avenue from Pape Avenue to the former City of Toronto boundary to determine support for the implementation of Overnight Permit Parking; and

(2)the following communication (October 2, 1998) from Ms. Sandra L. Johnston, EastYork, be received:

"In the midst of amalgamation, the residences of Fulton Ave from Pape Ave to the prior boundaries of Toronto find it had to understand why we have been selected to subsidize ongoing costs through a barrage of repealed parking citations. I personally have been the recent recipient of PI#'s 36524886 and 37257780.

We do not have Permit parking. I explained this to Mr. Bryan Muir who was very co-operative. He assured me he would be contacting the appropriate divisions to inform them of that fact.

I understand that change takes time, however you must understand our position. Toronto has access to bilateral evening street parking. We feel we deserve the same privilege. The By-law must be addressed and now, not in six, eight, or eighteen months. Provisions must be made or a total suspension of ticketing should occur. We should not be penalized for being East Yorkers or for the time factors involved. Many of the vehicles occupying our only options are extensions from further up the street. This situation is ludicrous and not insurmountable. It involves a simple revision. We were led to believe on amalgamation that the mission was to link-up communities, and facilitate "better for all."

Councillor Prue, I trust you will act on our behalf."
