Background:
A request was received from Councillor Michael Walker to have the permit parking hours on Bowood Avenue, between
Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road, extended from the current hours of 12:01a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 12:01
a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Comments:
Bowood Avenue, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road, is authorized for permit parking on a street name basis,
and the hours of operation are 12:01 a.m. to 7:00a.m., 7 days a week.
The extension of permit parking hours on Bowood Avenue, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road, is an
administrative procedure.
In order to facilitate the extension of permit parking, it will be necessary to rescind/adjust these parking regulations as
follows:
1. rescind the existing no parking 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, on both sides of Bowood Avenue, from
Bocastle Avenue to Mount Pleasant Road;
2. adjust the existing one hour parking limit from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the north side of Bowood
Avenue, from a point 50 metres east of Yonge Street to Bocastle Avenue, to operate from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday
to Friday; and
3. adjust the existing one hour parking limit from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of Bowood
Avenue, from a point 91.4 metres east of Yonge Street to Bocastle Avenue, to operate from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
Monday to Friday.
Conclusions:
Given that the extension of permit parking hours on Bowood Avenue, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road, is
an administrative procedure, it is recommended that the hours be amended to indicate 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a
week.
