from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 2:00 a.m. to 7:00a.m., 7 days a week;
2.Schedule H of Municipal Code Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code be
amended to incorporate Bowood Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and Ronan Avenue; and
3.the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto, including the
introduction of all necessary bills.
Background:
A request was received from Councillor Michael Walker to have the permit parking hours on Bowood Avenue reduced
from the current hours of 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 2:00a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Comments:
Bowood Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and Ronan Avenue, is authorized for permit parking on a street name
basis, and the hours of operation are 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week. This portion of Bowood Avenue has a total of
21 permits issued against 49 on-street parking spaces.
The reduction of permit parking hours on Bowood Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and Ronan Avenue, is a
"deprivation" to permit holders. Under the procedures adopted by the former Toronto City Council, we are required to
notify all affected permit holders. A notice on the deprivation of permit parking hours was mailed to all permit holders on
December 18, 1998, with January 14, 1999 as the last date to respond, and no objections were received.
Conclusions:
Given that there were no objections received, it is recommended that the permit parking hours on Bowood Avenue,
between Mount Pleasant Road to Ronan Avenue, be amended to indicate 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7days a week.
