Subject:Conversion of New Street, between Davenport Road and the West End of New Street, from 'Area Based Permit
Parking' to 'Street Name Based Permit Parking' (Midtown)
Purpose:
To convert permit parking on New Street, between Davenport Road and the west end of New Street, from 'Area Based
Permit Parking' to 'Street Name Based Permit Parking' with the current hours of 24 hours daily, 7 days a week. As this
matter is of public interest, it is scheduled as a deputation item.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
The Toronto Community Council may recommend that:
1. City Council deny the conversion of permit parking on New Street, between Davenport Road and the west end of New
Street, from 'Area Based Permit Parking' to 'Street Name Based Permit Parking';
OR
2. (a)permit parking on New Street, between Davenport Road and the west end of New Street, be converted from 'Area
Based Permit Parking' to 'Street Name Based Permit Parking'; and
(b)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 John Adams, on behalf of the residents, to have permit parking on New Street,
between Davenport Road and the west end of New Street, converted from 'Area Based Permit Parking' to 'Street Name
Based Permit Parking'.
Comments:
New Street is authorized for permit parking on an area basis, within permit parking area 5E, and the hours of operation are
24 hours daily, 7 days a week.
In area 5E, there are 532 on-street permit parking spaces with 505 permits issued to date. On New Street itself, there are 3
on-street permit parking spaces with a total of 3 permits issued to residents on the street.
The conversion of permit parking on New Street, between Davenport Road and the west end of New Street, 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 by posting a notice in the newspaper. A notice on the deprivation of permit parking was
placed in the Toronto Star on February 24, 1999 and no objections were received.
Conclusions:
New Street, between Davenport Road and the west end of New Street, has already reached 100% space allocation. Any
further applications for permit parking would have to be placed on a waiting list.
On hearing of deputations, the Toronto Community Council must decide whether or not to recommend that permit parking
be converted to a street name basis on the section of New Street.
