The overall ballots returned on Davenport Road, between Christie Street and Bathurst Street
are 34 opposed and 47 in favour, and between Christie Street and Ossington Avenue are 37
opposed and 47 in favour.
A field survey has determined that there are 86 potential on-street permit parking spaces
available on both sides of Davenport Road, between Christie and Ossington Avenue, and 103
potential on-street parking spaces available on both sides of Davenport Road, between
Christie Street and Bathurst Street.
Conclusions:
The majority of the overall ballots returned are in favour of permit parking on both sides of
Davenport Road, from Christie Street to Bathurst Street, and from Ossington Avenue to
Christie Street. It is, therefore, recommended that permit parking be introduced on Davenport
Road, on a street name basis, to operate during the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., 7 days
a week.
