Background:
City Council, at its meeting of March 2, 3 and 4, 1999, gave consideration to Clause 45 contained in Report No. 4 of the
Toronto Community Council, headed "Introduction of Pay-and-Display Parking Machines where Parking is Currently
Allowed - Queen Street East, both sides, from Coxwell Avenue to Woodbine Avenue". Council adopted the Clause
without amendment, and by so doing, recommended, among other things, a poll be conducted of the residents of Queen
Street East with respect to the introduction of permit parking on the north side of Queen Street East, between Rainsford
Road and Kingston Road.
Comments:
Under the provision of Municipal Code Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code,
we are required to conduct a poll of the residents to determine if there is support to introduce permit parking.
Ballots were mailed out on June 3, 1999, with the last date for filling a response being July 5, 1999. The results of the poll
are as follows:
Polling Summary
A field survey has determined that there are thirty seven (37) potential on-street permit parking spaces available on the
north side of Queen Street East, between Rainsford Road and Kingston Road
The majority of the ballots returned are in favour of permit parking on Queen Street East, between Rainsford Road and
Kingston Road. It is therefore, recommended that permit parking be introduced on the north side of Queen Street East,
between Rainsford Road and Kingston Road, on an area basis within permit area 9C, to operate during the hours of 12:01
a.m. to 7:00 a.m., Monday to Friday and 12:01 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., Saturday and Sunday.
