Background:
City Council at its meeting of December 16 & 17, 1998, amended Clause No. 3 of Report No. 16, entitled "Extension of
Permit Parking Hours - Westport Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Davenport Road (Davenport)". Council
requested the foregoing Clause be amended to provide that the extended permit parking hours also apply to Old Weston
Road, between Davenport Road and Westport Avenue, and that the authority be granted for the introduction of any
necessary bills in Council to give effect thereto.
Comments:
Old Weston Road, between Davenport Road and Westport Avenue, is not licenced for permit parking. 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 May 12, 1999, with the last date for filling a response being June 11, 1999. The results of the
poll are as follows:
Polling Summary
A field survey has determined that there are seven (7) potential on-street permit parking spaces available on the east side
of Old Weston Road, between Davenport Road and Westport Avenue.
The provisions of Municipal Code Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code,
provides the authority to license permit parking on City streets and does not provide the authority to license former Metro
Roads (main arterial roads).
The majority of the ballots returned are in favour of implementing permit parking on the east side of Old Weston Road,
between Davenport Road and Westport Avenue, within permit area 3D, to operate during the hours of 12:01 a.m. to 6:00
p.m., 7 days a week.
The Toronto Community Council must decide whether or not to recommend permit parking be introduced on a former
Metro Road (main arterial road) where authority currently does not exist.
