Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Recommendations:
The Toronto Community Council may recommend that:
(1)the permit parking hours of operation on Valifor Place, between the Canadian National Railway and Torbrick Road,
be reduced from 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., 7 days a week;
(2)Schedule E of Municipal Code Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code, be
amended to incorporate Valifor Place, between the Canadian National Railway and Torbrick Road; 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 Sandra Bussin to have the permit parking hours reduced on Valifor Place, between
the Canadian National Railway and Torbrick Road, from the current hours of 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week, to
2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Comments:
Valifor Place, between the Canadian National Railway and Torbrick Road, is authorized for permit parking on an area
basis, within permit parking area 8B, and the hours of operation are 12:01 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Permit area 8B has a total of 2,377 on-street parking spaces with 1,959 permits issued to date. On Valifor Place itself, there
are 8 on-street permit parking spaces with a total of 4 permits issued to residents on the street.
The reduction of permit parking hours on Valifor Place, between the Canadian National Railway and Torbrick Road, 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 Sun on May 18, 1999 and no objections were received.
Conclusions:
Given that there were no objections received, it is recommended that the permit parking hours on Valifor Place, between
the Canadian National Railway and Torbrick Road, be amended to indicate 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
