Background:
A request was received from Councillor Joe Pantalone, on behalf of the residents, to introduce overnight permit parking on
the north side of the first lane north of Queen Street West, east of Crawford Street, on an area basis, within permit parking
area 4H, to operate during the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
Comments:
Under the provisions 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 February 19, 1999, with the last date for filling a response being March 22, 1999. The results of
the poll are as follows:
Polling Summary
The subject lane measures 4.2 metres wide at the narrowest point and 7.4 metres wide at the portion of the lane where
parking is proposed. A field survey has determined that there are two (2) potential permit parking spaces available on the
north side of this widened portion of the lane, after factoring in the 15 metre "No Parking" restriction from a dead end.
The majority of the ballots returned are in favour of overnight permit parking on the north side of the first lane north of
Queen Street West, east of Crawford Street. It is therefore, recommended that permit parking be introduced on the north
side of the first lane north of Queen Street West, east of Crawford Street, on an area basis, within permit parking area 4H,
to operate during the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.
