The Parking Authority of Toronto, in consultation with Councillor Pam McConnell, Councillor Jack Layton and Mr.

parking meters be installed on the commercial flankage of several streets intersecting with Danforth Avenue between
Broadview Avenue and Dewhurst Boulevard to enhance parking opportunity for visitors and business patrons.
Parking meters could be installed on sections of Gough Avenue, Ferrier Avenue, Woodycrest Avenue, Arundel Avenue,
Bowden Street, Eaton Avenue, Langford Avenue and Dewhurst Boulevard, as outlined in Item Nos. 13, 14, and 15,
contained in Appendix A of this report. This proposal adds 2 additional parking spaces in permit parking area 8A and will
establish 28 additional parking meter spaces in the Greektown Area. I note that these metered spaces are on sections of
street authorized for permit parking. However, permit holders are exempt from paying at the parking meters.
