Council Reference/Background/History:

Currently, parking is prohibited between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on both sides of Hobart Drive from the southerly limit of Seneca Hill Drive to a point 155 metres southerly thereof.

Discussions:

This department has been advised by a resident that when vehicles are parked adjacent to and in front his residence, two way traffic and access/egress from his driveway is restricted. Numerous requests to the Toronto Police for enforcement of illegal parking activities have proven ineffective.
