Introduction of Bills Respecting Permit Parking
(Trinity-Niagara, Davenport, Midtown, Downtown and Don River)
The Toronto Community Council recommends that staff be authorized to introduce the Bills attached to the report (February 4, 1998) from the Commissioner of City Works Services respecting permit parking.
The Toronto Community Council submits the report (February 4, 1998) from the Commissioner of City Works Services:
Purpose:
To get Council=s authority as required under new procedural by-law to introduce Bills in Council respecting changes to permit parking schedules.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that staff be authorized to introduce the attached Bills respecting permit parking to City Council at its meeting of March 4 and 5, 1998.
Comments:
A number of routine requests have been received from members of Council to implement permit parking or extend the operating hours of permit parking on various streets, as listed below.
Under the procedural rules of the former City of Toronto City Council, requests by a Councillor to introduce permit parking or extend the hours of permit parking were reviewed by staff of City Works Services and, if feasible, the necessary Bills to amend Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking of the Municipal Code were introduced directly to Council.
Under the new procedural by-law, these matters must now be brought to Council through a Standing Committee.
I am attaching Bills respecting changes to permit parking regulations on City streets as follows:
Street Requested by Details
Jean Street Councillor John Adams Extension of hours of permit parking from
(Ward 23) 12:01 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. to 12:01 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Awde Street Councillor Mario Silva Introduction of permit parking to operate from
