The Toronto Community Council submits the following report (January 21, 1998) from the Commissioner, City Works Services:
Purpose:
This proposal is intended to increase parking availability for residents.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
(1) That the parking prohibition at anytime on the north side of Richmond Street West from a point 38.1 metres east of Tecumseth Street to a point 33.5 metres further east, be rescinded; and
(2) That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.
Comments:
At the request of former Ward 4 City of Toronto Councillor Martin Silva on behalf of local residents, staff have investigated the feasibility of rescinding the parking prohibition at anytime on the north side of Richmond Street West from a point 38.1 metres east of Tecumseth Street to a point 33.5 metres further east.
This regulation was implemented in 1976 at the request of a business owner at the rear of Premises No. 129 Tecumseth Street. As this business no longer operates at this address, there is no longer a need for the parking prohibition at this location.
Parking demand by local residents has increased in the past three years due to the conversion of Premises Nos. 670 and 676 Richmond Street West from commercial to residential use. Rescinding the parking prohibition at anytime on the north side of Richmond Street West from a point 38.1 metres east of Tecumseth Street to a point 33.5 metres further east will create nine additional parking spaces for residents (and parking permit holders in area 4I), enhancing parking opportunity on this street.
