between Avon Avenue and Leigh Street
Ward 27, York Humber
The York Community Council recommends that:
(1)on-street permit parking be implemented on the north side of Feltham Avenue
between Avon Avenue and Leigh Street; and
(2)the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary
action to give effect thereto.
The York Community Council submits the following communication (January 28, 1999)
from Councillor Frances Nunziata:
The York Community Council at its meeting held on January 20, 1999, considered a report
dated December 15, 1998 from the City Clerk, advising of the poll results undertaken on a
block by block basis on Feltham Avenue between Spears Street and Avon Avenue.
You will note in the report, that the conclusions indicate that the majority of residents polled,
as a hole, were not in favour of the proposal. However, in reviewing the report, the poll results
received from the residents on Feltham Avenue (north side) between Avon Avenue and Leigh
Street, revealed that the respondents were 100 percent in favour of on-street permit parking.
In view of the above, I would like to request that the York Community Council approve the
introduction of on-street permit parking on Feltham Avenue between Avon Avenue and
LeighStreet, based on the results of the block by block poll.
The relevant information is attached for your assistance.
