Request to Amend the Existing Parking Limit -
Millbank Avenue, from Strathearn Boulevard to Vesta Drive
(Midtown)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (January 12, 1998) from the Commissioner, City Works Services:
Purpose:
To amend the existing 2 hour maximum parking limit from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily on
both sides of Millbank Avenue, from Strathearn Boulevard to Vesta Drive, to operate from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday only.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) the existing 2 hour maximum parking limit from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., daily, on both sides of Millbank Avenue, from Strathearn Boulevard to Vesta Drive, be adjusted to apply from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday; and
(2) the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.
Comments:
Area residents forwarded a petition to former Councillor Howard Joy in October 1997 requesting that consideration be given to amending the parking regulations on Millbank Avenue as noted above.
In the petition area residents indicated that the current regulations are penalizing visitors and residents who are receiving parking tags while parked in front of area homes after 6:00 p.m. at night and on weekends. Originally, the 2 hour maximum parking restriction was implemented to deter long term non-resident parking on Millbank Avenue. The residents have indicated that the recommended amendments noted above would deter long term non-resident parking during the day and still provide for resident and visitor parking in the evenings and on weekends.
The recommendations in this report will alleviate the concerns of the residents on Millbank Avenue and I advise that I concur with their request.
