The lack of permit parking on Blantyre Ave in Scarborough is unfairly leaving residents saddled with unpredictable numbers of $40 tickets.
This impacts visitors who park on-street for 3+ hours; residents of multi-generational homes who may rely on more vehicles than they have driveway space for; tenants in multi-tenant houses (or rooming houses) who may occasionally need to park on-street; carshare operators who cannot offer their services without a reliable, accessible place to leave vehicles; and, others in our community.
As residents, we can request the City consider allowing permit parking on Blantyre Ave, following a 3-step process:
- Residents submit an unofficial petition requesting an official poll from the City Clerk about allowing permit parking
- The City Clerk administers an official poll to residents on whether to allow permit parking
- City Council makes a final decision on whether to allow permit parking
