Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to obtain City Council authority to apply consumer price inflation adjustments to the on-street machine/metered spaces in the City of Toronto. If adopted, this report will result in the following:
- On-street machine/metered spaces currently at $3.50 (inclusive of HST) per hour, will be increased to a rate of $4.00 (inclusive of HST) per hour;
- On-street machine/metered spaces currently at $2.50 (inclusive of HST) per hour, will be increased to a rate of $3.00 (inclusive of HST) per hour; and,
- On-street machine/metered spaces currently at $2.00 (inclusive of HST) per hour will be increased to a rate of $2.25 (inclusive of HST) per hour.
These existing hourly rates have been in place since the fall of 2007.
The overall impact of the proposed changes will result in the average hourly rate at machine/metered spaces increasing from its current level of $1.92 (inclusive of HST) per hour to an average of $2.13 (inclusive of HST) per hour, which constitutes an increase of 11% which is in line with the 10% increase in the Toronto CPI over the 2007 to 2012 time frame.
