Origin
Summary
At its meeting of March 22, 2011, Toronto and East York Community Council in dealing with Item TE5.32 (Parking Amendments - Barton Avenue, from Christie Street to Bathurst Street) requested Transportation Services to report on the effectiveness of mid-block staggered parking as a further means of traffic calming on this street.
Based on our review, the impacts associated with the introduction of staggered parking have been positive in reducing the speed and volume of traffic on this section of Barton Avenue. Therefore, we recommended that staggered parking remain in place.
