Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to obtain City Council authority to amend hourly rates and hours of operation (that is, the period of time when payment is required for parking) to a number of on-street paid parking spaces in the City of Toronto. The Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) comprehensively reviewed the on-street paid parking program, specifically the existing hourly parking rates, parking utilization, and the hours of operation. Based on the changes made in the last rate review in 2015 and the performance of the on-street program since, this review specifically focuses on the hourly on-street rate structure charged throughout the City with minor geographic boundary changes for hourly rate areas, and minor revisions to the hours of operation in which parking fees are charged. These changes are based on the parking usage and area changes experienced in the on-street program in 2016 compared to prior years.
This report also responds to Council's requests for information on:
- areas where on-street parking rates have not increased significantly despite robust local economic growth; and
- on-street parking rate structure in comparison to other jurisdictions.
