INQUIRIES

Councillor K. Egli (OCC 11-17)

Some landlords have recently introduced a new policy regarding parking. In particular, they have begun charging for the use of visitor parking spots. This change has led to a number of complaints in my office as well as others I am sure. City staff has thus far indicated that the City has no say in regulating this sort of change. However, it has recently come to my attention that other cities, such as Toronto, have passed a bylaw to deal with this sort of situation.

I would like staff to review the Toronto experience and any other relevant examples they can find in Ontario and report back to Council as to what options there may be going forward to address the situation.

In particular, I would like to understand the rationale behind why Toronto believes it has the authority to be involved in the regulation of this type of parking change.

 

ADJOURNMENT

Council adjourned the meeting at 10:31 a.m.
