A physician practising at Sunnybroook Health Sciences Centre has been told she will have to pay $70,537 in municipal legal fees for fighting a parking ticket she received on South Bayview in November. 2007. Dr. Anna Marie Arenson, whose husband is a lawyer, has fought a five-year battle to have her concerns treated as a class action lawsuit. The action would have permitted other motorists who felt that Bayview’s Pay and Display meters were simply not working during a storm that encrusted them with ice and snow to join the action. Dr. Arenson, a radiologist at Sunnybrook, said she tried a number of meters on the day in question. None of them produced a ticket that she could display. She went to lunch and came back to a $31 ticket on her windshield. Full story.
