Parking proposals for Glenvale raise anger

by  • 

Parking on Glenvale Blvd

There is mail zinging around Leaside tonight about proposed parking restrictions on Glenvale Boulevard. Glenvale is that long straight street just south of the CNIB and the other health facilities. It stretches from Bayview Ave. to Brentiffe Rd. Traffic can then slide right down to the corner of Eglinton and Brentcliffe, focus of the LRT burrowing nightmare. One master e-mail tonight is from Paddy Duncan on behalf of the Leaside Property Owners Association (LPOA). The message is angry and it sounds like the LPOA is ready for a fight. The mail says the proposals come from John Parker (Ward 26) and range from no parking on the south side to no parking between 8 a.m. and 10 p;m. But there are a number of alternatives. As reported by Ms Duncan, they include: 

1. No parking on the south side 

2 No parking on the north side from 8 AM to 10 PM

3 One hour parking on the north side from 10 AM to 4 PM
4 No parking on the north side from 4 PM to 6 PM
5 One hour parking on the north side from 6 PM to 8 PM
6 Three hour maximum parking on the north side from 8 PM until the next day at 8 AM
Mr Parker is said to have called a meeting at Northlea United Church, 125 Brentcliffe, at 6.30 p.m.Thursday, March 27, 2014. Says Ms. Duncan: “We are not sure where the impetus for this improvement plan came from, but there is a group of Glenvale residents who are very upset about it and let us know what was afoot last night. They have written to Councillor Parker to indicate their concern and I’m attaching the letter. Some of you may have received it. [It] was distributed to about 40 households (lower end of the street numbers, I think  the author of the letter lives at 22)”

  1. Parking restrictions are necessary, staff at Toronto Rehab/Bloor MacMillan are parking on BOTH sides of the street all day long between Rumsey and Laird making it dangerous to drive down my street. I want parking restrictions during rush hour so I can get in and out of my driveway. Outsiders using Glenvale are the problem, they speed.

    Leaside residents association who LIVE ON GLENVALE are fine, others should mind their own business this is none of their business!!!!!

  2. The parking restrictions are completely ridiculous and should not be approved.

    There is one exception. The three hour limit (whether you like it or not) is already in place and is common across the City of Toronto for non-permit parking. Fighting it (if you want to ) is not a Glenvale specific issue and should be handled outside of this fight.
