Bayview parking tickets a gift from City that keeps on taking

Gino Piscelli was complaining on the Leaside Community Facebook page this week about a parking ticket issued on Bayview Ave. He rightly observes the that relentless tax collection methods of the City have a lot to do with changing business conditions on the street. Laird Ave is now sufficiently varied that people can get what they want with free parking thrown in. Mr. Piscelli says he did not receive the stipulated five-minute grace period  — the ticket was issued to the minute at the same time as his time expired — 12.44 p.m. But, as other posters noted, the reason for the ticket is given as failure to display. This could mean a lot of things and there is no further detail in the online exchange.
