Basically everywhere in downtown Toronto has no parking after midnight. For those of you living in houses/semi's in Toronto, what do you do with your guests who may stay the night or at least late - past midnight?
Find a street that does allow overnight parking (there's a few ... though technically no one can park anywhere for more 3 hours without a permit, but that's seldom enforced unless someone complains); obtain a temporary permit, use a Green P lot, or find a friend with an empty spot for the night.Basically everywhere in downtown Toronto has no parking after midnight.

I haven't even seen a snow route sign for a couple of years, and I don't believe that this has ever been in effect since at least Lastman was mayor.Problem with parking on most main streets over night is in the winter. Most (if not all) street that are not permit parking are snow routes. From I believe either Nov. 1 or Dec. 1 to April 1st you cannot park on any main street from 2am to 6am. Its a good parking rule because if there was a snow fall and cars were parking on major streets the city snow removal wouldn't be able to get the right lane cleared and come rush hour the right lane would be filled with snow mounds.

The city still has a snow route page - http://www.toronto.ca/transportation/snow/emergency.htm though you can see that it's only in effect after the declaration of a snow emergency; I'm not aware of any such declaration this decade, or the previous one.
Where have you seen this in effect since the 1990s?
When and where was this? The website clearly says "The declaration of a snow emergency will be publicized in the media." and it's been years since I remember hearing the media mention that a snow emergency had been declared.It is definitely enforced in North York (or the region of Toronto that was North York) ... I know this because I have been ticketed on a non-permit street for this.

You were probably ticketed for overnight parking which is illegal all year round. I have never (and I should know better than to use the "never" word) heard of permitted street parking in the former North York.
Waiting patiently for examples of permit parking to be posted.
