Any reduction in demand from cars no longer being parked on the street will likely be more than made up for by increased bus ridership. And that means more customers.

Likely parked in garages that were used to park cars, and not store junk, for the first time in a longggggg time. If you've ever strolled the city's laneways any significant chunk of time, the odd open garage door is more often that not filled with everything but a car.

There was zero tone. If you think that response was harsh I don't think you'll last long on here.

As noted, they are probably just parking somewhere slightly further away where they aren't blocking a busy artery. It's not like there's a shortage of parking in this city.

Saw this on Reddit:
Someone in the comments claims they saw the same thing on Dufferin.
I assume this will be fixed under warranty?

Well here's a nice surprise............ The RapidTO (but we're not calling it that yet) set of improvements for the Dundas Streetcar we're amended at Council to extend the improvements to Ossington/Dovercourt depending on the direction of travel (new parking restrictions); and to make a small improvement to the University/Dundas left-turn prohibitions extending those from 6:30 to 7pm nightly, M-S.
