Fines for 125 parking offences will rise in Toronto on August 1st, city council decided on Wednesday.Posted: Apr 17, 2024 10:34 PM EDT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago
Coun. Jennifer McKelvie's motion, which passed 20 to 1, directs city staff to review all parking penalty amounts in five years and report back to council. Staff had proposed higher rates earlier, but McKelvie's motion revamped some of the fine amounts. "I think we quickly realized in discussions with council colleagues that maybe we need to go with more of a Goldilocks approach, as we had some bears that thought that the fines were too high, and we had some bears that thought that the fines were too low, and I think in the end city staff have come back with fines that are really just right," McKelvie told council chambers.
McKelvie said Toronto motorists all have the option of simply parking legally and not paying the fine. "There was a little bit of sticker shock with some of my colleagues on just how high some of the fines were raising," she said.City staff told councillors that change would encourage drivers to follow the rules.
