no more free parking

[throwaway0921]

During the October 8, 2013, City Council meeting there will be a debate on whether to continue to allow motorcycles and scooters to park for free on the street:

Requiring motorcycles to pay between 25 and 50 per cent of the hourly rate for full-sized vehicles — in newly designated motorcycle parking areas — would generate up to $250,000 per year, says a staff report signed by Stephen Buckley, general manager of transportation services.

Motorcyclists initially would be offered free parking in these new designated spots, while the Toronto Parking Authority shifts to a “pay-by-plate” payment system that doesn’t involve paper receipts, the report says.

If you do not want this to happen, and you live in the city, please contact the local councillor of your home. If you do not live in the city, but perhaps work in it and commute, contact the councillor for the ward of your place of employ:

Edit: the title should have a question mark, as it's still up in the air.
