Some parking fines in Toronto will more than triple as of today but Mayor Olivia Chow says that the changes are necessary and not something she is willing to apologize for.
Some parking fines in Toronto will more than triple as of today in a move Mayor Olivia Chow says is necessary and not something she is willing to apologize for.
City staff have previously said that the increased fines could result in an additional $40 to $50 million in annual revenue for the municipality. She said that the change to the fine for parking a prohibited vehicle in a bike lane is particularly pertinent in the wake of a collision that killed a 24-year-old cyclist on Bloor Street West near Avenue Road last week.
