Toronto Multiplexes Are Tightening Street Parking | Watch Today’s Real Estate Updates & Tips

Toronto residents near Dufferin-Dupont say more multiplexes have made street parking harder, sometimes forcing drivers to park blocks away, especially at night or with groceries.
Recently, local council backed a motion to study limits on street parking passes for new multiplexes while still encouraging public transit use.
Toronto currently sets no permit cap per address; applicants need ID, vehicle registration and occupancy proof, and 6-mo permits cost ~$165 per vehicle.
