Toronto Mayor John Tory has openly warned law-breaking Torontonians that Monday’s ticket and towing crackdown in downtown Toronto was not just a single day effort for point scoring. He stressed that it will continue and alleged to be confident that the new zero-tolerance approach is already sinking in with drivers.
In his remarks, Mayor Tory stated that “repeatedly violating the law and screwing up the lives of thousands of people in this city cannot continue.” During an early-morning brief media blitz, which included a helicopter fly-over, the mayor alleged that “people of Toronto want to get to work on time, they want to get home to their families on time; and that is what this policy is all about … it’s enforcing the law so people can get around.” Due to an increased presence of police and parking enforcement officer in the downtown core, the day ended with almost 70 parking tickets issued and 29 vehicles impounded for blocking lanes during the morning rush hour. Likewise, a similar campaign was carried out during the evening drive home.
On the other hand, the mayor’s office has confirmed to be working with police and city staff to collaboratively “find ways to do things differently” with a variety of businesses. Mayor Tory complimented Canada Post for adjusting its clearing times of many mailboxes so that the vehicles aren’t clogging traffic. He said that “it is possible to respect the law, to help keep traffic moving and to do business effectively and efficiently, all at the same time.”
