    Metro Toronto Convention Centre Revitalization | Province of Ontario

    Parking - Catch All

    As I noted above, rate hikes are coming to on-street parking via a report to next week's TPA meeting. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2026/pa/bgrd/backgroundfile-284939.pdf Of note, the majority of the increases are small, only .25c per hour, which I expect is the result of the...
