Re: Waterfront Permit Parking
Charles Peralta, Owner/Barber, FYF Studio, appeared before Council to speak to
the Waterfront Permit Parking System. Mr. Peralta discussed the negative impact
of the permit parking system on his business, including customers incurring $60
parking fines and the loss of customers as the business is new and relies on walk-
in traffic. He suggested a number of solutions such as offering a grace period,

tickets for their customers.
7.2 Bernadette Recto, Owner, Pilates by Bernadette
Re: Corr. 28-22
Bernadette Recto, Owner, Pilates by Bernadette
Objection to the City’s Proposed Waterfront Paid Parking
Bernadette Recto, Owner, Pilates by Bernadette, appeared before Council to
speak to Corr. 28-22, Objection to the City’s Proposed Waterfront Paid Parking.
Ms. Recto referred to Staff Report BYL 02-21 and that the Report recommended
that staff undertake consultation with local businesses. She added that the
consultation had not yet taken place and requested that Council ask staff to
undertake the direction as noted in Report BYL 02-21. She stated that Pickering’s
waterfront was different from other waterfront municipalities with paid parking, as it
has a business and a residential component which would require special
accommodations to be made. She further added that Report BYL 02-21 discussed
both residential and business parking and the need for public consultation, and
added that if consultation had taken place, that she would like to view the records
of the meeting. Ms. Recto noted that while the system was implemented to
alleviate costs of maintaining the waterfront, it is now taxing those who would like
to shop and work at the waterfront. She spoke to the need for solutions adding
that asking customers to park in residential areas was not a viable solution. Ms.
Recto concluded her delegation by asking that the program be paused until such
time that consultation with the businesses at the waterfront is complete.
A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Ms.
Recto, regarding:
• whether Pilates by Bernadette employed staff residing outside of Pickering;
and,
• whether efforts were made to notify customers of the new parking system.

before Council to speak to Corr. 28-22, Objection to the City’s Proposed
Waterfront Paid Parking. Rev. Walton advised that at an April 7th meeting,
businesses were informed of the way forward but not given an opportunity to
comment on the paid parking system. She discussed how the system isolated
seniors as visitors and that caretakers were fined from $30 to $75, adding that
seniors were also struggling with navigating the online parking permit application
process. She further advised that there was no public transportation to the
Pickering Nautical Village and that with the new paid parking system, employees
were required to pay to work. She spoke to the ways in which Grandads Ice
Cream Parlour was involved and invested in Pickering, and that most of their
customers were coming from outside of Pickering. Rev. Michlynn discussed the
ways in which businesses were starting to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic
and that the new paid parking system had further negatively impacted the success
of small businesses in the area. She discussed communication with Members of
Council and staff and questioned where she should park her vehicle. She asked
for immediate relief for all of the customers who visit the Nautical Village, such as
through a three-hour grace period along both sides of Liverpool Road, and that the
three-hour grace period be extended to visitors of the surrounding communities.
A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Rev.
Michlynn regarding:
• whether consideration for the creation of a BIA should be done in the future
as a long-term solution rather than an immediate solution; and,
• suggestions to alleviate the concerns with the paid parking system.

Re: Municipal Elections and Voter Engagement

time as a Member of Pickering City Council and the female representation within
the Federal Government. She further discussed the negative impacts of voter
apathy, including the City’s ward boundaries remaining the same, and planning
decisions being made in favour of developers. She concluded her delegation by
speaking to the need to trust the new City management to organize a fair and
clean election and encouraged electors to make a plan to vote on Election Day.

the struggle for seniors to operate the parking application, and live musicians

the area, and asked whether the system was discriminating against those who
