I do feel bad for the UPS, Fedex etc trying to earn a living and do their job. 8 hours have been made useless for delivery not too mention towing cars after 3 tickets is a bit over the top.
New rules will be announced at city hall on Tuesday, making parking illegally in Toronto much more expensive.
According to a , the new rules will mean the city will be able to tow your vehicle if you have three undisputed, unpaid tickets on your record and a fourth is being issued. Clickhere for a map of where cars end up once they’re towed.
There will be a 14-day grace period to pay outstanding tickets before that new law kicks in on Thursday — two days after the city announces the changes.
Parking officers will also be able to issue tickets for expired licence plate tags on parked cars. Previously, police pulled cars over to issue that fine.
And tickets for parking on busy streets during rush hour will more than double to a $150 fixed fine, meaning a judge can’t discount a disputed fine. The old charge was $60.
Rush hour parking bans apply from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Meanwhile at city hall, Mayor Rob Ford says he didn’t even know the new rules were approved.
The mayor called the new regulations a “cash grab” and said businesses would be the ones hurt the most.
