A little more than a month ago we told you that Councillor Paula Fletcher (Ward 30, Toronto-Danforth) was approaching the public works committee with a proposal to create an overnight parking pass. Well, we've got good news.

The public works committee has approved an $8 overnight (24-hour) and a $12 weekend (48-hour) parking pass. That means bands coming through town for one night only can get a pas through the City of Toronto website and can spend the night without fear of waking up to a parking ticket. The measure just needs to be approved by council, which it is expected to do, and passes should be available by July 1st.
