Does the 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM 'no overnight parking' rule at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch apply to boat trailers, and are there any exceptions for late-night or early-morning boaters?

Detailed answer

The City of Toronto's municipal code generally prohibits overnight parking between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch, located at 401 Cherry Street. This rule applies to all vehicles, including boat trailers. However, an exception may be made for boat trailers that are actively loading or unloading boats during these hours. According to the City's by-laws, a vehicle is considered 'overnight parking' if it remains stationary for more than 3 hours between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Boat trailers that are in the process of launching or retrieving a boat may be allowed to remain in the designated launch area for a short period, typically not exceeding 30 minutes, to facilitate safe loading/unloading operations. It's essential for boaters to be aware that the dedicated boat trailer launch area is subject to a maximum parking duration of 30 minutes, as per sign postings. For more information, boaters can contact the City of Toronto's Parks and Recreation department or visit their website at www.toronto.ca.
