Toronto's 2.8 million parking tickets issued in 2010 get revealed on interactive map
Officials wrote 2.8 million parking tickets in Toronto last year, and the data on these tickets was recently released to Global News via the City of Toronto's access-to-information laws.
Global News data journalist Patrick Cain used the raw data to plot an interactive map highlighting the hotspots. As it turns out, hospitals are major issuers of parking tickets. For example, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre's Bayview wrote 13,240 tickets in 2010—that's 36 a day—and there are four hotspots surrounding Toronto East General Hospital with 500-plus tickets written.
Also hot for parking tickets were the downtown University of Toronto campus and certain neighbourhoods such as The Distillery District and Greektown.
