Fire Route Ticket - Exemption/route Not Designated
Hi,
I have a friend who just got nailed for a $250 parking ticket is his apartment semi-circular private driveway.
He says he never normally parks there, thought people use this spot for loading/unloading groceries and moving etc.
He said he stopped this time because he was feeling sick (imminently) and this location was much closer to the elevator to his apartment than his parking spot.
He was apparently gone about 20 minutes.

He wants to dispute it based on extenuating circumstances. He's only ever fought one ticket many years ago.
Thoughts on that?

Second, when he told me this, I looked up his apartment in the City of Toronto by-law. Schedule A
The property is NOT listed.
My reading of the by-law is that even if the designation was under a pre-amalgamation by law, the location SHALL (must) be listed in schedule A.
I told him he'd be better off challenging the ticket on the basis that this location is NOT designated a Fire Route
Thoughts?
