Community Council Decision
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Requested the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the feasibility of installing a lay-by to facilitate a taxicab stand on the west side of Bay Street, fronting 900 Bay Street.
Origin
Summary
The Macdonald Block Complex (900 Bay Street) is home to 12 cabinet ministers, 15 Ontario government ministries and 3,600 Ontario Public Service employees. The complex includes the Macdonald Block Podium, and the Hearst, Hepburn, Mowat and Ferguson towers.
Given that this office complex generates numerous taxicab requests and that the current parking regulations surrounding this building prohibit stopping and curbside loading/unloading, I'm requesting that Transportation Services investigate the feasibility of installing a lay-by on Bay Street for the purposes of a taxicab stand.
