This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City Policy or by-laws.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to permit maximum 15-minute parking on the south side of Heath Street East, between Alvin Avenue (south branch) and the eastern terminus of Heath Street East, and also to prohibit stopping on the north side of Heath Street East, opposite the time-limited parking area.

The proposed amendments will facilitate pick-up and drop-off activity for Deer Park Junior and Senior Public School, help to maintain two-way vehicular traffic on the subject section of Heath Street East and increase the safety of pedestrians walking on the south sidewalk to and from Deer Park Junior and Senior Public School or David Balfour Park Trail.
