Origin
Summary
Residents and management of Hazelton Place Retirement Residence at 111 Avenue Road have requested an amendment to the existing parking regulations directly in front in front of the entrance to their building, so that two of the spaces that are currently pay-and-display are reserved for Wheel-Trans, accessible parking permit holders, and emergency vehicles, in the form of an Accessible Loading Zone.
Many of Hazelton Place's residents experience significant mobility issues, and they have great difficulty travelling further to access their transportation when these spaces are already occupied.
