This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services is recommending short-term parking be provided on the south side, and no stopping on the north side of Stamford Square South in the vicinity of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School.  The proposed changes will allow for parents/guardians to pick-up/drop-off students near the schools frontage and prevent students from crossing the road after getting picked-up/dropped-off by parents.  The proposed changes will allow for two-way traffic flow and reduce congestion on Stamford Square South during the schools start and end times.
