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 that the existing parking prohibition on the west side of Morrison Street, between Adelaide Street West and the south end of Morrison Street, be changed to a stopping prohibition.  The proposed amendment will discourage illegal parking and improve unobstructed two-way traffic flow and sightlines for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on Morrison Street.

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there were discrepancies between posted signs and the existing parking regulations.  Recommendations 3 - 7 will correct these inconsistencies.
