Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Bay Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

Transportation Services is recommending that the existing taxi stands for two taxis on the east side of Bay Street at a point 30.5 metres north of Wellesley Street West be removed.  The existing two taxi stands were installed for the Sutton Place Hotel previously located at 955 Bay Street.  The hotel is no longer at this location, and the taxi stands are not required.
