Origin

(November 24, 2021) Letter from Councillor Joe Cressy, Ward 10, Spadina-Fort York

Summary

Transportation Services received a complaint regarding the removal of a commercial loading zone fronting a business at 545 King Street West.  Staff investigated and found the commercial loading zone was removed as result of the establishment of a construction access gate for a nearby development site, which will also serve as the permanent access to the building's underground parking.   

 

This motion seeks to expedite the re-location of this commercial loading zone which is urgently needed by a nearby business.  During the course of staff's investigation, they identified an inconsistency in the by-laws and the signed conditions on King Street West.  Recommendation 4 will correct this inconsistency.
