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 east side of Morgan Avenue be replaced with a maximum 10 minutes parking regulation. In addition, Transportation Services is recommending that the existing school bus loading zone on the west side of Penhurst Avenue be extended further south and that stopping be prohibited on the east side of Penhurst Drive, opposite the school.

The proposed amendments will provide short-term parking to facilitate pick-up and drop-off of school children at St. Louis Catholic School, provide additional space for school buses and improve traffic operations in the area of the school.
