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 stopping be prohibited at all times on the north side of Helendale Avenue, between Yonge Street and a point 98.6 metres west, on the south side, between Yonge Street and a point 50 metres west, and between a point 69 metres west of Yonge Street and Duplex Avenue. The stopping prohibitions are necessary to maintain two-way traffic flow.

A passenger loading zone is also recommended in the new layby on the south side of Helendale Avenue, between a point 50 metres west of Yonge Street and a point 19 metres further west. The layby was constructed when the road was narrowed.

The proposed amendments will allow for safe and efficient two-way traffic but will result in the loss of approximately 8 parking spaces (pay and display during the day and overnight permit parking). Paid public parking is available in the new garage within 2376 Yonge Street.
