Origin

(January 31, 2022) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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

 

Transportation Services is recommending that the existing parking prohibition on the north side of Cosburn Avenue, in the vicinity of the underground garage ramp to 50 Cosburn Avenue, be upgraded to a standing prohibition.  The proposed amendment will deter parking near the ramp by accessible permits holders and improve sightlines for vehicles and cyclists.

 

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations.  Recommendation 3 will correct this inconsistency.
