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 stopping prohibition on the north side of Spring Garden Avenue, between a point 115 metres east of Yonge Street and Doris Avenue, be amended to allow short-term 10 minute parking between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The proposed amendment will provide short term parking during the arrival and dismissal times for Claude Watson School for the Arts (CWSA) located on the north side of the street.

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendation 7 will correct this inconsistency.
