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 school bus loading zone on the south side of Chartland Boulevard South, in front of Iroquois Junior Public School, be enhanced with a no standing prohibition east and west of the existing school bus loading zone, amending the duration time of the existing no stopping prohibition on the north side of Chartland Boulevard South and prohibit U-turn movements in the vicinity of this school zone.  The proposed recommendations will improve the safe movement of the large number of school buses and further facilitate a safe student pick-up and drop-off activities of school children in front of this school zone.
