Community Council Decision

Origin
Summary
These bylaw changes were developed and informed through the stakeholder and public consultation for the Bartlett-Havelock-Gladstone Cycling Connections project. While City Council approved delegated authority for the bylaws associated with the project, further approval is required as these changes were not included in the delegated authority.
Parking is currently on the north side of Cross Street except when prohibited every Thursday between April and November (inclusive). On Thursdays during those months, parking is permitted only on the south side of Cross Street. This motion is to affix parking on the north side of Cross Street at all times, which will allow deliveries to the Fairview Nursing Home any day of the week, and to provide added convenience for on-street permit parking holders by requiring them to move their vehicles on Thursdays. The accessible loading zone on the south side will remain.
A stop sign southbound on Gladstone at Alma Avenue is added as part of the Gladstone contra-flow bike lane project.
