Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Dianne Saxe be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Re-opening and Amending Item 2024 TE13.42 - Keeping Dundas Street Streetcar Moving Through Chinatown: Temporary Adjustments to Parking Regulations on Dundas Street West
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent because changes must be made to the current parking restrictions in time for the Christmas shopping season for the benefit of the Chinatown businesses, and to correct an error in the original motion.
Speaker Nunziata advised Council that consideration of Motion MM23.35 requires a re-opening of Item 2024.TE13.42 (May 22 and 23, 2024 City Council meeting). A two-thirds vote of the Council Members present is required to re-open the Item.
