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

Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of a designated on-street accessible loading zone on the south side of Dundas Street West, between Keele Street and Indian Grove, to operate at all times except from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday.  The establishment of this accessible loading zone will provide unimpeded curbside access for the Wheel-Trans users and accessible permit holders visiting the Toronto Orthopedic Services at 2829 Dundas Street West.

During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered a discrepancy between the by-lawed parking regulations and the posted signage on the south side of Dundas Street West, between Keele Street and Indian Grove.  Recommendation 5 will rectify this inconsistency.
