Parking amendments are recommended on Boulton Avenue with respect to the City-wide review of impacts from changes to school operating times directed through IE12.15. Since June 2020 when these changes were implemented - Dundas Junior Public School staff, TDSB Trustee Ehrhardt, and affected parents have expressed safety concerns regarding the signage on Boulton Avenue, south of Dundas Street East. Transportation staff recommends the following amendments to alleviate traffic and ensure safe pick up and drop off for students, parents, school bus drivers, and residents alike.
