Summary

On behalf of Mirvish Productions, in consultation with Transportation Services and the Toronto Downtown West BIA, I’m requesting that the parking regulations on Pearl Street (Simcoe Street to John Street) fronting the theatre’s stage door, loading docks, and garbage bins be increased to deter parking. Motorists displaying accessible parking permits are parking in these areas and blocking access.

 

As part of the parking amendment noted above, Transportation Services conducted a detailed on-street parking review on this section of Pearl Street. During their investigation, staff discovered various discrepancies between the traffic by-laws and posted parking regulations on this section of Pearl Street. The parking amendments noted in the table will address this matter.

 

Transportation Services also recommends the addition of parking prohibitions fronting other driveways on this roadway and the designation of areas that will provide short-term parking for delivery vehicles to address this demand.
