Item - 2024.TE16.60

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Rescinded the existing parking machines regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Friday; from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, at a rate of $4.00 per hour and for a maximum period of three hours, on the north side of Adelaide Street East, between George Street and Frederick Street.
 

2. Authorized the installation of parking machines on the north side of Adelaide Street East, between George Street and a point 36 metres west of Frederick Street, to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, for a maximum period of three hours and at a rate of $4.00 per hour.
 

3. Designated a commercial loading zone to be in effect at all times, on the north side of Adelaide Street East, between a point 30 metres west of Frederick Street and a point 6 metres further west.

Toronto’s First Post Office at 260 Adelaide Street East is an important historical and educational site. In addition to housing a free museum, it operates as a full-service post office.

For many years, Toronto’s First Post Office had a loading zone that was used to assist with customers and deliveries. When bike lanes were installed on the north side of Adelaide Street East, the loading zone in front of their building that serviced the post office and other nearby businesses was removed.

I am asking that a loading zone be reinstated to support the daily operations of Toronto’s First Post Office.
