10. City Council direct that Church Street be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is complete.

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

This report requests City Council approval to temporarily rescind existing timed parking prohibitions and No stopping prohibitions on Church Street between Adelaide Street East and Queen Street East and temporarily implement a “No Stopping” regulation to be in effect at all times on the east and west sides of Church Street, between Queen Street East and Adelaide Street East. The recommended traffic by-law amendment aims to improve road capacity and transit flow on the section of Church Street, which has been impacted by the TTC 501 Queen streetcar diversion due to the Ontario Line Queen Street closure.
