Summary

In 2022, Transportation staff received approval to install an accessible loading zone at 90 Dunn Avenue (formerly 150 Dunn Avenue) to accommodate Wheel Trans service at this location. Agenda Item History - 2022.TE34.172 (toronto.ca)

 

City Transportation Service staff have been advised that Wheeltrans vehicles have recently been modified and now only require 26 metre space to maneuver space rather than the originally approved 36 metres. The recommendations in my letter are to accommodate the need for on-street parking and still meet Wheeltrans’ requirement.
