Summary

I’m writing to request support to shift from the current "No Stopping 7:30-9:30 AM and 3:30-6:30 PM" to a more effective "No Stopping Anytime" along Lower Jarvis and Jarvis Street, South of Queen. This change aims to deter illegal parking and enhance traffic flow.

 

Moreover, with the imminent completion of St. Lawrence Market North, we anticipate increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic. By ensuring smoother traffic flow on the ground level and directing parking to the future Green P Parking garage to the north, we can keep traffic along Jarvis and Lower Jarvis flowing smoothly and safely.
