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

Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of a designated on-street accessible loading zone on the north side of Dundas Street West, between Keele Street and Pacific Avenue.  The accessible loading zone will operate at all times except from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.  The establishment of this accessible loading zone will provide unimpeded curbside access for the Wheel-Trans users and accessible permit holders visiting the Community Junction located at 2934 Dundas Street West.

During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered a discrepancy between the by-lawed parking regulations and the posted signage on the north side of Dundas Street West.  Recommendation 5 will rectify this inconsistency.
