This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

The Ward Councillor has received numerous complaints from area residents and local businesses regarding vehicles parking on both sides of Lippincott Street, between Bloor Street West and Lennox Street. This activity negatively impacts sightlines, traffic flow and pedestrian safety.  In particular, tour buses are parking long-term at Lippincott Street and Bloor Street West, impacting traffic operations at this intersection and pedestrian safety.

Transportation Services recommends enhancing the current parking regulations on this section of Lippincott Street to further deter on-street parking. In addition, staff are recommending the establishment of a Commercial Loading Zone on the west side of Lippincott Street, south of Bloor Street West, to accommodate the necessary loading/unloading requirements for local businesses.
