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

At the request of the Ward Councillor, in consultation with St. Lawrence Market North staff, Transportation Services reviewed commercial loading opportunities on Front Street East.  These changes are intended to help facilitate this activity during events at the St. Lawrence Market North facility. In addition, staff reviewed enhancing the current parking regulations on the east side of Jarvis Street, between Front Street East and King Street East.  These changes are intended to help minimise congestion and delays on this section of roadway for motorists entering/exiting the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) underground parking facility, located on the west side of Jarvis Street.

Transportation Services supports the requested changes and is recommending:

- establishing a Commercial Loading Zone on the north side of Front Street East, west of Jarvis Street, that will operate at all times; and

- prohibiting stopping at all times on the east side of Jarvis Street, between Front Street East and King Street East. 

The proposed parking amendments will help facilitate loading and unloading operations for businesses at St. Lawrence Market North on Front Street East and will deter all curbside activity from taking place on Jarvis Street, minimizing congestion during parking operations to/from the TPA underground parking facility. There will be no loss of on-street parking.
