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

Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of a designated on-street accessible loading zone on the west side of Nairn Avenue, between Morrison Avenue and Rogers Road.  The accessible loading zone will operate from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.  The establishment of this accessible loading zone (ALZ) will provide unimpeded curbside access for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Wheel-Trans users and accessible permit holders visiting The Planting Community Church at 236 Nairn Avenue.

During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered a discrepancy in wording in the by-lawed parking regulations.  Recommendations 2 and 3 will rectify this inconsistency.
