Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of a designated on-street accessible loading zone on the south side of Shirley Street, between St. Clarens Avenue and Brock Avenue.  The accessible loading zone will operate from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.  The establishment of this accessible loading zone (ALZ) will provide unimpeded curbside access for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Wheel-Trans users in the subject area.

During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered a discrepancy between the by-lawed parking regulations and the posted signage on the north side of Shirley Street, between St. Clarens Avenue and Norfolk Street.  Recommendation 2 will rectify this inconsistency.
