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 the removal of an on-street accessible loading zone located on the east side of Somerset Avenue, north of Geary Avenue.  The removal of the accessible loading zone will create one additional on-street parking space. 

During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered discrepancies between the by-lawed parking regulations and the posted signage on Somerset Avenue.  Recommendations 2 to 11 will rectify these inconsistencies.
