Summary

The current dedicated On-Street Logistic Mini-hub Parking zone on St. George Street, which was approved by City Council in June 2024 and currently operated by Purolator Incorporated, is experiencing frequent instances of vehicles parking illegally within this designated area. This mini-hub zone, located in a parking lay-by, provides room for the re-purposed shipping container and short-term truck parking to allow Purolator's loading and unloading activities.  The illegally parked or stopped vehicles are impacting Purolator’s daily operations.

 

Implementing a ‘No Standing’ zone in this location will clearly communicate that stopping or waiting in these areas is prohibited at all times, thereby discouraging illegal parking behavior and allow enforcement officers with a clear legal basis to issue tickets or remove vehicles.
