In April 2022, Council approved bylaw 294-2023: Item - 2022.IE28.7 to adjust traffic and parking regulations to accommodate the Douro Street and Wellington Street Road Safety and Bikeway Improvements project as part of the Council approved Cycling Network Plan.

The loading zone in question was adjusted as part of a Cycling Network Plan project on Wellington Street which required the relocation of the loading zone used predominantly by 1Hotel, previously located on Wellington Street West just East of Bathurst Street, to Bathurst Street between Wellington Street West and Stewart Street.

This relocation had become problematic with challenges with snow clearing, peak hour traffic and also with the forthcoming Bathurst RapidTO project. As such Transportation Services has worked with 1Hotel to design and reconstruct the sidewalk on Wellington Street to safely accommodate a loading bay at the original location on Wellington Street at the hotel’s expense. As such, this motion is to revert the by-laws to reflect the original loading zone condition.
