As Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Bay Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services is requesting the approval of an on-street accessible loading zone to operate at all times within the lay-by on the west side of Bay Street, south of Wellesley Street West, as it relates to the Macdonald Block Reconstruction Project at 900 Bay Street.  The proposed accessible loading zone will address requirements of the proposed streetscape plan submission on Bay Street.

A companion report, "Parking Amendments - 900 Bay Street (Macdonald Block Reconstruction Project) - (Delegated)", dated October 3, 2025, outlines the required delegated parking amendments for the location on Grosvenor Street, which does not have TTC service.
