Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on King Street East, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is recommending that the existing taxicab stand on the south side of King Street East, east of Ontario Street, be changed to a passenger loading zone. The proposed amendment will better suit the current needs of the street, accommodating shuttle bus pick-up/drop-off for the Globe and Mail located at 351 King Street East. This change will have minimal impacts on local traffic and parking operations.
