I have heard from business owners about the challenges they are experiencing with an existing commercial loading zone on the east side of St. Clarens Avenue just north of Bloor Street West. These business owners have shared that the loading zone is not sufficient in length to meet local demands and that parked vehicles on the west side of St. Clarens Avenue impede traffic when the loading zone is in use. A site visit in October confirmed problems with this commercial loading zone and potential solutions.

Transportation Services recommends extending the community loading zone by 5 metres south and implementing a no-standing regulation at all times on the east side of St. Clarens Avenue as solutions. These proposed amendments will provide additional space for commercial vehicles, deter curbside parking, and improve traffic flow on St. Clarens Avenue.
