Item - 2026.TE31.72

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council rescind the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Friday; 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Saturday; and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday, at a rate of $3.25 for 1 hour and for a maximum of three hours, on the north side of Queen Street East, between a point 36 metres east of Jones Avenue and a point 30.5 metres further east.

2. City Council designate a commercial loading zone to be in effect at all times, on the north side of Queen Street East, between a point 36 meters east of Jones Avenue and a point 30.5 meters further east.

3. City Council direct that Queen Street East be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking machine regulations (except with parking rates and hours of operation being consistent to the rates and hours of operation at the time of completion) when the project is complete.

Reconstruction of the laneway located on the east side of Jones Avenue, approximately 23 metres north of Queen Street East will commence in May. This laneway is the primary loading zone for many businesses on Queen Street East, east of Jones Avenue. The installation of a temporary loading zone on Queen Street East is important for businesses to continue their commercial activities during this construction period.
