Item - 2026.TE32.41

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council designate an accessible loading zone to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., daily, on the east side of Oakwood Avenue, between a point 107 metres south of Glenhurst Avenue and a point 11 metres further south.

2. City Council amend the existing maximum 1 hour parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Oakwood Avenue, between a point 55.4 metres north of St. Clair Avenue West and Earlsdale Avenue, to be in effect between a point 55.4 metres north of St. Clair Avenue West and a point 118 metres south of Glenhurst Avenue and between a point 107 metres south of Glenhurst Avenue and Earlsdale Avenue.

A resident on Oakwood Avenue is requesting an accessible loading zone near their property to make it safer and easier to access TTC Wheel-Trans service. Transportation Services supports this request and seeks approval to install a designated on-street accessible loading zone on the east side of Oakwood Avenue, between Glenhurst Avenue and St. Clair Avenue West.

To accommodate the accessible loading zone, two on street parking spaces would be unavailable during weekday daytime periods. Transportation Services has determined that this change will have minimal impact on parking supply and local traffic operations. This installation will improve accessibility for this resident and neighbouring residents with mobility needs by providing a designated, reliable pick up and drop off location close to their homes.
