This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services is recommending the removal of the existing school bus loading zone designated for Humberside Montessori School. The school, located on the east side of Kennedy Avenue, south of Bloor Street West (west intersection), reports it is no longer required. In place of the school bus loading zone, a maximum ten-minute parking limit area is recommended during the weekday morning and afternoon periods to support parents and guardians pick-up and drop-off activities. During the remainder of the weekday daytime periods, this area will operate with a maximum one-hour parking limit. As a result of this change, three additional on-street parking spaces will be gained.

During the course of the investigation, Transportation Services discovered discrepancies between the by-lawed parking regulations and posted signage on the east side of Kennedy Avenue, between Morningside Avenue and Bloor Street West. Recommendations 8 to 9 will rectify these inconsistencies.
