Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to request Community Council approval of amendments to on-street parking and passenger loading regulations along the south side of Mercer Street between Blue Jays Way and John Street, to facilitate proposed streetscape improvements.
This section of Mercer Street is scheduled for road reconstruction and streetscape improvements in 2026. The project includes curb extensions, on-street parking laybys and passenger loading zones. The proposed streetscape improvements will provide an enhanced pedestrian environment and a safer roadway for all users.
The proposed amendments would reduce the existing 13 on-street paid parking spaces in this section of Mercer Street to nine (9) spaces. The existing passenger loading zones in front of Nobu Hotel and Residence, and Le Germain Hotel will remain.
