Summary
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services has received complaints about illegal parking in Farquhars Lane, which impedes orderly movement of pedestrians and motor vehicles in the laneway. In consultation with the Old Town Business Improvement Association, Transportation Services is recommending installation of a Commercial Loading Zone in Farquhars Lane and that "No Stopping" prohibitions be added on both sides elsewhere in the laneway, between The Esplanade and Front Street.
