On the agenda
As the city filed it
In consultation with Transportation Services, I am requesting approval to amend the existing parking regulations on Ordnance Street, between Strachan Avenue and the south end of Ordnance Street. The proposed on-street parking regulations will help facilitate the implementation of future bike lanes, include a commercial loading zone that will provide for curb-side loading/unloading of merchandise, and help improve safe traffic operations on this street.

With the recent completion of three new developments along Ordnance Street, the existing roadway has been narrowed considerably, and cannot safely accommodate two traffic lanes, parking and bike lanes. For the most part, the proposed cross-section on Ordnance Street will comprise of two traffic lanes (one lane per direction) and bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. To provide area residents with curb-side loading/ unloading opportunity, a commercial loading zone will be designated on the east side of Ordnance Street (north/south leg) that will operate at all times. To fulfill the long term vision of the City Council approved Cycling Network Plan, every street through development applications, area studies and capital projects are considered for bikeways. Ordnance Street was evaluated in the Cycling Network Plan Long Term Cycling Network Vision analysis and ranked in the second highest suitability category. While in the moment Ordnance Street between Strachan Avenue and 100 m to the east is a dead end, in the future the street could connect to the Ordnance Triangle Park and the new Garrison Crossing bicycle/pedestrian bridge. Bikeways may also be extended west of Strachan Avenue along East Liberty Street. When those future connections are developed, Ordnance Street would become a vital active transportation corridor. Before the new developments open on Ordnance Street between Strachan Avenue and 100 m east, it is recommended to install the bike lanes to inform mobility choices of new residents and the new operations. A subsequent report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee will be submitted to seek authority and approval for the Chapter 886: Bicycle Lanes by-laws.
