On the agenda

As the city filed it

Due to the closure of the St. Clair Avenue West streetcar right of way, the Toronto Transit Commission is observing congestion along St. Clair Avenue West, slowing down the 512 St. Clair bus replacement service and general traffic. Toronto Transit Commission is recommending removing parking spaces and adding no stopping restrictions in strategic locations and times along St. Clair Avenue West between Bathurst Street and Vaughan Road, to alleviate these traffic concerns.

The proposed parking removal and no stopping, during peak periods, would take place effective immediately and last, until regular streetcar service is resumed. Transportation Services has consulted with Toronto Parking Authority, who assessed that the financial impact of lost revenue and operating expenses will be approximately $4,300.00 (pre-Harmonized Sales Tax). This Motion is urgent as the appropriate signage needs to be installed as soon as possible to facilitate the efficient operations of Toronto Transit Commission replacement bus service along St. Clair Avenue West.
