On the agenda

As the city filed it

There is a narrow, crooked lane west of Palmerston Avenue, between Barton Avenue and Palmerston Square, which is not suitable for wide vehicles. Wayfinding apps have been directing an increasing number of large vehicles to attempt to traverse this lane. These attempts have a significant risk of scraping the vehicle against the concrete side walls, causing public and private damage. To reduce such damage, vehicles greater than two metres in width should be prohibited from travelling on this lane.

Staff recommended

It is recommended that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit vehicles over two metres in width from travelling on the first lane west of Palmerston Avenue, between Barton Avenue and Palmerston Square.
