On the agenda

As the city filed it

Local businesses and condo boards near Abell Street have contacted my office to raise concerns over challenges with the unloading of deliveries and access for garbage collection vehicles. On the north part of Abell, vehicles often park despite an existing no-parking prohibition on the west side and a no-stopping prohibition on the east side. Further south on Abell, there is signage for an unofficial loading zone in a no-parking zone under the bylaws.

This existing parking prohibition results in confusion for those actively engaged in loading and unloading at the nearby buildings. In addressing these issues, a no-stopping area is recommended on Abell closer to Queen St W to ensure garbage collection vehicles and emergency vehicles can maintain access. Additionally, the unofficial loading zone requires a commercial loading zone designation to prevent delivery vehicles from receiving tickets over confusion with the signs currently in place. I respectfully request your support on the following recommendations.
