On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Principal of Lord Lansdowne Public School and the TDSB School Trustee have informed me that student safety on Robert Street is severely compromised by an existing, confusing overlap between permit parking hours, bus loading and the no-parking zone where students are dropped off. As a result of confusing signage, parking enforcement has been ineffective. Transportation Services has confirmed that the current signage is unnecessarily confusing and difficult to enforce, and have proposed how it should be corrected.
