On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Esplanade and Mill Street Connection Project aims to make travel on the street safer and more inviting for people walking, cycling and taking transit, while maintaining access to local and citywide destinations. As part of this work, staff have been working with stakeholders to seek safety improvements. The Novotel at 45 The Esplanade has requested that a "Bus Loading Zone" on the north side of The Esplanade be placed closer to their front door to support their business.

Transportation Services have advised that through the revised design to The Esplanade, this is now possible. Staff are also recommending that an additional "No Standing" zone be placed just east of the "Bus Loading Zone" to support passenger pick-up and drop-off. As the Toronto Transit Commission operates a transit service on The Esplanade, City Council approval of this motion is required. This motion is urgent because the project is currently under construction and bylaw amendments need to be implemented to complete the work in October.
