On the agenda

As the city filed it

A business near Margueretta Street and Bloor Street West operates a commercial driveway on the west side of the property that provides access to a boulevard parking space and waste collection bins. The owner of this business has shared that there are significant issues with illegally parked vehicles impeding access to the front of their commercial driveway. Commercial collection bins located near this driveway must also be frequently collected by large private vehicles, but blocked vehicles have prevented this service.

The lack of waste collection is resulting in pest issues as bins overflow and has impacted the cleanliness of the area. Transportation Services recommends a no stopping prohition at all times on the east side of Margueretta Street directly adjacent to the commercial driveway used to access this business' parking space and waste collection bins. These proposed improvements will better prevent illegal parking, restore access to boulevard parking spaces, and return proper waste collection by maintaining curbside access.
