As the city filed it

These business owners have shared that the loading zone is not sufficient in length to meet local demands and that parked vehicles on the west side of St. Clarens Avenue impede traffic when the loading zone is in use.

Transportation Services recommends extending the community loading zone by 5 metres south and implementing a no-standing regulation at all times on the east side of St. Clarens Avenue as solutions.
