Donlands Avenue parking: change corner prohibition to standing ban near Aldwych
City Council is being asked to approve a parking amendment on Donlands Avenue west of Aldwych, shifting from corner parking prohibition to a standing prohibition. The change aims to improve sightlines for traffic turning from Aldwych and maintain curb space for student pick-up and drop-off at a nearby school. The TTC operates transit on the street, which triggers council approval.
