currently in effect on this section of Leader Lane: West side - A Commercial Loading Zone that operates at all times - The corner parking prohibitions at King Street East and at Colborne Street are signed with a standing prohibition at all times East Side - Stopping is prohibited at all times The Omni King Edward Hotel and King Edward Residences expressed concerns regarding parking on this section of Leader Lane and the lack of short-term delivery opportunities next to the property and in this area. I requested that the existing parking regulations on this section of Leader Lane be changed to facilitate a 20-minute Delivery Zone that will operate at all times. This Delivery Zone can be used by any motor vehicle undertaking delivery activities. The existing Commercial Loading Zone that generally occupies the entire block length will be shortened to 15 metres in order to accommodate the Delivery Zone. Staff conducted a site visit in June 2026 and confirmed the changes are feasible. Transportation Services also detected an inconsistency in the traffic by-law related to the current traffic regulations in the subject section of Leader Lane. This inconsistency will be resolved with the approval of Recommendations 5.

Staff recommended

Councillor Chris Moise recommends that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council amend the existing standing prohibition in effect at all times on the west side of Leader Lane, between King Street East and a point 30.5 metres south, to be in effect between King Street East and a point 15 metres south. 2.
