(Report June 12, 1998, addressed to North York Community Council, from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre.)

Subject:Designated On Street Loading Zones for the Disabled: Robert Hicks Drive, North York Spadina

Purpose:To amend the existing traffic by-law to accommodate for the previous removal of the area designated as an On Street Loading Zone for the disabled.

Source of funds:

All funds associated with amendments to the traffic by-law is included within the 1998 operating budget.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that Schedules E of By-Law #31770, of the former City of North York, be amended to allow for the deletion of the by-law entry designating a portion of Robert Hicks Drive as a loading zone for the disabled.

Council Reference/Background/History:

During regular maintenance operations it was observed that the loading zone was no longer signed or required.

Discussion:

As the loading zone is no longer being used, and the appropriate signs have been removed, it is appropriate to amend the by-law to delete this entry.

Conclusions:

This department supports the amendments to the traffic by-law.

Contact Name:

Mr. Michael Frederick, Director of Operations, 395-7484.
