To:Chairman and Members of the North York Community Council

From:Roberto Stopnicki, Director, Transportation Services - District 3

Subject:School Bus Loading Zone: Daystrom Drive

North York Humber

Purpose:To install a school bus loading zone on Daystrom Drive, adjacent to the Daystrom Public School.

Source of funds:

All costs associated with the installation of the loading zone are included within the 1998 operating budget.

Recommendations:

That By-law #32759, of the former City of North York, be amended to install a school bus loading zone on the west side of Daystrom Drive, from a point 42 metres south of Lindylou Road to a point 94 metres south of Lindylou Road.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Formerly, a school bus loading zone existed at this location, adjacent the Daystrom Public School. At the request of the principal, the loading zone was removed.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

The Toronto District School Board recently contacted staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department requesting that with the changes in transportation requirements and, as school buses now transport students to the school, the loading zone is required.

Conclusions:

This department would support the installation of the school bus loading zone on the west side of Daystrom Drive.
