Subject:Premises No. 285 Indian Road Crescent - Installation of a school bus loading zone in front of Indian Road
Crescent Public School (Ward 21 - Davenport)
Purpose:
To establish a loading zone fronting Indian Road Crescent Public School for school buses to pick-up and discharge
students.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
(1)That a school bus loading zone be established on the east side of Indian Road Crescent from a point 23.5 metres north
of Humberside Avenue to a point 20 metres further north; and
(2)That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing,
including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.
Comments:
At the request of Ms. Meg Young, Principal of Indian Road Crescent Public School, Works staff have investigated
establishing a school bus loading zone fronting Indian Road Crescent Public School.
Parking is prohibited at anytime on the east side of Indian Road Crescent from Humberside Avenue to Annette Street and
parking is allowed on the west side of this section of Indian Road Crescent to a maximum period of three hours, outside the
hours of permit parking operation between 12:01 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., daily.
To facilitate the safe movement of children and vehicular traffic in the vicinity of the school, a school bus loading zone
should be established on the east side of Indian Road Crescent from a point 23.5 metres north of Humberside Avenue to a
point 20 metres further north.
Given that parking is currently prohibited on the east side of the subject section of Indian Road Crescent, the
implementation of the school bus loading zone will not effect the supply of on-street parking.
