Installation of a School Bus Loading Zone
in Front of Indian Road Crescent Public School
- 285 Indian Road Crescent (Davenport)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(September 1, 1998) from the Director, Infrastructure Planning and Transportation
Division, City Works Services:
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.
