STAFF REPORT

November 16, 1999

To: Toronto Community Council

From: Andrew Koropeski, Director, Transportation Services District 1

Subject: Installation/removal of on-street disabled persons parking spaces. (Davenport, High Park, Midtown, North Toronto and Trinity-Niagara).

Purpose:

To report on requests for the installation/removal of a number of disabled on-street parking spaces.

Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Funds to undertake the necessary signage adjustments in the estimated amount of $3,200.00 are contained in the Transportation Services Division 1999 Current Budget request.

Recommendations:

(1) That the installation/removal of disabled on-street parking spaces as noted in Table "A" of this report be approved; 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 may be required.

Comments:

Works and Emergency Services' staff have investigated the feasibility of installing/removing a number of on-street disabled persons parking spaces at various locations as outlined on the attached Table "A" of this report.

For locations where on-street disabled persons' parking spaces are being established, all applicants are holders of valid disabled persons' parking permits issued by the Ministry of Transportation and the designated space will not result in the deprivation of more than one on-street parking space. Locations where on-street disabled persons' parking spaces are to be removed resulting from applicants moving, holding expired permits or no longer requiring these on-street parking privileges.
