The Toronto Community Council recommends that, based on requests from the Toronto Downtown Community Development Association and Dragon City Developments Inc., three parking meters be removed from the south side of Dundas Street West, west of Spadina Avenue, to provide for a bus parking space, such removal to be subject to the approval of the Manager of Central Region, Traffic Operations.

The Toronto Community Council submits the following communication (May 26, 1999) from Councillor Chow:

Recommendation:

Based on the requests from the Toronto Chinatown Community Development Association and the Dragon City Developments Inc., subject to the approval of Jacqueline White, Manager of Central Region, Traffic Operations, that the City remove three parking meters to provide for a bus parking space on the south side of Dundas Street, west of Spadina Avenue.

Background:

Dragon City Developments Inc. applied for bus parking on this site last summer. City staff has indicated that there are no technical difficulties that would prevent this request from being accommodated. The Toronto Chinatown Community Development Association agreed to this proposal. In addition, I have no objection to this request. This matter has been outstanding since last summer therefore, I request it be approved before the approaching summer tourist season.
