The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the
following report (January 4, 2000) from the Director, Transportation
Services, District 3, Works and Emergency Services:
Purpose:
To install a School Bus Loading Zone on Englemount Avenue, in the
vicinity of the Glen Park Public School.
Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
All costs associated with the installation of the school bus loading zone
are included within the Division's operating budget.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that By-law No. 32759, of the former City of North York, be
amended to install a School Bus Loading Zone on the east side of Englemount
Avenue, from a point 20 metres north of Glengrove Avenue to a point 50 metres
northerly thereof.
Background:
Mr. Bill Zumpano, Manager Transportation, Business Services, Toronto
District School Board, requested the Transportation Services Division,
consider the installation of a School Bus Loading Zone on Englemount
Avenue. Mr. Zumpano has indicated that with numerous school buses
currently servicing the school, a loading zone is necessary.
Comments:
Currently, north of Glengrove Avenue, parking is prohibited on the west
side of Englemount Avenue and stopping is prohibited between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side.
Conclusions:
The installation of a School Bus Loading Zone on the east side of
Englemount Avenue will provide an appropriate area for children, who
are currently being bussed to the Glen Park Public School, to board and
alight the school bus.
