Installation of Three Disabled Persons Parking Spaces
in Front of 140 Merton Street (North Toronto)
The Toronto Community Council recommends that:
(1) two parking meter spaces be removed on the north side of Merton Street from a point 361 metres east of Yonge Street (parking meter numbers 28025 and 28026) to a point 13.8 metres further east;
(2) three on-street disabled persons parking spaces be installed on the north side of Merton Street, commencing at a point 361 metres east of Yonge Street and extending to a point 16 metres further east; and
(3) 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.
The Toronto Community Council submits the following report (February 2, 1998) from the Commissioner, City Works Services:
Purpose:
To remove two on-street metered parking spaces in order to provide three on-street disabled parking spaces for members of SPRINT (Senior Persons Resources in North Toronto) on the north side of Merton Street in front of Premises No. 140.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
(1) That two parking meter spaces be removed on the north side of Merton Street from a point 361 metres east of Yonge Street (parking meter numbers 28025 and 28026) to a point 13.8 metres further east;
(2) That three on-street disabled persons parking spaces be installed on the north side of Merton Street, commencing at a point 361 metres east of Yonge Street and extending to a point 16 metres further east; and
(3) 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:
City Works Services has investigated the feasibility of installing a number of on-street disabled persons parking spaces on the north side of Merton Street, in front of Premises No. 140, to enhance accessibility for members of SPRINT (Senior Persons Resources in North Toronto).
In order to provide a parking area for any associate of SPRINT in possession of a valid disabled persons parking permit, a disabled persons' parking area (sufficient for three vehicles) should be established on the north side of Merton Street, from a point 361 metres east of Yonge Street to a point 16 metres further east. I note that Wheel Trans vehicles and any vehicle bearing a valid disabled persons parking permit issued by the Ministry of Transportation would be entitled to use these parking spaces.
The establishment of these on-street disabled parking spaces would result in the removal of two parking meter spaces (parking meter nos. 28025 and 28026) and the relocation of two other parking meters.
