Designated On Street Loading Zones for the Disabled -

Robert Hicks Drive - North York Spadina

 The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (June 12, 1998) from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre:

 Purpose:

 To amend the existing traffic by-law to accommodate for the previous removal of the area designated as an On Street Loading Zone for the disabled.

 Source of funds:

 All funds associated with amendments to the traffic by-law are included within the 1998 operating budget.

 Recommendation:

 It is recommended that Schedule E of By-Law No. 31770, of the former City of North York, be amended to allow for the deletion of the by-law entry designating a portion of Robert Hicks Drive as a loading zone for the disabled.

 Council Reference/Background/History:

 During regular maintenance operations it was observed that the loading zone was no longer signed or required.

 Discussion:

 As the loading zone is no longer being used, and the appropriate signs have been removed, it is appropriate to amend the by-law to delete this entry.

 Conclusions:

 This department supports the amendments to the traffic by-law.

 Contact Name:

 Mr. Michael Frederick, Director of Operations, 395-7484.
