Summary
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
To address safety concerns and congestion in the area of Second Street Junior Middle School (71 Second Street), it is recommended a change from the current "No Parking Anytime" regulation to a "No Stopping, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., Monday to Friday" regulation on the west side of Second Street, between Birmingham Street and Maple Boulevard. The extension of the current school bus loading zone is also required in order to accommodate increased enrollment at the school. In addition, northbound and southbound U-turns should be prohibited on Second Street in this area.
These amendments will improve traffic operations and will address concerns regarding traffic congestion and safety in the area for school children and residents. This recommendation is the result of consultations with school officials and the area Councillor.
