The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Director, Transportation Services for Toronto and East York to review the traffic volumes and patterns on Carlaw Avenue between Lake Shore Boulevard and Eastern Avenue and to report to the Toronto and East York Community Council on the feasibility of removing the rush hour parking prohibition either southbound or northbound to optimize parking for residents.
Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Carlaw Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is responding to a request from Councillor Paula Fletcher to remove the 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, parking prohibition on the east side of Carlaw Avenue, between Lake Shore Boulevard East and Queen Street East.
The removal of the parking prohibition will allow parking in the curb lane, however, it will force traffic into one northbound travel lane, increasing delay and potentially impacting traffic operations at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard East and Carlaw Avenue.
