This is a reply from the City about our taxi standsRoy Ambury,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the taxi stand zones on the block of Princess Street between Barrie and Division Streets.
The
reconstruction of the block of Princess Street between Barrie St. and
Division St. has resulted in some changes to the layout of the existing
on-street parking areas. These changes are necessary to accommodate
bulb-outs for transit stops, planters, benches, bicycle parking, and
patios. For example, the section of curb space on the south side of
Princess Street in front of Stages that was previously regulated as a no
parking zone, except for taxis between 10 pm and 3 am, has been
redesigned as a widened sidewalk/boulevard.
City staff are
assessing what options may exist to re-locate this displaced taxi stand
zone within the same block. We will be contacting the taxi industry
shortly to obtain feedback on any proposed changes.
Thank you.
