Curbside Loading/Pickup Zones

As a way to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, the City created temporary signage for combined curbside loading and pick-up/drop-off zones. Given the temporary program's success, several locations became permanent throughout the City. These zones can be used by freight delivery trucks, valet, food and merchandise pick-up and drop-off, as well as taxis and TNCs.

What's New

Like most temporary or altered programs created to adjust for COVID-19 conditions, this temporary program ended on June 30, 2022. All the temporary signage associated with this program was removed on that date.

The permanent program began on July 1, 2022, at which time City staff installed permanent signage in locations desired by businesses and approved by the Traffic & Parking Board. The current list of proposed locations for these zones can be found in the Permanent Program section of this webpage.
