Implement Pick-up and Drop-off Zones
Description
- Designated pick-up and drop-off zones enable convenient locations for passenger loading and requires special consideration to manage potential conflicts between vehicle and pedestrian movements.
Guidance
- Provide on-site pick-up and drop-off zones that are fully accessible at-grade to facilitate short-term pick-up and drop-off activities.
- Provide adequate space so queueing will not spillback onto driveways or public roads or disrupt traffic flow on site.
- Use design interventions (e.g. curbs, islands), pavement markings and textures to delineate pedestrian facilities and pick-up and drop-off zones.
- Where possible, passenger pick-up and drop-off zones and loading zones should not conflict with pedestrian facilities by locating the zones at an alternate accessible building entrance.
Development Review
- The applicant shall submit a site plan, site plan drawing, concept plan, pavement marking & signage plan, or other applicable document that shows the location, design, pavement markings, and dimensions of pick-up and drop-off and loading zones.
- The applicant shall submit a swept path diagram to ensure that vehicle circulation is not interrupted.
- City of Vaughan staff shall review the memorandum and plans and provide a recommendation for either approval or modifications to meet City requirements.
Monitoring and Reporting
- Submit photo evidence of the pick-up and drop-off zones.
