He commented that he echoes the concerns of the previous speakers. He noted in addition to the other comments he would like a limit placed on the number of taxi companies permitted in the City of Barrie instead of restricting the number of licensed taxicabs. Mr. Woods stated that he believes the current taxi industry operating in the City of Barrie is fractured and he feels if there was a limit on the number of companies only a few companies would continue to exist. Mr. Woods stated that he believes additional enforcement of the Transportation By-law is necessary in order to have better control over the industry. He concluded by commenting that he is in agreement with the idea of creating a Taxi Commission or Advisory Committee to enhance communication between the taxi industry and the City. Members of City Council asked a number of questions of Mr. Woods and City staff concerning the information provided in the deputatiWed, 22 Feb 2023 19:37:51 GMT
