Two questions were submitted to the Parcel Model Question Box earlier this week: 1. When parcels are sequenced on one-way streets, such as 654 and 1147 Logan Ave in M4K, one is south of Danforth Ave. and one is north of Danforth Ave. – but on the parcel rack, they are together. Why? I was routed East on Browning where I could only turn north. I think the MSC should have a printout of all the stops and parcel addresses – and an area on the printout to mention any discrepancies or suggestions. Parcels could go through Optical Scanners like the letters at South Central for coding. Thank you for your question. As part of the implementation process, the Mail Service Couriers (MSCs) will have an opportunity to make suggestions for the line of route for their delivery area. As well, they will be able to identify any discrepancies on their route. It is recognized that for the sampling activities, the routes were not fully developed. Sequence numbers are assigned by the number of stops and items to be delivered, typically with two to four stops per sequence number. This means that each LDU (local delivery unit) will not necessarily receive a particular sequence number. The MSC will determine the best line of travel within a sequence. At the start of the day, the MSC will be provided with a manifest specifying the parcels loaded for the day’s delivery, identifying each parcel type (such as C.O.D., Customs, signature required). The Parcels will go through the Parcel Delivery Sort and Load program. Each parcel will be keyed into this system. The program will determine which tour the parcel will be delivered by and the sequence it will be on the route. A label will be produced and placed on the end of the parcel. As the parcel travels down the conveyor belt, it will be read by the Cubic Scanner and then be diverted to the appropriate run-out for loading. 2. Are we going to be moving from the 1 Yonge St. location to the York Delivery Centre (YDC) or West Transportation location in the near future?" No, the 1 Yonge Transportation Unit is not scheduled to move in the near future.
