  • Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update
    For Action Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update Date: July 10, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Customer Officer Summary The TTC bus network is very mature. In order to ensure that the network continues to reflect the way our customers travel across the city, staff has developed a program to review different segments of the city over time. This report provides an update on the status of the Junction Area Study. The objective of the study is to improve transit travel for customers by restructuring the bus route network in the Junction Area. In spring 2017, the TTC began the study with a customer survey to better understand customer travel patterns in the Junction Area. Feedback was also collected on existing services to identify key concerns for customers. Three key issues were identified: • No continuous transit service along Dundas Street West between Dundas West Station and Kipling Station; • No continuous transit service along St Clair Avenue West between Gunn's Loop (Weston Road) and Scarlett Road; and, • Need to extend the 80 Queensway from its current eastern terminus at Humber Loop to Keele Station via Parkside Drive in the late evening and on Sundays and holidays. Based on this feedback, staff prepared and proposed a preliminary transit network to reflect the data collected and address concerns raised by customers. The new transit network includes a number of service proposals that include restructuring and rationalizing existing services and improving periods of service on routes. In May 2018, the TTC held public information sessions at Runnymede, High Park, and Dundas West stations, and Gunn’s Loop to share the proposed transit network with customers and to collect feedback on the proposals.

  • STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Lake Shore Boulevard West
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Lake Shore Boulevard West - Speed Limit Reduction Date: March 29, 2007 To: Etobicoke York Community Council From: Director, Transportation Services - Etobicoke York District Wards: Ward 6 – Etobicoke-Lakeshore Reference eycc070058-to - 4757 Number: SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to reduce the speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West, between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court, from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. Given the existence of Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) streetcar tracks on the majority of this section of Lake Shore Boulevard West and the curved road alignment east of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway on-ramp/Brookers Lane, a lower (50 km/h) speed limit is justified and recommended. In addition, the proposed 50 km/h speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court will provide for a consistent speed limit on this road in the Etobicoke York Community. RECOMMENDATIONS Transportation Services recommends that: 1. City Council approve the reduction of the speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. Financial Impact Type of Funding Source of Funds Amount Available within current budget Transportation Services Operating Budget $700.00 ISSUE BACKGROUND Transportation Services, in meetings with Councillor Mark Grimes and residents of the Humber Bay Shores community, have received requests to determine the appropriateness of the 60 km/h speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court. A map of the area is Attachment No.

  • Dedicated Streetcar Lanes on the 504 King Route
    MEETING DATE: April 11, 2001 SUBJECT: Dedicated Streetcar Lanes On The 504 King Route RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Commission: 1. Receive this report for information, noting that: • TTC staff are working with Toronto Transportation Services and City Planning to identify the best way of creating effective, dedicated streetcar lanes on King Street, while fully respecting the needs of the adjacent businesses; • two of the options under consideration at this time are: i) banning all traffic, except streetcars, taxis, and commercial vehicles, from King Street during the busiest traffic hours; and ii) a full-time, permanent solution, with physical modifications to the street, whereby through traffic would be banned at all times, but vehicles would still be able to access each block; and 1. Forward this report to Toronto Transportation Services and City Planning. FUNDING This report has no impact on the Commission’s operating or capital budgets. BACKGROUND At its meeting on February 16, 2001, the Commission considered the TTC's 2001 Operating Budget and approved Commissioner Miller's motion which included, …that staff be requested to report to the Commission regarding… significant transit priority measures for the surface system, in particular streetcars. This report provides a preliminary and partial response only, to that request, and summarizes the status of staff's efforts to provide greater priority for streetcars on King Street. The results of this work are expected to be generally applicable to other streetcar routes. DISCUSSION TTC staff are developing a comprehensive plan to improve transit operations throughout Toronto, identifying ways to make transit faster, more reliable and, ultimately, more competitive with the private automobile.

  • Exhibition Place Master Plan – Phase 1 Proposals Report
    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

  • Improving Transit Service Options to Major Music Festivals
    Attachment 1 For Action Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Date: May 8, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Operating Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to respond to the Board’s request to report on how the TTC plans and co-ordinates service to special events, including major music festivals. Recommendations It is recommended that the Board: 1. Receive the report for information; and 2. Direct staff to forward this report to Councillor Mike Layton, City of Toronto Transportation Services, Toronto Music Advisory Council, Exhibition Place, Ontario Place and Metrolinx for information. Financial Summary This report has no financial impact. The Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information. Equity/Accessibility Matters The TTC has made significant progress in providing barrier-free, accessible transit services for all customers. Presently, all TTC bus services are operated using accessible, low-floor buses. New low-floor streetcars are currently being deployed and all routes will have accessible streetcars by 2019. All subway stations will be accessible by 2025. By providing public transit services to special events the TTC encourages and supports more spontaneous trip-making, which is an important part of making the conventional system attractive to potential new customers, such as Wheel-Trans registrants who are taking advantage of the TTC’s Family of Services, and to all travellers in Toronto. This Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Page 1 of 5 supports the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) objectives of more- spontaneous travel options for customers with disabilities, and the City’s Poverty Reduction Strategy of making transit more accessible and attractive to everyone.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Mobility Hubs December 2008
    Mobility Hubs December 2008 1. Introduction This is one in a series of backgrounders that have been produced by Metrolinx to provide further explanation and clarification on the policies and directions of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP is available for downloading at www.metrolinx.com. This backgrounder should be read as an accompaniment to Strategy 7 of the RTP. It is intended to provide additional detail on the mobility hub policies of the RTP and clarification of the terms and definitions used in the RTP with respect to mobility hubs. Metrolinx wishes to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of Urban Strategies Inc. and IBI Group to the preparation of this backgrounder. 2. What is a Mobility Hub? The mobility hub policies of the RTP build on the overall policy framework established in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, particularly those related to major transit station areas. The Growth Plan defines major transit station areas as the area within a 500m radius (10 minute walk) of any existing or planned higher order transit station within a settlement area or around a major bus depot in an urban core. Major transit station areas that are particularly significant for the regional rapid transit system are recognized as mobility hubs in the RTP. Mobility hubs are major transit station areas with significant levels of transit service planned for them in the RTP, high development potential, and a critical function in the regional transportation system as major trip generators. They are places of connectivity where different modes of transportation — from walking to high- speed rail — come together seamlessly and where there is an intensive concentration of employment, living, shopping and/or recreation.
