125 Years of Toronto Streetcars
125 YEARS OF TORONTO STREETCARS UPPER CANADA RAILWAY SOCIETY BOX 122 STATION "A" TORONTO, ONTARIO One of the Belgian streetcars which recently began running on a new line at the Grand Cypress Resort near Orlando, Florida. See article 'The End of an Era' in this issue. , --John Fleck Gulf Pulp & Paper Co. 0-6-0 38, on display at Mount Forest, Ont., after being bought by Christian Bell Porcelain. Further details in Feb. 1986 NEWSLETTER. Photo taken April 26, 1986. McCarten lP NFTA LRV 125 has been turned into the world's newest and fanciest 'streetcar diner' outside Hoak's Armor Inn, Hamburg, N.Y. The car was dropped and damaged irreparably while being deliverd to the NFTA shops in Buffalo; a replacement 125 was subsequently built and delivered and the '1st 125', which never turned a wheel in revenue service, was sold to this restaurant, probably for use as a cocktail lounge. July 28, 1986. McCarten SEPTEMBER 1986 3 Years of Urban Rail Transit in Tnronto On Sept. 11, 1986 we think back to the equivalent date in 1861, when Canada's first urban rail passenger service commenced operation: a horsecar service provided by the Toronto Street Railway Company. Mr. Alexander Easton of Philadelphia, a public transit entrepreneur of the day, obtained a 30-year franchise to operate animal powered streetcar service from the City of Toronto on March 26, 1861. The TSR was organized in May of that year with A. Easton as President and Alexander Bleekly and Daniel Smith as Directors. The franchise provided for service on at least a 30-minute headway, with the daily operating period to be 16 hours a day in summer and 14 hours a day in winter (the spring and fall seasons do not appear to have been recognized). -

Modernizing the Ttc – a New Approach to Communications, Community Relations and Property Coordination for Construction Projects Action Item
Form Revised: February 2005 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. Resubmitted December 19,2012 MEETING DATE: November 21, 2012 SUBJECT: MODERNIZING THE TTC – A NEW APPROACH TO COMMUNICATIONS, COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND PROPERTY COORDINATION FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Commission: 1. Endorse the initiatives outlined in this report establishing the TTC’s new approach for public consultation, community relationships of property coordination for construction projects. 2. Note the actions that have already been implemented to address issues noted in the Ombudsman’s report to Council dated October 31, 2012. FUNDING The recommendations in this report do not have any financial implications. BACKGROUND In January 2012, the Engineering and Construction Branch and the former Transit Expansion Department (Transit City) were amalgamated and renamed the Engineering, Construction and Expansion Group (ECE). The new ECE Group includes the establishment of a separate dedicated department, Strategic Partnerships, responsible for managing communications, community relations and third party, including property requirements for TTC construction projects. This report provides an overview of the Strategic Partnerships activities. DISCUSSION The TTC Capital Program includes about 500 contracts over the next five years. Most of these projects involve maintenance and rehabilitation work related to the state of good repair within TTC facilities (carhouses and garages) that have little or no impact on the MODERNIZING THE TTC – A NEW APPROACH TO COMMUNICATIONS, COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND PROPERTY COORDINATION FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Page 2 public. Over the past several years there are an increasing number of construction projects that involve upgrades and enhancements to existing subway stations with more impact on adjacent communities and the 1.6 million people that use the TTC on a daily basis. -
