  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

Intensification is unlikely to occur without intentional policy and partnerships to encourage development. Mid-rise buildings, the typical residential form needed to meet the intensification target, are often challenging to develop in suburban areas. Similarly, employment intensification can be challenging to achieve without incentives for office location. Policy, politics and market viability all impact intensification. Changes are needed at the provincial, regional and local level to encourage development.

MTSA Best Practices Appendix C. Public Engagement Workshop Summaries Appendix D. TAC Meeting #1 Summary Appendix A: Community Services and Facilities Inventory Summary of Community Services and Facilities Inventory Bronte Major Transit Station Area (MTSA) Study April 24, 2019 This document provides a summary of the inventory of existing community services and facilities (CS&F) within 1.6 kilometres of the Bronte GO Station, prepared as part of the Bronte Major Transit Station Area (MTSA) Study. The facilities, shown in Figure 1 and described in Table 1 below, include publicly-funded schools, cultural facilities, libraries, child care centres, parks, community and recreation centres, and human/social and emergency services. Although the MTSA Study Area focuses on lands within 800 metres of the Bronte GO Station, a wider 1.6 kilometre service Catchment Area is considered to capture facilities in the “first mile” and “last mile” of transit trips that would serve existing and new residents in the Study Area. The 1.6 kilometre radius that delineates the service Catchment Area is shown in Figure 1. FIGURE 1: Location of Community Services and Facilities Within the 1.6 kilometre CS&F Catchment Area Community services and facilities that are currently available within the 1.6 kilometre CS&F Catchment Area are described below. Page 1 of 6 Schools There are two public schools within the CS&F Catchment Area. Gladys Speers Public School and Brookdale Public School are located near the periphery of the 1.6 kilometre CS&F Catchment Area.

Introduction Introduction Transit projects rank among the largest public sector infrastructure projects. And yet in our modelling and planning of our transportation network, we too frequently tend to look at public transit in isolation, set against other modes of travel. Experience and research tells us that transit operates most effectively when planned and built in close connection to walking and cycling facilities. A well-planned, well-designed, and well-funded active transportation network around transit stations and transit stops will maximize the value of the enormous capital investments governments make in transit. Cities are laboratories. They offer an endless variety of contexts for finding out what works and what doesn’t. When looking at how best to integrate active transportation and transit, we have so many places to look for inspiration. It can be hard to know where to start at times.

    Understanding Factors Associated With Commuter Rail Ridership A Demand Elasticity Study of the GO Transit Rail Network by Aaron Shantz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Aaron Shantz 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Mode share in major North American cities is currently dominated by private automobile use. Planners have theorized that transitioning commuter rail systems to regional rail networks is a viable method to increase ridership and stabilize mode share. This process is currently underway in Ontario, Canada, as the amount and frequency of service is being increased throughout the GO Transit rail network via the GO Expansion Program. However, previous studies have shown that transit demand does not solely respond to service quantity expansions. Variables related to the built environment, regional economy, network characteristics, and socioeconomic status of the customer base can influence transit demand to varying degrees. Further, the literature states that the travel behavior of commuter rail users is unique, as access mode, distance, socioeconomic status, and the utility derived from varying trip types can differ compared to local transit users. These findings suggest that supplementary policies might be needed to reduce automobile reliance and stimulate demand for regional transit. Many transit researchers have conducted demand elasticity studies to identify what factors are significantly associated with transit ridership.
