  • Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards)

    Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards)

    Trans Canada Trail Proposed in the City of Toronto (Various Wards) (City Council on February 29, March 1 and 2, 2000, adopted this Clause, without amendment.) The Economic Development and Parks Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (January 24, 2000) from the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism: Purpose: To report on the development of the Trans Canada Trail; identifying the City of Toronto’s potential participation through the identification of a trail route through the City and the siting of one or more Trans Canada Trail pavilions at appropriate locations along that route. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: Identifying existing trails and cycling routes within the City as part of the Trans Canada Trail can be accomplished at very minimal costs to the City (e.g., the installation of Trans Canada Trail signage). The development of new trails to fill in gaps in the City’s trail network will also provide linkages that may be suitable for the Trans Canada Trail, in either an interim or long-term framework. These sections of new trail will be planned and budgeted for as part of the City’s future Capital Works Programs. Since pavilions are an integral part of the Trans Canada Trail program, the Trans Canada Trail Foundation provides 100 percent of the funding for the construction of each pavilion. Funding assistance for trail development in each province/territory is potentially available from the Trans Canada Trail Foundation. Individual donations may only be identified by the donor to be used on a provincial/territorial basis and not at a more specific local level.

    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.

  • STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Cycling Network Plan Update

    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Cycling Network Plan Update

    IE6.11 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Cycling Network Plan Update Date: June 13, 2019 To: Infrastructure and Environment Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: All SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the implementation progress for the City's Cycling Network Plan, establish a priority framework for Major City-Wide Cycling Routes, and share next steps for effective implementation of proposed cycling infrastructure. The Cycling Network Plan, alongside the draft Official Plan cycling policies currently under review, present a strong vision for improving cycling across the city. More people are riding bicycles in Toronto than ever before, especially where new or improved cycling infrastructure has been provided. In some Toronto neighbourhoods, the cycling mode share is now over 20%. Demand for safe, connected cycling routes throughout the city is on the rise, and recent polls demonstrate the majority of residents support protected bike lanes. This report provides information requested by City Council as part of a two year review of the Ten Year Cycling Network Plan (2016), including status, changes to project timing, and recommendations for the initiation of major studies. This updated Cycling Network Plan also reflects enhanced analyses and lessons from implementation challenges to date. Moving forward, the Cycling Network Plan will consist of two components: a near-term capital implementation program for cycling infrastructure (currently 2019 to 2021), and an overall proposed network (currently 2022+). The Cycling Network Plan Update maintains the originally established goals of Connect, Grow, and Renew, with newly articulated objectives and measures that correspond to each of the three overarching goals, providing additional clarity and indicators for evaluating success.

    Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail, Ward 3 ______

    Mark Grimes Toronto City Hall Toronto City Councillor 100 Queen Street West Ward 3, Etobicoke-Lakeshore Suite C48 Toronto Ontario M5H 2N ______________________________________________________________________________ Date: March 2, 2021 To: Members of Etobicoke York Community Council From: Councillor Mark Grimes Subject: Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail, Ward 3 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The Mimico Waterfront Park, situated between Humber Bay Park West and Norris Crescent Parkette, is a 1.1km multi-use waterfront trail created by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) with funds provided by Waterfront Toronto. It was developed in two phases, the first completed in 2008 and the second in 2012. It provides safe access to the waterfront, improves the ecological functioning of this section of the Lake Ontario shoreline and offers environmental, economic and social benefits to the Mimico community and broader region. Currently the Waterfront Trail along Lake Ontario ends at Norris Crescent, travels north to Lake Shore Boulevard West, and then continues as a cycle track west along Lake Shore Boulevard West to First Street. There are several privately-owned parcels of land along Lake Ontario that preclude the trail from continuing westward. Many of these lands are vacant, for sale, or are being assembled for development. This presents an opportunity to acquire the lands abutting Lake Ontario for the purpose of connecting and continuing the Mimico Waterfront Park westward. This motion seeks a report from City staff, working jointly with the federal and provincial levels of government, TRCA, Waterfront Toronto and other waterfront organizations, with a plan to extend Mimico Waterfront Park between Royal York Rd and First Street, through the sale, acquisition, and development of privately owned lands, including identify potential sources of funding.
