    (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.
  • Guildwood GO Station Construction Update

    Guildwood GO Station Construction Update

    Lakeshore East Corridor Guildwood GO Station Construction JUNE 2016 Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is working to transform the way the region moves by building a seamless, convenient and integrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Over the next ten years, Metrolinx is transforming the existing GO rail system to deliver a whole new rapid transit experience to your community. With more frequent train service you’ll have more options to get you where you need to go. THE LOCAL PROJECT – PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL SLIDE Metrolinx is working to make major upgrades to Guildwood GO Station to make it easier and more convenient to access the station. This work supports future 15 minute, two-way all-day electrified service that is fast, frequent, and reliable for residents of the Guildwood community. Thank you for your patience during the overnight drilling work. The next major step in construction is sliding the new pedestrian tunnels under the rail corridor. This work will occur over two weekends in July: Friday, July 8 at 8:00 p.m. to Monday, July 11 at 5:00 a.m. and Friday July 22 at 8:00 p.m. to Monday, July 25 at 5:00 p.m. The new pedestrian tunnels will be wider, longer, have improved lighting, and elevators which will enhance access and safety. We encourage you to sign up to our email distribution list to receive updates by contacting us at [email protected] or 416-581-1300 or follow us on Twitter @metrolinx or visit us at metrolinx.com.

The overall guiding policy of this plan is: the "Get Toronto Moving' Transportation Plan oversees policies and projects with the goal of improving the efficiency of all modes of transportation which are the choices of the people of Toronto, including automobiles, public transit, cycling and walking within available corridors. The City has no place to ‘encourage’ or entice people to switch to different forms of transportation from what they regularly use. That is the free choice of the people. The City and the Province are only responsible for providing the facilities for the transportation choices of the people. Neighbourhoods and residential and commercial communities must be left intact to flourish.

    Underground Power Line Crossings at Guildwood Station Summer 2020

    Lakeshore East GO Expansion Construction Notice Underground Power Line Crossings at Guildwood Station Summer 2020 Information as of: August 4, 2020 Today, if you live in Oshawa, Toronto, or anywhere in between, you enjoy two-way, all-day service seven days a week. We’re going to take it up a notch. With GO expansion on the Lakeshore East line, we’re bringing 15-minute two-way service between Union Station and Oshawa. Faster, more frequent travel is coming your way. Forget the car – welcome to your future. What Work is Taking Place? At various locations along the Lakeshore East Corridor, we are starting to remove overhead power lines and move them underground. As part of this project, there will be power line work underway at Guildwood GO Station starting Friday, June 26 for approximately 8 weeks. Work hours will be during the daytime 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. What to Expect The work will be on the far west side of the GO Station on both sides of the rail corridor (see orange sections in diagram above showing approximate location). Work will involve underground drilling and excavation to construct a conduit for the power line underneath the corridor. Customer parking on the south-west lot will be impacted while this project is underway. Residents will experience typical construction noise and vibration during the work hours. Questions If you have any questions or concerns or would like to be included on future email communications from us, please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected].

The study area abuts the west limit of the Stouffville GO rail corridor and includes the Milliken GO Station site. These lands were redesignated as Regeneration Areas through the adoption of Official Plan Amendment No. 231 (OPA 231) which is now in force and effect as it relates to this Regeneration Area. OPA 231 also established a Site and Area Specific Policy No. 395 (SASP 395) for the area that states that development will proceed in accordance with a framework to be established through a study of the area that addresses specific matters. SASP 395 is also in force and effect. The Steeles-Redlea Regeneration Area Study was initiated to establish the required development framework for the study area and to determine future land use designations. The study is now complete and this report includes a draft official plan amendment that Staff Report for Action – Final Report – Steeles-Redlea Regeneration Area Study 1 proposes to redesignate lands within the study area that front on the south side of Steeles Avenue East, and adjacent lands on the east side of Redlea Avenue, to Mixed Use Areas where development may occur generally in accordance with the Conceptual Masterplan contained within the Steeles-Redlea Urban Design Guidelines.

    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.
