No further action was taken on the planned extension of the Spadina Subway from Downsview Station to The purpose of this section of this EA is to identify existing conditions within the Study Area, including the York University due to changing economic circumstances including the withdrawal of provincial funding for existing transportation planning context, transportation systems, natural environment, socio-economic transit capital programs and changing priorities. environment, existing and planned land use, and future transportation demands. This information served as a baseline for the generation of alternatives, the prediction of condition changes/environmental effects In the past twelve years, urban policy and growth patterns have supported a re-evaluation of the EA and the identification of environmental protection measures. Several separate technical reports were approved alignment. The subway is now being proposed to extend from Downsview Station to Steeles prepared which describe the existing conditions in greater detail. Copies of these reports are provided in Avenue. In the following section, the Planning Context describes the provincial, regional and city the Appendices of this EA. transportation and land use plans and policies that affect the Study Area. # Tq6 rh The Study Area, first proposed in the Terms of Reference then confirmed through existing conditions work, is bounded by Highway 7 and Steeles Avenue to the north, Keele Street, Dufferin Street and Wilmington Avenue to the east, Sheppard Avenue to the south, and Black Creek and Edgeley Boulevard to the west. The Study Area extends north of Steeles Avenue to include York Region’s proposed corridor for a rapid transit connection to its future Vaughan Corporate Centre. A key plan of the Study Area is presented in Figure 4-1. Although the Study Area extends north of Steeles and consideration is given to impacts and potential for extending the subway north of Steeles Avenue, the purpose of this EA is to examine alternative alignments and station locations extending from Downsview Station to Steeles Avenue only. #! 9hh8yyrpvhq6hyv Data were obtained from published data sources and unpublished information provided by relevant stakeholders. Data were reviewed to identify data gaps and deficiencies, and to scope the type, location and level of detail for field investigations. Field investigations included drive-by and walk-by surveys, the majority of which were carried out within the Study Area in October and November 2004. A natural sciences investigation was conducted earlier in Summer 2004 to account for seasonal conditions. Relevant results from this investigation are included in the Appendices. #" U h hvQyhvt8r The following describes the existing and future planning context for rapid transit in the Study Area, with particular reference to provincial, regional and municipal planning policy. The 1994 EA concluded that the most effective way to address the transportation needs in the Study Area would be to first extend the Spadina Subway to York University, then to extend the Yonge Subway Line to Steeles Avenue, and finally, to construct a subway line along Steeles Avenue to close the “Loop”. Further details of the 1994 EA are discussed in 5.2.1. In 1994, the Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MOEE) approved the EA to extend the Spadina Subway from Downsview Station to York University.

    THE HUMBER RIVER: THE 10-YEAR MONITORING REPORT FOR THE CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008 THE HUMBER CHALLENGE Our challenge is to protect and enhance the Humber River watershed as a vital and healthy ecosystem where we live, work and play in harmony with the natural environment. GUIDING PRINCIPLES To achieve a healthy watershed, we should: • Increase awareness of the watershed’s resources • Protect the Humber River as a continuing source of clean water • Celebrate, regenerate, and preserve our natural, historical and cultural heritage • Increase community stewardship and take individual responsibility for the health of the Humber River • Establish linkages and promote partnerships among communities • Build a strong watershed economy based on ecological health, and • Promote the watershed as a destination of choice for recreation and tourism The Humber River: The 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System i FRAGMENT: THE VALLEY Like a sweet wine flowing from the glass, the Humber of my boyhood years! First the stretch of the river valley as I knew it best, running south from Dundas Street to my beloved stone marvel of the Old Mill Bridge, a scant mile to the south, not forgetting to count a quarter-mile jog to the east halfway down to heighten the wonderment. What force of ten million years’ cunning erosion, the relentless path of an awkward giant carving out for himself great steps one by one as he strides on and on, thirsty now for a great cold draught of Lake Ontario water! What sheer-climbing cliffs with the history of planet Earth carved in each layer of shale reaching up a hundred feet from the shining valley floor, the littered rocks of the river ….
