7 | Spadina Subway Transit Strategy 2015 Annual Service Plan 2015 Annual Service Plan 7 | Spadina Subway Transit Strategy 2015 Annual Service Plan 7 | Spadina Subway Transit Strategy Figure 9: Spadina Subway Extension Station Location 7.1 | Objective The length of the Spadina Subway extension from the TTC Downsview subway station to Highway 7 and Jane Street is 8.6 kilometres, of which 2.4 kilometres is in York Region. The extension will include three subway stations in York Region: Pioneer Village Station (formerly Steeles West Station), Highway 407 Station, and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) Station. Each of the stations in York Region will have a bus terminal. Commuter parking lots will be located at Pioneer Village Station with 1,850 spaces, and at Highway 407 Station with 600 spaces. The subway extension is scheduled to be complete by the fall of 2016 and the existing surface bus network will be restructured to connect with the subway stations where applicable. The alignment of the proposed subway is shown in Figure 9.

  • Postal Bulletin 22028 (7-13-00)
    PUBLISHED SINCE MARCH 4, 1880 PB 22028, July 13, 2000 Dear Fellow Postal Employee: I am pleased and proud to report the much-awaited launch of the new signature capture process and electronic record management system. The July 23 implementation of this program will allow the Postal Service to file delivery records electronically, much as other communication businesses do. This improvement in managing delivery records will provide opportunities to better meet customer needs for proof of delivery services, fraud reduction, and indemnity claim processing. With this new process, we can look up a delivery record from our intranet site in seconds rather than days. The process is simple — our existing handheld and POS ONE scanners will be used to link an article number from a mailpiece, such as Express Mail, certified mail, or insured mail, to a unique number on a delivery receipt signed by the recipient of the mailpiece. This information is stored in a national database, along with the signature information captured when the signed delivery receipt is optically scanned after delivery is complete. A simple, yet effective, way of managing over 400 million delivery records on a yearly basis. Inside this Postal Bulletin are three key articles concerning the new signature capture process. Additional information has been provided in previous Postal Bulletin articles, in communications from our area and district offices, and through other national communication media such as MARKETline and Postal Link. More information will follow. Each and every delivery employee must be provided the proper training and tools to make this program a success. Doing it right the first time, and every time, needs to remain a top priority.

  • Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report 2016
    Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge the efforts of former Metrolinx Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) members Mr. Sean Henry and Mr. Brian Moore, both of whom stepped down from the AAC in 2016. They provided valuable input into our accessibility planning efforts. We would like to welcome Mr. Gordon Ryall and Ms. Heather Willis, who both joined the Metrolinx AAC in 2015. Lastly, we would like to thank all of the Metrolinx AAC members for the important work they do as volunteers to improve the accessibility of our services. Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report: 2016 1. Introduction The 2016 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report provides an annual update of the Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan published in December 2012, as well as the 2015 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report. Metrolinx, a Crown agency of the Province of Ontario under the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation, has three operating divisions: GO Transit, PRESTO and Union Pearson Express. This Status Report, in conjunction with the December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, fulfills Metrolinx’s legal obligations for 2016 under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA), to publish an annual accessibility plan; and also under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), to publish an annual status report on its multi-year plan. The December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and other accessibility planning documents can be referenced on the Metrolinx website at the following link: www.metrolinx.com/en/aboutus/accessibility/default.aspx. In accordance with the AODA, it must be updated every five years. Metrolinx, including its operating divisions, remains committed to proceeding with plans to ensure AODA compliance.

  • Pioneer Village Station Art Installation
    Report for Action with Confidential Attachment Pioneer Village Station Art Installation Date: January 18, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Head of Legal & General Counsel Reason for Confidential Information This report contains advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege, including communications necessary for that purpose. Summary Prior to the public opening of Pioneer Village Station, staff elected not to activate the art installation as previous concerns with respect to the possible misuse of the messaging feature had not been addressed. The artwork included as part of Pioneer Village Station is entitled “LightSpell” and is an interactive installation consisting of a suspended array of 40 light elements. Each element is made of 16 individually controllable luminaries and can produce all letters of the alphabet, as well as special characters and numerals from 0 to 9. Touch-screen keyboards are located on the platform level and allow customers to type messages of up to eight characters in length using the letters of the alphabet, special characters or numerals, which messages become visible through the light display. The current installation allows customers on the subway platform to type in any eight- character message which message will then be broadly displayed for view to all other customers and employees on the platform level. There is a significant risk that the system could be misused to include hate messages or messages that target and/or discriminate against a specific individual or group of people. Such misuse will undermine the objective of creating a safe and welcoming environment, which environment is free from any form of discrimination or harassment.
