Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update
For Action Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update Date: July 10, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Customer Officer Summary The TTC bus network is very mature. In order to ensure that the network continues to reflect the way our customers travel across the city, staff has developed a program to review different segments of the city over time. This report provides an update on the status of the Junction Area Study. The objective of the study is to improve transit travel for customers by restructuring the bus route network in the Junction Area. In spring 2017, the TTC began the study with a customer survey to better understand customer travel patterns in the Junction Area. Feedback was also collected on existing services to identify key concerns for customers. Three key issues were identified: • No continuous transit service along Dundas Street West between Dundas West Station and Kipling Station; • No continuous transit service along St Clair Avenue West between Gunn's Loop (Weston Road) and Scarlett Road; and, • Need to extend the 80 Queensway from its current eastern terminus at Humber Loop to Keele Station via Parkside Drive in the late evening and on Sundays and holidays. Based on this feedback, staff prepared and proposed a preliminary transit network to reflect the data collected and address concerns raised by customers. The new transit network includes a number of service proposals that include restructuring and rationalizing existing services and improving periods of service on routes. In May 2018, the TTC held public information sessions at Runnymede, High Park, and Dundas West stations, and Gunn’s Loop to share the proposed transit network with customers and to collect feedback on the proposals. -

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.

Improving Transit Service Options to Major Music Festivals
Attachment 1 For Action Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Date: May 8, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Operating Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to respond to the Board’s request to report on how the TTC plans and co-ordinates service to special events, including major music festivals. Recommendations It is recommended that the Board: 1. Receive the report for information; and 2. Direct staff to forward this report to Councillor Mike Layton, City of Toronto Transportation Services, Toronto Music Advisory Council, Exhibition Place, Ontario Place and Metrolinx for information. Financial Summary This report has no financial impact. The Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information. Equity/Accessibility Matters The TTC has made significant progress in providing barrier-free, accessible transit services for all customers. Presently, all TTC bus services are operated using accessible, low-floor buses. New low-floor streetcars are currently being deployed and all routes will have accessible streetcars by 2019. All subway stations will be accessible by 2025. By providing public transit services to special events the TTC encourages and supports more spontaneous trip-making, which is an important part of making the conventional system attractive to potential new customers, such as Wheel-Trans registrants who are taking advantage of the TTC’s Family of Services, and to all travellers in Toronto. This Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Page 1 of 5 supports the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) objectives of more- spontaneous travel options for customers with disabilities, and the City’s Poverty Reduction Strategy of making transit more accessible and attractive to everyone. -

Thank you Place and the Ontario Science Centre. However, these plans don’t preclude future expansions that may be presented to improve access and meet demand. Thorncliffe Park Where is the station in relation to Overlea Blvd Teams are analyzing the 15 stations identified in the Initial Business Case to Station determine whether or not they should be built, looking at factors like the potential number of users, ease of construction, and cost, to name a few. Findings will be presented in the Preliminary Design Business Case, which we are aiming to complete by summer 2020.By using the GO corridor and building bridges across the Don River instead of tunneling underneath it, a route that is approximately twice the length of the Relief Line South can be built at a similar cost. Also, using the GO corridor will allow people to more easily connect between GO and TTC services that will both be accessible by street level, saving time compared to connections that would lead people into deep underground stations. -
Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

Scarborough Centre on the Move
PILLAR TWO SUPPORT TRANSIT & INNOVATIVE MOBILITY SOLUTIONS Scarborough Centre on the Move Transportation6 Master Plan 97 Pillar Two Support Transit & Innovative Mobility 6 Solutions The second study pillar is the promotion of transit and innovative mobility solutions to move more people through the transportation system efficiently. Transit-oriented development and support of transit investment in key areas is emphasized in planning and policy documents including provincial plans such as the Regional Transportation Plan (The Big Move) and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, municipal plans such as the City of Toronto Official Plan and City of Toronto Complete Streets Guidelines (CSG), and local policies such as the Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan and McCowan Precinct plan. The benefits of transit are described in this chapter, along with details on the existing and proposed transit network and supporting strategies. This chapter includes mobility options such as local buses, subways, rapid transit (RT), autonomous vehicles, and other “smart” technologies that improve network efficiency. 6.1 Benefits Social Equity The regional transportation plan, the Big Move, envisions that 80% of residents will live within two kilometres of rapid transit, citing that access to frequent, fast, and affordable transit is crucial for social equity and cohesion. Transit provides access to society and the economy, particularly for those with low incomes who cannot afford to own and maintain a personal vehicle, as well as individuals unable to operate a vehicle, including the youth or elderly. Transit service helps integrate individuals into communities and regions to allow overall participation in employment opportunities and other activities.
