    SCARBOROUGH RAPID TRANSIT ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT REPORT CHAPTER 2 – PROJECT DESCRIPTION circuit panels to support the systems listed above. Substations are usually constructed at-grade and are located within stations or underneath the running structure (for elevated sections). Exhibit 2-53: Potential Substation Locations for SRT Extension TTC traction power requirements typically result in a distance between substations of about 1.5 km to 2 km. Due to the power requirements for lights and equipment at stations, these substations are usually located in the vicinity of stations. The existing traction power substations at Kennedy, Lawrence East, Ellesmere, Scarborough Centre and McCowan Stations will remain part of each station but will undergo changes to accommodate the new vehicle requirements. New substations are proposed along the extension with an average of 1.5 kilometre spacing. Exhibit 2-53 presents the proposed location of the traction power substations: • At the south end of Production Drive; • Centennial College; • Sheppard Avenue; • Bellamy Station; and • Malvern Town Centre. The typical substation structures (Exhibit 2-54) are approximately 11 metres by 4.6 metres and 4 metres high. Additional length and width may be required for providing access for maintenance and an attractive façade. These structures will be carefully sited so that they do not obstruct existing and future developments along the SRT corridor. The Sheppard East LRT will also require substation in this general vicinity according to the approved Sheppard East LRT Class EA. As such, the substation located on Sheppard Avenue will be co-ordinated between the SRT and the Sheppard East LRT during design. The final locations of the electrical substations will be further investigated in the detailed design stage.

  • Future of the Guildford Library
    Ordinary Meeting of Council 27 September 2017 2.1 FUTURE OF THE GUILDFORD LIBRARY Ward: (Midland/Guildford Ward) (Customer, Library and Visitor Services) Disclosure of Interest: Nil Authorised Officer: (Executive Manager Community Wellbeing) KEY ISSUES • Guildford Library has for some time been considered underutilised (representing 4% of the overall City of Swan Library usage); • The Guildford Public Library remains the only City of Swan library that has not grown since 2009 in membership and usage. This initiated a reduction in resources and opening hours over time in an effort to ensure equity of allocation of resources to areas of greater need; and • In 2015, a 12 month plan was delivered in an attempt to revitalise the library through the introduction of innovative programs and activities. At the end of this period usage had still decreased (representing 3% of overall City of Swan Library usage). This further demonstrated that the Guildford Public Library is not sustainable as a small stand-alone branch, replicating similar services and programs as other City of Swan Libraries. It is recommended that the Council resolve to accept that the Guildford Public Library is not sustainable to continue as a small stand-alone branch library in its current operating model and request a detailed report be provided to Council at a future Council meeting date providing a business plan to refocus the library, as discussed in option 3 of this report and aligned to recommendations in the Heritage Precinct Masterplan. BACKGROUND At the Ordinary Council Meeting dated the 2 August 2017, Council resolved to: 1) Request a report be provided to Council by the end of September 2017, detailing a plan to close the Guildford Public Library and propose potential alternative uses for the facility; 2) That the report include a discussion on the current and future vision for libraries at the City of Swan, as community hubs in supporting lifelong learning for members of the community, including virtual library services.

  • 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.

    Is Scarborough City Centre a Transit Vii ? Martin Barakengera Is Scarborough City Centre A Transit Village? Executive Summary The purpose of this Master's Report is to determine whether Scarborough City Centre is a Transit Village. A transit village is construed as a community where dense, fine-grained mix of complementary uses is anchored to a transit hub within a walking distance radius (400 to 800 metres). It is and designed with physical features that are conducive to walking, biking and transit riding as viable alternatives to the automobile. Scarborough City Centre (SCC) is located in the former City of Scarborough, on the eastern edge of the City of Toronto. The City Centre is approximately bounded by Highway 401 to the north, Mc Cowan Road to the east, Ellesmere Road to the south and Brimley Road to the west, north of Ellesmere Road, west of McCowan Road, east of Brimley Road, and south of Highway 401.

  • The Effect of Automated Renewal Services on Physical Use of Davis Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    Larry D. Farrell. The Affect of Automated Renewal Services on Physical Use of Davis Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A Master’s paper for the M.S. in I.S. degree. February, 2005. 42 pages. Advisor: Robert Losee The advent of remote, automated renewal services (phone based and web based) have had a significant impact on the way libraries and library materials are used. This paper studies these affects at one university library; Davis Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, asking the question, what affect has automated renewal services had on the physical use of Davis Library? Circulation and renewal statistics were looked at from 2000-2004, and exit count numbers were looked at from 2001-2004 in an attempt to answer this question. The statistics show that circulation of library materials has remained relatively stable during the period studied, but that there has been a dramatic increase in the use of automated renewal services, followed by a precipitous decrease in exit counts during the period under study, leading to the conclusion that automated renewal services have led to decreased physical usage of Davis Library.
