  • DUFFERIN STREET UNDERPASS Toronto, Ontario
    Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards 2011 Project Entry for DUFFERIN STREET UNDERPASS Toronto, Ontario Association of Consulting Engineering Companies Dufferin Street Underpass 2011 Awards Toronto, Ontario TABLE OF CONTENTS Signed Official Entry Form ................................................................................ i Entry Consent Form ......................................................................................... ii PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS .................................................................................................. 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION ................................................................................................ 1 TOC iii Association of Consulting Engineering Companies Dufferin Street Underpass 2011 Awards Toronto, Ontario PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS For more than one hundred years, the southbound journey on Dufferin Street in Toronto, Ontario was stopped short by a major, multi-track rail corridor. Cars, buses and emergency vehicles alike were forced to turn left, entering the infamous "Dufferin Jog". This three block circuitous route through a residential neighborhood added only time and confusion to those wishing to travel further south. Delcan was contracted to remedy this by designing and engineering a smart solution that would seamlessly link the two parts of Dufferin Street. The City of Toronto billed this project as an exercise in "urban place-making", wanting to both improve access and revitalize a community at the same time. Delcan's crisp urban design met these requirements

  • Toronto Tunnels Plan
    TORONTO TUNNELS PLAN 1 Toronto Tunnels Plan After reviewing traffic counts and traffic patterns throughout the City of Toronto using the latest traffic counts from the City’s transportation department, it clearly shows that the west end of the city has higher traffic levels and is prone to gridlock more than the east end. For example, traffic volumes on Highway 401 at Keele Street reach a peak of approximately 400,000 vehicles per day while volumes on Highway 401 in Scarborough is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day. Similarly, traffic volumes on the Gardiner Expressway at Dunn Avenue is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day while volume at Cherry Street at the expressway’s east end is approximately 85,000 vehicles per day. Also, there is a lack of a continuous north-south expressway between Highway 401 and the Gardiner Expressway between Highway 427 and the Don Valley Parkway, which is a width of nearly 20 kilometres. The only exception is the incomplete Allen Expressway which terminates at Eglinton Avenue. This area is served by a 2 network of local streets which are very narrow and often congested. Similarly, Highway 400 turns into Black Creek Drive south of Highway 401, which is a heavily congested arterial road which connects into very narrow local streets south of Eglinton Avenue. The area bounded by Highway 401 in the north, Highway 427 in the west, the Don Valley Parkway in the east and the Gardiner Expressway in the south is entirely made up of narrow four-lane local streets which are heavily congested and serving local businesses.

  • Bathurst Manor
    Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 31, 2021 181 Donna Bernardo-Ceriz A Jewish Tale of Suburbia: Bathurst Manor 182 Donna Bernado-Ceriz / A Jewish Tale of Suburbia: Bathurst Manor How does one tell the story of a neighbourhood? If examining the changing and de- veloping physical landscape, then records are in no short supply at various govern- ment archives: census records, municipal planning records, maps, assessment roles, directories, building surveys, and aerial photographs, to name only a few. Retelling the experiences of a community of people, however, requires a slightly different re- search strategy. Personal papers, photographs, letters, home movies, and oral histo- ries offer a glimpse into the lives of residents. Organizational records can provide insight into the cultural, religious, and social needs of a community and the services offered. But what if those records do not exist or cannot easily be located? The Ontario Jewish Archives (OJA) receive over 650 research requests each year. If we divide that by the number of working days (ignoring vacations, stat, and Jewish hol- idays), that equals 2.5 inquiries every day. Some of these inquiries are fairly quick and straightforward, and some are long, protracted research endeavours. We also receive over 50,000 unique users to our website each year; researchers whom we never in- teract with and whose research we never hear about. Of these research requests, a sizable number are related to Jewish spaces and shifting landscapes. “I’m researching the history of Kensington Market”; “Do you have any records on The Ward?”; “I’d like to study the small communities in Ontario”; “I’m interested in how Bathurst Street became the spine of Toronto’s Jewish community.” While these questions may appear well defined, it is the archivist’s job to determine what the researcher is actually asking.
