The study has been carried out as a Schedule C project in compliance with the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) document Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Act (October 2000 as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This Class Environmental Assessment provides the detailed assessment to define the solution and design of improvements within the study area. Problem s In the Highway 50 and Mayfield Road study corridor there is a high level of congestion with existing traffic. The volumes are forecast to increase greatly in the coming years due to planned developments, and additional road capacity is needed to serve new development planned in the immediate area along with general traffic growth, by 2031. Currently, only the automobile is accommodated in the study area. There is a lack of sidewalks and bicycle facilities along the corridors. There is no infrastructure (e.g. bus shelter / pads, priority measures) to support transit service.

  • An Ex Post Evaluation of the Ridership Impacts of the Viva Bus Transit System
    AN EX POST EVALUATION OF THE RIDERSHIP IMPACTS OF THE VIVA BUS TRANSIT SYSTEM by Robert David Forsey A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright Robert David Forsey 2011 An Ex Post Evaluation of the Ridership Impacts of the VIVA Bus Transit System by Robert David Forsey Master of Applied Science, 2011 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Toronto ABSTRACT The Regional Municipality of York introduced a new bus service known as VIVA in 2005. Although it has been deemed a success by many, it remains to be seen to what degree transit use was affected by its introduction. This study shows that transit ridership in York jumped substantially immediately after the implementation of VIVA. Furthermore, it is determined that the majority of new transit users in York are making home-based work or post-secondary school trips. To evaluate this, home-based work and post-secondary school generalized extreme value discrete choice models are estimated. Improvements in transit service are found to have a greater impact on transit mode share than increases in congestion for both work and post-secondary school trips. It is also, however, concluded that transit improvements played a relatively small role in the considerable shift to transit amongst post-secondary students. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors Drs. Amer Shalaby and Eric Miller for their thoughtful ideas, patience, and funding. I am greatly indebted to you both for your help. Although not strictly a thesis supervisor, Dr.

    From: Chris Drew Sent: 2021/02/02 9:52 AM To: City Clerks Office <[email protected]> Subject: [EXTERNAL]Written Deputation for Items 7.2 and 12.2.5: Drew Family Strongly Supports Queen Street - Highway 7 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Hi Clerks Team, We would be grateful if you could add this as a written deputation for items 7.2 and 12.2.5 for the Committee of Council agenda. These items are for the Queen Street - Highway 7 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Hi Council, It is wonderful to see the Metrolinx and City staff presentation and updates for the Queen Street - Highway 7 BRT project on the agenda. This is a long overdue project for Brampton, particularly the east portion of Brampton. The Drew family strongly supports this project and looks forward to using it when it opens. This project will create a more predictable, fast, and efficient transit commute. We encourage you to continue your funding advocacy efforts. In addition, the Hurontario LRT Extension will complement and help the Queen Street - Highway 7 BRT project, and it is positive to see City staff's efforts on that project and we look forward to more news in 2021. Our family remembers taking the old Brampton Transit-Vaughan Transit No. 77 bus route from the Bramalea City Centre to Thornhill to visit family. It was a wonderful regional connection and the service has only grown in the ensuing years with Zum. It's now time to take the service to the next level and follow in the footsteps of major cities across the world by providing bus service with dedicated lanes.
