  • The Politicization of the Scarborough Rapid Transit Line in Post-Suburban Toronto
    THE ‘TOONERVILLE TROLLEY’: THE POLITICIZATION OF THE SCARBOROUGH RAPID TRANSIT LINE IN POST-SUBURBAN TORONTO Peter Voltsinis 1 “The world is watching.”1 A spokesperson for the Province of Ontario’s (the Province) Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) uttered those poignant words on March 21, 1985, one day before the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) inaugural opening of the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) line.2 One day later, Ontario Deputy Premier Robert Welch gave the signal to the TTC dispatchers to send the line’s first trains into the Scarborough Town Centre Station, proclaiming that it was “a great day for Scarborough and a great day for public transit.”3 For him, the SRT was proof that Ontario can challenge the world.4 This research essay outlines the development of the SRT to carve out an accurate place for the infrastructure project in Toronto’s planning history. I focus on the SRT’s development chronology, from the moment of the Spadina Expressway’s cancellation in 1971 to the opening of the line in 1985. Correctly classifying what the SRT represents in Toronto’s planning history requires a clear vision of how the project emerged. To create that image, I first situate my research within Toronto’s dominant historiographical planning narratives. I then synthesize the processes and phenomena, specifically postmodern planning and post-suburbanization, that generated public transit alternatives to expressway development in Toronto in the 1970s. Building on my synthesis, I present how the SRT fits into that context and analyze the changing landscape of Toronto land-use politics in the 1970s and early-1980s.

Introduction This report comprises a survey of research sources on Toronto’s Old Town area, as requested by Balen Grillo Design. The survey covers online, archival, and bibliographical sources, but particularly the first of these. My aim has been to document high­quality work that has already been done rather than to replicate it. Adriana Balen of Balen Grillo has suggested that this research is the exploratory phase of gathering accessible materials for inclusion on a website or webpage devoted to the Old Town. It is not yet decided whether this material will contribute to an expansion of an existing web presence, or to an entirely new website. Adriana also suspects that web resources on the Old Town are currently fragmented. Having conducted extensive web searches on the Old Town’s internet presence, I concur with her assessment. A site which aggregates these resources could be a valuable contribution to internet heritage resources on early Toronto. 2. Research Parameters The following outline reflects my understanding of evolving discussions about the nature of this project with Balen Grillo. Purpose.
