  • STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Lake Shore Boulevard West
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Lake Shore Boulevard West - Speed Limit Reduction Date: March 29, 2007 To: Etobicoke York Community Council From: Director, Transportation Services - Etobicoke York District Wards: Ward 6 – Etobicoke-Lakeshore Reference eycc070058-to - 4757 Number: SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to reduce the speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West, between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court, from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. Given the existence of Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) streetcar tracks on the majority of this section of Lake Shore Boulevard West and the curved road alignment east of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway on-ramp/Brookers Lane, a lower (50 km/h) speed limit is justified and recommended. In addition, the proposed 50 km/h speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court will provide for a consistent speed limit on this road in the Etobicoke York Community. RECOMMENDATIONS Transportation Services recommends that: 1. City Council approve the reduction of the speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. Financial Impact Type of Funding Source of Funds Amount Available within current budget Transportation Services Operating Budget $700.00 ISSUE BACKGROUND Transportation Services, in meetings with Councillor Mark Grimes and residents of the Humber Bay Shores community, have received requests to determine the appropriateness of the 60 km/h speed limit on Lake Shore Boulevard West between Mimico Creek and Palace Pier Court. A map of the area is Attachment No.

  • Results of the King Street Transit Pilot
    For Action Results of the King Street Transit Pilot Date: April 11, 2019 To: TTC Board From: Chief Customer Officer Summary The King Street Transit Pilot began on November 12, 2017 providing greater priority for the TTC’s King streetcar customers between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street over the past year and a half. From a transit perspective, the pilot project is a success: Faster and more predictable transit travel times: On average, streetcars now travel faster during all periods of the day and times are more predictable, making the service more attractive. Approximately 30,000 minutes of travel time are saved by King streetcar customers daily. More people taking transit along the King Street corridor: With more predictable travel, more people are taking King streetcars than ever, with daily weekday ridership growing by 16% from 72,000 to 84,000 boardings per day. Capacity grew on King Street through the pilot project to meet unprecedented increases in demand. Greater customer satisfaction with King streetcar service: Prior to the pilot, overall customer satisfaction with King streetcar service was low on key measures such as travel time, comfort, and wait time. Through the pilot period, customer satisfaction on all these measures has significantly improved. Improved efficiency and reliability of streetcar operations: Streetcar service on King Street is now more productive, with 25% more customers per hour of service operated. Overall reliability has improved with reduced variability in the busiest portion of the route. TTC and City staff recommend that the pilot project be made permanent as the King Street Transit Priority Corridor with immediate enhancements to the pilot design, such as improvements to streetcar stops and improved signage at intersections.

  • King Street Pilot Monitoring and Evaluation
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED King Street Transit Pilot: Monitoring and Evaluation Date: October 16, 2017 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to inform the TTC Board of the benchmarks of success for the King Street Transit Pilot, as directed at the June 15, 2017 TTC Board meeting. The King Street Transit Pilot will improve priority for transit vehicles along the King Street corridor, between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street. At its June 15, 2017 meeting, the TTC Board approved support for the proposed King Street Transit Pilot, and City Council approved the implementation of the pilot at its July 6, 2017 Council meeting. The target implementation date for the pilot is November 2017. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop performance metrics and an overall monitoring program for the King Street Transit Pilot. The program will provide a means for responding to operational issues during the pilot, and provide a method for evaluating the overall success of the pilot. The success of the King Street Transit Pilot Project will be defined by improvements to transit performance informed primarily by three metrics: reliability, ridership and travel times. Transit performance represents one important element of the overall pilot. As part of the broader evaluation and monitoring program, information will be collected on a wide range of other criteria such as vehicles (including volumes, travel times, intersection delay), changes in active transportation, impacts on safety for all modes, curbside space utilization (including deliveries), taxi operations, changes in both on-street and off-street parking activity, changes in economic activity and local business operations, compliance and enforcement, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, use of the public realm, and public opinion.

  • Transit's Lost Decade
    Transit’s Lost Decade: How Paying More for Less is Killing Public Transit A report prepared by Steve Munro And The Rocket Riders Transit User Group About the Rocket Riders: The Rocket Riders Transit Users Group is made up of users and supporters of public transit in the Greater Toronto area. Our Mission is to support the efforts of the TTC and other transit authorities to provide a wide range of high quality, cost-efficient transit services during a time of massive financial cutbacks. We are concerned with public safety, public education, educating municipal policy-makers and the business community, as well as maintaining and/or increasing funding available to transit. The Rocket Riders are a caucus of the Toronto Environmental Alliance. For more information, contact: The Rocket Riders Transit Users Group c/o the Toronto Environmental Alliance 201-30 Duncan Street Toronto, ON M5V-2C3 Tel. (416) 596-0500 Fax (416) 596-0345 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.rocketriders.org The Rocket Riders gratefully acknowledge the support of the Toronto Atmospheric Fund, Transport Canada’s Moving on Sustainable Transportation program and the Toronto Environmental Alliance Educational Foundation. Toronto’s Transit System in Crisis Toronto’s transit system is in sorry shape. A quick comparison with the year 1990 shows ridership is down nearly 10%, fares have doubled in some cases, and most importantly the quality of bus and streetcar service has markedly dropped. Serious problems have also emerged for the Wheel-Trans system. In short we are paying more and getting less. Reduced funding from the provincial and municipal governments has been the main problem in the lost decade.

  • 103-111 Ossington Avenue PLANNING OPINION
    OSSINGTON AVENUE AREA STUDY COMMENTARY AND *** 103-111 Ossington Avenue PLANNING OPINION TORONTO'S GROWTH IMPERATIVE The City of Toronto is forecast to have approximately 3.08 million residents by 2031 – representing a growth in population of approximately 500,000 over the next 20 years. [AVENUES & MID-RISE BUILDINGS STUDY: Introduction] Toronto labelled its 21st century urban ambition, its Official Plan, an Intensification Strategy... – Intensification is about increasing magnitudes. Meanwhile, cities around the globe labelled their comparable efforts as Consolidation Strategies... – Consolidation is about how things fit together. Toronto launched its Official Plan without an accompanying Zoning By-law – an implement intended to inform development with articulating metrics. As a result, the existing in-force Zoning was dismissed as archaic, though little or no change was anticipated throughout the majority of the city... – “the planned context typically reinforces the existing context”. [OP: 3.1.2 BUILT FORM] The development industry embraced intensification as an invitation to open the bidding. The notion of an intensification imperative arose, manifest in spiralling and spreading height and density increases... – in effect: urban sprawl. * A perfect storm had arisen, fuelled by intensification without metrics, amplified by assertions of a growth imperative, resulting in proposals such as the 103-111 Ossington Avenue proposal...begging the question of veracity, as to whether this is a fitting solution. ||| OSSINGTON AVENUE IS NOT AN AVENUE, NOT AN AREA TARGETED FOR GROWTH Policy 2. Growth will be directed to the Centres, Avenues, Employment Districts and the Downtown [OP: 2.2 STRUCTURING GROWTH IN THE CITY] Avenues are expected to deliver 50% of Toronto's growth.
