The City of Quinte West has prepared a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) in order to leverage the strengths of the existing transportation network and to provide a comprehensive 20 year direction for transportation investments. This vision is intended to establish a strategic direction for the City, and will help Quinte West plan effectively to enhance the existing vehicular transportation system connecting its urban and future growth areas. The focus of the TMP is on infrastructure needs for vehicular modes of transportation, but also considers the use of non-automobile modes such as transit and active transportation. The resulting TMP creates a viable long-term mobility plan for infrastructure improvements that will support the anticipated growth and change in the City of Quinte West over the next 20 years. 1.2 HOW THE MASTER PLAN WAS DEVELOPED 1.2.1 Study Process The first step in the Transportation Master Plan process was to assess the existing transportation conditions throughout the City in both urban and rural areas, and to identify any existing opportunities for or challenges to mobility. Where data were available, current usage of the transportation network was analyzed and reported. The analyses included a review of the existing conditions along both the Dundas Street and Dixon Drive corridors over the Trent River, as well as a high level screenline analysis of the major arterial roads around Trenton. The screenline analysis informed the development of the travel demand forecasting model which will be described in further detail below. Concurrent with the assessment of existing conditions was the launch of the public consultation campaign. The campaign featured a “kick-off” public engagement campaign at the Quinte West Home Show on Friday, April 19 th , 2013, and included a display board and information packages which informed the public on the major project milestones, key points of contact and also directed attendees to an online survey to provide their feedback. The first Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, to gain input from the public on the pressing transportation issues and opportunities facing the City. A wide range of stakeholders have been contacted within the City, in addition to neighbouring CITY OF QUINTE WEST TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN Final Draft 1 January 2014 “BUILDING MOMENTUM: A STRATEGIC AND CONNECTED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM” jurisdictions, the Ministry of Transportation, First Nations and other stakeholder groups. The first PIC also summarized the results of the existing analysis for review by the public and stakeholders. With an understanding of the existing conditions, the project moved into the next phase to identify and test transportation strategies to address existing and future needs and opportunities within the City. Firstly, the intersection capacity model developed for Dundas Street and Dixon Drive was used to optimize the signal phasing and timing along these corridors. A comparative analysis approach was used to determine the magnitude of changes to the corridor as a result of the signal optimization process. Secondly, the travel demand forecasting model was developed using the Emme 4 transportation forecasting software package. It was validated to existing AADT counts, and then was used to project the 2031 traffic conditions based on growth forecasts obtained from the City. These two sources of information were then used to identify a list

  • Consolidated Municipal Services Managers and Areas Served
    CONSOLIDATED MUNICIPAL SERVICES MANAGERS AND AREAS SERVED Consolidated Municipal Services Managers (CMSMs) in Southern Ontario provide a similar range of programs and services and also provide land ambulance and public health services with the approval of the Minister of Health. The role of the delivery agent in the provision of social services has progressed over time. The Local Services Realignment announced by the government in January 1997, outlined new directions for the delivery of social assistance, child care and social housing. These changes have created the opportunity to implement a more integrated system of social and community health services under municipal leadership. An integrated system is one in which policies; programs and services are coordinated and complementary and serve common goals that address the well being of individuals, families and communities. Consolidation of municipal service management has resulted in the management of the delivery of social assistance, child care, and social housing by 36 municipalities in Southern Ontario and by 10 District Social Services Administration Boards as well as the Regional Municipality of Sudbury in Northern Ontario. Authority to require consolidation of municipal service management is provided by the Services Improvement Act and the Social Assistance Reform Act. In Northern Ontario, ten District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs) and the Regional Municipality of Sudbury were approved as CMSMs. DSSABs are responsible for serving both municipalities and territories without municipal organization. The nine southern Ontario regional municipalities plus the City of Toronto are, by legislation, boards of health for their region, as well as CMSMs. [Please refer to attached chart outlining Consolidated Municipal Service Managers - Ontario Works, Child Care and Social Housing -- area served in Southern and Northern Ontario] 1 Consolidated Municipal Service Managers Ontario Works, Child Care and Social Housing Service Manager Area Served SOUTHERN ONTARIO 1.

  • Greetings, People Want to Stop the Sale of Orillia Power Distribution To
    Recipient: Ontario Energy Board Letter: Greetings, People want to stop the sale of Orillia Power Distribution to Hydro One! Orillia Power is a legacy to Orillian hydro power consumers who are shareholders in the corporation since it's inception in 1898, 120 years ago. In the year 2000 Orillia council commandeered the shareholder's dividends redirecting the money to City coffers instead of shareholders pockets. In 2016 Orillia council decided behind closed doors to do an Orillia Power Distribution sellout to Hydro One which is about 50% privatized. We, the people of Orillia and more, say NO! to the Orillia Power Distribution sellout. We impeach Orillia council for the total violation of public trust in selling out our legacy behind closed doors without consumer consent. We demand our dividends. We also demand the interest we have paid on an artificially created debt where there was no debt: Orillia Power consumers have paid into City coffers an average of about $3259.26 plus tax from the year 2000 to 2016. We demand full transparency on the alleged interest of the artificially created debt. We do not buy into the intimidation tactics Hydro One is using in their attempt to take Orillia Power Distribution. Orillia Power consumers say NO! to the Orillia Power Distribution sellout to Hydro One.

The space is served by transit immediately on its doorstep and is a 15 minute walk from Keele Subway Station and a 20 minute walk to Bloor GO Station and the new UP Express Airport Link. The space will be receiving a new façade, giving it exceptional street front presence on a bustling retail strip. FLOOR PLAN 900 sq. ft. Area Overview Historically an industrial area of the city, Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood has become a thriving mixed use community and home to some of the city’s most interesting furniture shops, espresso bars, restaurants and a live music venue. The area has managed to maintain much of its original character as new retail and office tenants adopt the area and repurpose existing buildings to create their own unique spaces. The Junction is now one of the city’s fastest growing communities for young families, professionals, and tastemakers. It has also become a destination for craft brewing, dining, and specialty shopping. With the influx of residential development in the area, tenants are poised to benefit from increased foot traffic along Dundas Street West and the growing destination appeal of this rapidly developing community.
