CARRIED _________________________________________ 52 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#B21/12 - GREENLANDS ACQUISITION PROJECT FOR 2011-2015 Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River Watershed 1029626 Ontario Inc., CFN 47183. Purchase of property located south of King Street, east of Kennedy Road - Campbells Cross, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, under the "Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015", Flood Plain and Conservation Component, Humber River watershed. Moved by: Maria Augimeri Seconded by: Richard Whitehead THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT 5.96 hectares (14.72 acres), more or less, of vacant land being Part of Lot 27, Concession 2 EHS (Chinguacousy) and designated as Blocks 22 and 23 on a Draft Plan of Subdivision prepared by Ivan B. Wallace, Ontario Land Surveyors Ltd., Drawing No. 5-9104-M, dated February 10, 2012, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, located south of King Street, east of Kennedy Road - Campbells Cross, be purchased from 1029626 Ontario Inc.; THAT the purchase price be $2.00; THAT Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) receive conveyance of the lands free from encumbrance, subject to existing service easements; THAT Gardiner Roberts LLP, be instructed to complete the transaction at the earliest possible date. All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs, and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT authorized TRCA officials be directed to take the necessary action to finalize the transaction including obtaining needed approvals and signing and execution of documents. CARRIED RATIONALE The subject property falls within TRCA's approved master plan for acquisition for the Humber River watershed as outlined in the approved Greenlands Acquisition Project for 2011-2015. Through the review of residential subdivision 21T-07002C, TRCA staff established the limits of the open space lands (i.e. Blocks 22 and 23 on Draft Plan of Survey) which are comprised of the Regional Storm flood plain and valley corridor of a headwater tributary of the West Humber River at this location. Since TRCA does not presently own any adjoining property east, north or south of the open space lands to be acquired and the abutting residential lots to the west will effectively isolate Blocks 22 and 23, an access easement over the proposed stormwater management facility (i.e. Blocks 25 and 26 to be transferred to the Town of Caledon) will be granted to TRCA as part of this transaction in order to periodically inspect Blocks 22 and 23. 53 TAXES AND MAINTENANCE Based on TRCA's preliminary review of the environmental criteria for lands that are eligible to receive a property tax exemption under the provincial Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program, it would appear that all of the subject property would be eligible for exemption for the 2013 taxation year. The addition of the subject parcel of land will not significantly impact TRCA's maintenance costs at this location. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the costs related to this purchase are available in the TRCA land acquisition capital account.

  • Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee
    Winter 2016-2017 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LIII No. 4 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee Friends and family, hikers, and Toronto Bruce Trail Club Conservation Committee members, about 75 in all, gathered at Limehouse Com- munity Hall on a beautiful early September Sunday. The occasion was the Grand Opening of a new Side Trail in memory of Todd Bardes, a dedicated and treasured Bruce Trail volunteer. Car and bus thru-hikes had been organized for the day to coincide with the early afternoon opening of the Trail. Peter Leeney, friend of Todd and currently Land Stewardship Director and past President of the Toronto Club, spoke of Todd's long history with the Bruce Trail. Todd joined the Bruce Trail Association in 1994 and had been actively involved with trail activities since 1996 both at the club level, the broader Board level, and most recently as President. In 2001 the Bruce Trail purchased the 39-acre Springle property just north of Limehouse. Todd and his wife, Christina, subsequently took on the role of Land Stewards. Existing ATV disturbance in the mead- owland portion of the property was an issue needing attention. Fellow Bruce Trail volunteer, Andrew Costley, came up with the idea of a community-based and monitored Side Trail through the meadow. Todd, along with support from other volunteers, wholeheartedly agreed, and through their efforts the Side Trail came to life. Andrew Costley, on behalf of all volunteers who knew Todd, spoke Hike Leader Training 2017 of him as a friend and mentor, providing both advice and leadership with wise and patient counsel.

  • CHAPTER 7 One of the Fundamental Components of the Natural Heritage System Is Water
    WATER CHAPTER 7 One of the fundamental components of the natural heritage system is water. All life depends upon it. Water is constantly moving or cycling through the environment. This movement of water as atmospheric moisture, groundwater, and surface water is known as the hydrologic cycle (see Figure 7). The quality and quantity of these resources are important factors in the determination of watershed health. 7.1 GROUNDWATER Groundwater is an essential component of the hydrologic cycle, and hence of the natural heritage system. As groundwater moves through one or more geologic layers, it can eventually discharge, or seep out, into valleys, streams, lakes or wetlands. In this way, groundwater provides the baseflow of many streams and can regulate factors such as water quantity, quality, and temperature. FIGURE 7: The Hydrologic Cycle 7.1.1 Groundwater Quantity It is important to note that similar to surface water, groundwater typically flows downhill following the slope of the water table. Groundwater also flows toward and eventually drains into watercourses and lakes. The Highland Creek watershed is underlain by layers of soil deposited over many thousands of years. Some of these layers are permeable and allow water to 67 STATE OF THE WATERSHED REPORT: HIGHLAND CREEK WATERSHED flow through them. These are known as aquifers. Others are less permeable and slow down the movement of water. These are known as aquitards. The Highland Creek watershed is underlain by three major aquifers, known as the Upper, Middle, and Lower Aquifers (Eyles et al., 1998). The Upper Aquifer is intermittent across the watershed. It is confined to a thin layer of soil on the South Slope less than five metres in thickness, and to the Lake Iroquois sand plain situated south of the Lake Iroquois shoreline (Eyles et al., 1998).

  • UP Express Electrification EA Noise and Vibration Assessment Report
    UP Express Electrification EA Noise and Vibration Assessment Report FINAL Project No. 1124019.00 March, 2014 UP Express Electrification EA FINAL Impact Assessment Report – Noise and Vibration Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to document the noise and vibration Baseline Conditions (Part A) and Impact Assessment (Part B) that was completed as part of the UP Express Electrification EA. Baseline conditions were established using modelling and measurements that were completed in support of previous Georgetown South Service Expansion and Union Pearson Rail Link (GSSE-UPRL) EA reports completed by Metrolinx. Operational noise and vibration impacts have been evaluated based on guidance from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) for evaluation of rail transportation projects (i.e., the UP Express service) and stationary sources (i.e., supporting facilities including paralleling stations and EMU maintenance facility). Noise and vibration impacts from construction activities associated with the UP Express project have been considered in accordance with the requirements of the applicable MOE guidelines and best practices. The UP Express service will also include transformer stations associated with the Traction Power Supply system. The Traction Power Supply system is subject to the provincial Environmental Assessment Act in accordance with the Class EA for Minor Transmission Facilities. Therefore, the potential effects related to the new TPS are being assessed by Hydro One as part of this separate Class EA process (refer to the Hydro One Union Pearson Express Electrification Traction Power Supply System Class Environmental Assessment - Draft Environmental Study Report). The UP Express service will commence operations with train sets comprised of Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs).

  • William R. Allen Road Temporary Closure – Metrolinx Eglinton Crosstown LRT Tunnel Boring Machine Lift
    PW2.5 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED William R. Allen Road Temporary Closure – Metrolinx Eglinton Crosstown LRT Tunnel Boring Machine Lift Date: February 2, 2015 To: Public Works and Infrastructure Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Ward 15 (Eglinton-Lawrence) Ward 21 (St. Paul's) Reference P:\2015\ClusterB\TRA\TIM\pw15004tim.docx Number: SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek City Council’s authority to close the section of William R. Allen Road between Eglinton Avenue West and Lawrence Avenue West for one weekend in order to safely facilitate the lift and transfer of two tunnel boring machines being utilized by Metrolinx for its construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project. A closing of one of the southbound lanes is also recommended prior to the weekend closure in order to facilitate construction staging. Additional closures are required on Eglinton Avenue West from Flanders Road (immediately to the east of William R. Allen Road) to Park Hill Road (immediately to the west of William R. Allen Road). This includes the off-ramp from southbound William R. Allen Road and the on-ramp to northbound William R. Allen Road. These closures can be approved by the General Manager of Transportation Services. Further to the proposed closure of William R. Allen Road between Eglinton Avenue West and Lawrence Avenue West, the section between Lawrence Avenue West and Sheppard Avenue West would also be closed at the same time for maintenance purposes. This additional closure for City maintenance, which also falls under the delegated authority of the General Manager, is being combined with the closure proposed by Metrolinx to avoid the need for a second weekend closure of William R.

  • Activeto Next Steps for 2021: Supplementary Report
    REPORT FOR ACTION ActiveTO Next Steps for 2021: Supplementary Report Date: April 6, 2021 To: City Council From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Ward(s) affected or All SUMMARY Throughout 2020, the City of Toronto's Transportation Services Division introduced a variety of COVID-19 response programs in consultation with the Medical Officer of Health to accommodate the need for residents to be outside of their homes while physical distancing. These programs, including ActiveTO, transformed Toronto's streets to support the city during the first summer of the pandemic. ActiveTO was composed of three main programs; Major Road Closures, Quiet Streets and Cycling Network Expansion. This set of programs enabled the largest expansion of cycling infrastructure in the City's history and supported thousands of safe cycling and walking trips to essential services and recreation for mental and physical health. On March 23, 2021, Infrastructure and Environment Committee (IEC) endorsed the recommendations of IE 20.12 ActiveTO - Lessons Learned from 2020 and Next Steps for 2021, and requested that (1) the General Manager, Transportation Services report directly to the April 7 and 8, 2021 City Council meeting on the following: a. opportunities to accommodate Lake Shore Boulevard West ActiveTO partial or full closures on select weekends or consider alternate ActiveTO installations, similar to Bayview Avenue; b. opportunities for additional ActiveTO locations, including on the Exhibition Place grounds; and c. opportunities to accelerate traffic-calming in local neighbourhoods through the refocused efforts mentioned in the report, and creating enhanced Quiet Streets, based on lessons learned in 2020, as well as opportunities for a Quiet Neighbourhoods approach where appropriate.
