  • Resilient City – Preparing for a Changing Climate Status Update and Next Steps
    PE15.2 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Resilient City – Preparing for a Changing Climate Status Update and Next Steps Date: November 2, 2016 To: Parks and Environment Committee From: Chief Corporate Officer Wards: All Wards Reference P:\2016\Internal Services\E&E\Pe16012e&e (AFS 22279) Number: SUMMARY Toronto has and is forecast to experience altered patterns of extreme weather as a result of climate change. Enhancing the resilience of Toronto’s infrastructure and services to these changing weather patterns to reduce the risk of damage and associated costs, injury and emergency situations is a priority of City Council. In 2014, City Council adopted the Climate Change Risk Management Policy outlining responsibilities and a governance structure for implementing the policy. Council also directed that staff report back on the status of implementation of the policy in 2016. Implementation of the policy has been guided by use of a Thematic Area High Level Risk Assessment (HLRA) approach, designed by the cross-corporate Resilient City Work Group to: - identify and assess potential risks of climate change and associated extreme weather events; - define the interdependencies between key infrastructure and service providers, both private and public sector; and - outline the actions that could be taken to mitigate priority risks. Over the past year, High Level Risk Assessments (HLRA) have been undertaken in three Thematic Areas: Utilities, Transportation and Water, in close collaboration with City divisions, as well as external private and broader public sector organizations. To date, work has involved City Planning, Environment & Energy, Engineering & Construction Services, Toronto Water, Toronto Public Health, Transportation Services, Toronto Resilient City Update and Next Steps 1 Transit Commission (TTC), Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), Toronto Hydro, Metrolinx, Hydro One, Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), Enwave, Enbridge, and representatives of the telecom sector.

  • Intention to Designate Under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act – 1783-1785 Bayview Avenue
    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act – 1783-1785 Bayview Avenue Date: April 9, 2018 To: Toronto Preservation Board North York Community Council From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 26 - Don Valley West SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 1783-1785 Bayview Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and include the property on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. It is a Provincial Heritage Property under the ownership and control of Metrolinx. The property contains a two-storey apartment building, comprising four units, constructed as part of a series of ten apartment buildings of similar design located on the east side of Bayview Avenue between Parkhurst Boulevard and Eglinton Avenue East in the Leaside neighbourhood. Constructed in 1936-1937 by the well-known contractor and Mayor of Leaside, Henry Howard Talbot and designed by the architect W. Breden Galbraith, the apartment building represents the Arts and Crafts style which is characteristic of Leaside's residential architecture. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 1783-1785 Bayview Avenue meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. At its meeting of January 31 - February 1, 2018, City Council stated its intention to designate one of the other ten properties in the series, 1755 Bayview Avenue. The property is owned by Metrolinx, a prescribed provincial public body, and is currently subject to Provincial Heritage Properties under Part III.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act that sets out the criteria and process for identifying provincial heritage properties and sets the standard for their protection, maintenance, use and disposal.

  • Toronto Transit Commission/City of Toronto TRANSIT PROJECT
    Toronto Transit Commission/City of Toronto EGLINTON CROSSTOWN LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT TRANSIT PROJECT ASSESSMENT Environmental Project Report northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Croham Road. Interface with Existing Transit A bus loop is proposed adjacent to Caledonia Station to provide a direct connection between the Eglinton Crosstown LRT with the existing Route 47B and Route 47C (Lansdowne) buses which currently travel in a north-south direction on Caledonia Road. The proposed bus loop is located at the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Croham Road. Buses will travel counterclockwise through the loop, which will have one bus bay for passenger pickup/drop-off. To facilitate the proposed LRT/bus interface, the through bus services on Caledonia Road (47 Lansdowne) will be rerouted via Eglinton Avenue to a bus loop located east of the GO Rail line next to the main entrance. Northbound and southbound buses on Caledonia Road will turn west onto Eglinton Avenue, followed by a right turn north onto Croham Road then a left turn into the east end of the bus loop. After passing counterclockwise through the loop, buses will exit the bus loop by making an eastbound left turn onto Eglinton Avenue, and from there rejoin its regular route on Caledonia Road. In addition to the bus interface, there is potential for a future connection with GO Rail at Caledonia Station, which operates its Barrie service in the north-south rail corridor between Caledonia Station and the proposed bus loop. The potential future connection is shown in Exhibit 125 although exact connectivity will be subject to GO Rail alignment and platform configurations.
