    APPENDIX 5 February 2013 APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5-A Paper #5a Transit Service and Infrastructure Paper #5a TRANSIT SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE This paper outlines public transit service within the Town of Oakville, identifies the role of public transit within the objectives of the Livable Oakville Plan and the North Oakville Secondary Plans, outlines the current transit initiatives and identifies future transit strategies and alternatives. This report provides an assessment of target transit modal share, the level of investment required to achieve these targets and the anticipated effectiveness of alternative transit investment strategies. This paper will provide strategic direction and recommendations for Oakville Transit, GO Transit and VIA Rail service, and identify opportunities to better integrate transit with other modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling, as well as providing for accessible services. 1.0 The Role of Transit in Oakville 1.1. Provincial Policy The Province of Ontario has provided direction to municipalities regarding growth and the relationship between growth and sustainable forms of travel including public transit. Transit is seen to play a key role in addressing the growth pressures faced by municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, including the Town of Oakville. In June 2006, the Province of Ontario released a Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The plan is a framework for implementing the Province’s vision for building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth in the region to 2031. The plan outlines strategies for managing growth with emphasis on reducing dependence on the automobile and “promotes transit, cycling and walking”. In addition, the plan establishes “urban growth centres” as locations for accommodating a significant share of population and employment growth.

    New Station Initial Business Case Milton-Trafalgar Final October 2020 New Station Initial Business Case Milton-Trafalgar Final October 2020 Contents Introduction 1 The Case for Change 4 Investment Option 12 Strategic Case 18 Economic Case 31 Financial Case 37 Deliverability and Operations Case 41 Business Case Summary 45 iv Executive Summary Introduction The Town of Milton in association with a landowner’s group (the Proponent) approached Metrolinx to assess the opportunity to develop a new GO rail station on the south side of the Milton Corridor, west of Trafalgar Road. This market-driven initiative assumes the proposed station would be planned and paid for by the private sector. Once built, the station would be transferred to Metrolinx who would own and operate it. The proposed station location is on undeveloped land, at the heart of both the Trafalgar Corridor and Agerton Employment Secondary Plan Areas studied by the Town of Milton in 2017. As such, the project offers the Town of Milton the opportunity to realize an attractive and vibrant transit-oriented community that has the potential to benefit the entire region. Option for Analysis This Initial Business Case (IBC) assesses a single option for the proposed station. The opening-day concept plan includes one new side platform to the north of the corridor, with protection for a future second platform to the south. The site includes 1,000 parking spots, a passenger pick-up/drop-off area (40 wait spaces, 10 load spaces), bicycle parking (128 covered spaces, 64 secured spaces) and a bus loop including 11 sawtooth bus bays.

The facilities, shown in Figure 1 and described in Table 1 below, include publicly-funded schools, cultural facilities, libraries, child care centres, parks, community and recreation centres, and human/social and emergency services. Although the MTSA Study Area focuses on lands within 800 metres of the Bronte GO Station, a wider 1.6 kilometre service Catchment Area is considered to capture facilities in the “first mile” and “last mile” of transit trips that would serve existing and new residents in the Study Area. The 1.6 kilometre radius that delineates the service Catchment Area is shown in Figure 1.

  • City of Mississauga Bus Rapid Transit (Brt)
    APPENDIX 1 CITY OF MISSISSAUGA BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) – MISSISSAUGA SEGMENT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Executive Summary McCORMICK RANKIN May 2003 Introduction This executive summary highlights the findings and recommendations of a comprehensive update of the Mississauga Transitway approved under the Environmental Assessment Act in 1992. The Transitway was proposed as a fully grade-separated roadway for exclusive transit operations with on-line stations similar to rail transit systems. This concept is referred to as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The Ridgeway Drive to Hurontario Street section is illustrated below. Figure 1 –Mississauga Transitway Proposal: Ridgeway Drive to Hurontario Street Six stations were proposed on the Transitway west of the City Centre with park ‘n’ ride lots being provided at the two most westerly stations. Access ramps were developed at most of the stations to permit buses to enter and leave the facility. East of Mavis Road, the Transitway crossed Highway 403 in tunnel to connect with the City Centre station. The Hurontario to Renforth section of the proposed Transitway is illustrated below. Figure 2 –Mississauga Transitway Proposal: Hurontario Street to Renforth Drive From Hurontario Street, the Transitway continued on the south side of Highway 403, then adjacent to Eastgate Parkway, then parallel to the north side of Eglinton Avenue terminating at a station at Renforth Drive south of LBPIA. There were nine stations proposed east of the City Centre; several with park ‘n’ ride and bus access. Since 1992, there have been a number of land use changes and policy decisions which have occurred that have affected the funding and the development of the project.
