Here Will Be a New Mayor Elected in Five of the Six Cities We Are Examining
IMFG No. 9 / 2014 perspectives The Pre-Election Series The Times They Are A-Changin’ (Mostly): A 2014 Election Primer for Ontario’s Biggest Cities Edited by Zachary Spicer About IMFG The Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance (IMFG) is an academic research hub and non-partisan think tank based in the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. IMFG focuses on the fiscal health and governance challenges facing large cities and city-regions. Its objective is to spark and inform public debate, and to engage the academic and policy communities around important issues of municipal finance and governance. The Institute conducts original research on issues facing cities in Canada and around the world; promotes high-level discussion among Canada’s government, academic, corporate and community leaders through conferences and roundtables; and supports graduate and post-graduate students to build Canada’s cadre of municipal finance and governance experts. It is the only institute in Canada that focuses solely on municipal finance issues in large cities and city-regions. IMFG is funded by the Province of Ontario, the City of Toronto, Avana Capital Corporation, and TD Bank Group. Editor Zachary Spicer is a SSHRC post-doctoral fellow with the Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy. In the 2013-2014 academic year, he held a post-doctoral fellowship with the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance.

Marcaccio and Patricia Chow-Fraser Department of Biology, McMaster University Originating West Region , Ontario Ministry of Transportation Office Report Number 2015-15 ISBN Number To be added by MTO after completion Publication October 2018 Date Revision Date N/A Ministry Executive Director’s Office Contact Provincial Highways Management Division Ontario Ministry of Transportation 301 St. Paul Street, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada L2R 7R3 Tel: (905) 704-3998; [email protected] Abstract We mapped the distribution of invasive Phragmites australis (European common reed) in MTO-operated roadways of southern Ontario using airphotos from a provincial database, the Southwestern Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP), which covers all highways from Windsor east to Norfolk/Niagara and north to Tobermory. We mapped all available SWOOP images acquired in 2006, 2010 and 2015. In addition, we delineated invasive Phragmites along MTO-operated roadways within the footprint of the Southcentral Ontario Orthphotography Project (SCOOP acquired in 2013) and the Central Ontario Orthophotography Project (COOP acquired in 2016); the mapping excludes the Greater Toronto Area but includes Prince Edward county, roads through the city of Barrie, and north to Parry Sound. Based on available orthophotos for SWOOP only, total areal cover of invasive Phragmites expanded an order of magnitude between 2006 and 2010 (26.8 to 259.7 ha, respectively); between 2010 and 2015, there was only an increase of 7.2% (278.4 ha), presumably because of ongoing herbicide treatments that began on selected roads beginning in 2012. -

CSCE Annual Conference Growing with youth – Croître avec les jeunes Laval (Greater Montreal) June 12 - 15, 2019 A MACHINE-LEARNING SOLUTION FOR QUANTIFYING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON ROADS Piryonesi, S. M.1,2 and El-Diraby, T. E. 1 1 University of Toronto, Canada 2 [email protected] Abstract: Modeling pavement performance is a must for road asset management. In the age of climate change, pavement performance models need to be able to quantify the impact of climate change on roads. This paper provides a practical decision-support tool for predicting the condition of asphalt roads in the short and long term under a changing climate. Users have the option of running a predictive model under different values of climate stressors. The prediction of deterioration is performed via machine learning. More than a thousand examples of road sections from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database were used in the process of model training. The models can predict future values of pavement condition index (PCI) with an accuracy above 80%. The results were implemented in a web-based platform, which includes a map with an interactive dashboard. Users can query any road, input its data, and get relevant predictions about its deterioration in two, three, five and six years. To show the effectiveness of the solution two sets of examples were presented: two individual roads in Ontario and British Columbia and a group of 44 roads in Ontario. The condition of the latter was predicted under a hypothetical climate change scenario. The results suggested that the roads in Ontario will experience a more relaxed deterioration under this climate change scenario. -

Sabotage, Security, and Border-Crossing Culture: The Detroit River during the First World War, 1914-1918 BRANDON DIMMEL* This paper examines sabotage, security, and the Detroit River region’s border- crossing culture during the First World War. It finds that deep social and economic transnational relations in the years prior to the war meant few Windsor residents demonstrated any concern that they might become the target of German Americans, or “enemy aliens”, based in Detroit. And while these people were blasted out of their naïveté in June 1915, when the surrounding community was rocked by an explosion at a nearby uniform factory, over time fears associated with the border and Detroit’s German population subsided at the local level. The result would be confrontation between Windsorites and the federal government, which in the years following the attack attempted to impose strict border-crossing regulations on a traditionally permeable section of the international boundary. Le présent article porte sur le sabotage, la sécurité et la culture du passage de la frontière dans la région de la rivière Détroit au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Il fait ressortir qu’à la lumière des profondes relations socioéconomiques transnationales existant au cours des années d’avant-guerre, peu de résidents de Windsor auraient pensé s’inquiéter d’être la cible potentielle d’Américains d’origine allemande - sujets d’un pays ennemi - établis à Detroit. Tirés subitement de leur naïveté en juin 1915 lors de l’explosion d’une fabrique d’uniformes, les habitants de Windsor se sont remis sans tarder de leurs craintes liées à la frontière et à la population allemande de Detroit. -

U.S.-Canada Greenways Vision Map Will Bridge the Gap Between Emerging Trails and Bicycle Lanes
For Immediate Release: 24 April 2016 U.S.-Canada Greenways Vision Map Will Bridge the Gap Between Emerging Trails and Bicycle Lanes Windsor, Ontario/Detroit, Michigan – A U.S. - Canadian partnership is hoping a new map will encourage people to grab their bikes and explore both sides of the Detroit River. The group has released a binational greenways vision map to connect emerging international greenways, trails, and bike lanes, establishing safe and convenient routes for pedestrians and bicyclists. It is the vision of these Canadian and U.S. partners to encourage stronger linkages between emerging greenways of southwest Ontario and southeast Michigan via a future dedicated bike lane on the new Gordie Howe Bridge and a possible future ferry system between Windsor and Detroit. Greenways are connections that link communities, parks, nature areas, cultural features, economic centers, and historic sites. Based on experience throughout the world, greenways promote outdoor recreation, catalyze ecotourism and economic development, promote healthier life styles, provide safe alternatives to motorized transportation, increase adjacent property values, celebrate historical and cultural assets, promote conservation and environmental education, and improve quality of life. Windsor and Detroit share the same ecosystem and have much in common culturally, socially, economically, and historically. Each has a unique greenway system. For example, the City of Winsor maintains 128 km (79.5 miles) of trails, including the Windsor Loop that is a 42.5-km (26.4-mile) loop when completed will traverse around the City’s perimeter, joining neighborhoods and providing access to the Trans Canada Trail. The Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway trails will soon be open, offering an additional 20 km (12.4 miles) of greenways. -
Greenway Trials in Windsor, Ontario
Greenway Trials in Windsor, Ontario Lori Newton, Executive Director, Bike Windsor Essex, [email protected] Background Greenways are linear open spaces, including habitats and trails, that link parks, nature areas, cultural features, or historic sites with each other, for recreation and conservation purposes. Based on experience throughout North America, greenways promote outdoor recreation, catalyze economic development, increase adjacent property values, celebrate historical and cultural assets, promote conservation and environmental education, and improve quality of life. Greenways can provide an exceptional outdoor recreational experience that reconnects children and families to natural resources, and that builds a stewardship ethic. It should not be surprising that greenways are an enormous source of community pride. Windsor has a long history of greenways dating back to the 1960s. Windsor's Department of Parks and Recreation maintains 12 km2 of green space, 180 parks, and 64 km of trails. Beginning in the 1960s, Windsor started creating a shared-usage trail network, initially called the "Windsor Loop," that circumnavigates around the entire city and connects to neighboring communities (Table 1). The longest greenway trail in this network is the Roy A. Battagello River Walk (built in the late 1960s, and upgraded/widened several times), stretching from west of the Ambassador Bridge to the historical Hiram Walker Distillery, a distance of about 8 km.
