Staff Report STAFF REPORT February 9, 2006 To: Economic Development and Parks Committee From: Sue Corke, Deputy City Manager Subject: Business Improvement Area (BIA) 2003-2006 Boards of Management Additions and Deletions All Wards Purpose: To appoint new members and replace existing members for various Business Improvement Area (BIA) Boards of Management, and to make the necessary amendments to the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 19, "Business Improvement Areas". Financial Implications and Impact Statement: There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report. Recommendations: It is recommended that: (1) Council appoint new members and replace existing members of Boards of Management for nine Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) as set out in Attachment No. 1 to this report; (2) Council amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 19, “Business Improvement Areas” to alter the number of members on the Boards of Management, and adjust or establish quorums as necessary, as set out in Attachment No. 2 to this report; (4) Leave be granted for the introduction of the necessary bills in Council to give effect thereto; and (5) The appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto. - 2 - Background: Section 204 of the Municipal Act requires that Council appoint members to the Boards of Management of each Business Improvement Area (BIA) for a term expiring at the end of the term of the Council making the appointments.

  • Bus Lane Implementation Plan
    2045.5 For Action Bus Lane Implementation Plan Date: July 14, 2020 To: TTC Board From: Chief Strategy & Customer Officer Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the TTC is a vital service in Toronto providing transportation to essential destinations including employment, healthcare, groceries and pharmacies. Although TTC ridership may be down to 22% of pre-pandemic levels, the TTC continues to serve hundreds of thousands of customer-trips on a daily basis. We also have learned through this pandemic, that bus customers have relied on our services the most - 36% of the customers that used buses prior to COVID-19 are still using the system as compared to 19% of subway customers, as of the week ending June 26. As the city and GTHA re-opens and recovery begins, it is expected that people who have the resources and option to, will return to private vehicles, taxis or private transportation companies (PTCs) more quickly than to transit in order to maintain physical distance from others. The TTC’s surface transit network plays a critical role in moving people around Toronto and we must enhance its attractiveness to ensure it continues to provide a viable alternative to the automobile. A key initiative to achieve this is the implementation of bus transit lanes, which will provide customers with a safe, reliable and fast service. The TTC’s 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook identified a 20-point action plan including Action 4.1 Explore Bus Transit Lanes. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop the following prioritization and implementation plan for the five corridors identified in the Plan.

At the request of Councillor Ana Bailão, Transportation Services is reporting on the results of traffic calming polls undertaken on Brock Avenue and Pauline Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Wallace Avenue. In each case, the polls provided a response rate of less than the 50 percent plus one ballot required by the traffic calming policy needed to confirm that there is a favourable consensus in the community to install traffic calming measures.
