  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

We also acknowledge the many First Nations, Metis, Inuit and other global Indigenous people that now call Brampton their home. We are honoured to live, work and enjoy this land. Welcome to the City of Brampton LRT Extension Study Virtual Open House 2 • Welcome to the 2nd virtual Open House for the Brampton LRT Extension Project. • In today’s virtual Open House, we will share: • an update on the study since the last virtual open house in Summer 2020, • the findings of the evaluation of the short list LRT options, and • a summary of the emerging preferred options. • We are looking for input on the two emerging preferred options - scroll through the materials to learn more about the options and to provide your feedback. Study Area Project Overview About the Project Extending the planned Hurontario LRT from the Brampton Gateway Terminal at Steeles Avenue to the Brampton GO station is a key transit priority and city- building project for the City of Brampton. Much more than a way to get from A to B, this LRT project will play an important role in the long-term rapid transit network in Brampton and is essential for supporting the sustainable growth and evolution of the Downtown Core and Central Area. 4 Vision and Goals Vision Statement The LRT Extension will contribute to a safer and more integrated transportation system to serve the City of Brampton, encouraging civic sustainability, emphasizing transit use and other modes of transportation over traditional automobiles, and supporting the revitalization of Downtown Brampton into an aesthetically beautiful, place-making destination.

    APPENDIX EXHIBITS A - G - 17 - EXHIBIT A f1alton Region Transportation Master Plall "The Region in Motion" Final Report 2.0 STATE OF THE REGION The Region of Halton is located in the western edge of the Greater Toronto Area, encompassing a land area of approximately 967 square kilometres with a 25 kilometre frontage along Lake Ontario. The Region is comprised of four municipalities that vary in size, population, and character; they are the City of Burlington, the Town of Oakville, the Town of Halton Hills, and the Town of Milton. The City of Burlington and the Town of Oakville make up the urban area to the south of the Region, while the Town ofHalton Hills and Town ofMilton make up the largely rural area in the north end ofthe Region. 2.1 Year 2001 (Current) Conditions Population In 2001, the Region of Halton had a population of 375,229. The largest concentration of population in the Region is in Burlington and Oakville respectively, making up 79 percent of the population of Halton, while encompassing only 34 percent of the land area. Within these two municipalities, most of the population is concentrated south of Dundas Street. Within the Town of Halton Hills and Milton, the majority of the population is clustered around smaller urban areas, including urban Milton, Georgetown, and Acton. Between 1996 and 200 I, the Region of Halton grew in population by approximately 10 percent. The largest percent growth in the municipalities of Halton occurred in the Town of Halton Hills, which grew by 14 percent. The largest absolute growth occurred in the Town of Oakville, which grew by over 16,000 (or 13 percent).

    Understanding Factors Associated With Commuter Rail Ridership A Demand Elasticity Study of the GO Transit Rail Network by Aaron Shantz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Aaron Shantz 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Mode share in major North American cities is currently dominated by private automobile use. Planners have theorized that transitioning commuter rail systems to regional rail networks is a viable method to increase ridership and stabilize mode share. This process is currently underway in Ontario, Canada, as the amount and frequency of service is being increased throughout the GO Transit rail network via the GO Expansion Program. However, previous studies have shown that transit demand does not solely respond to service quantity expansions. Variables related to the built environment, regional economy, network characteristics, and socioeconomic status of the customer base can influence transit demand to varying degrees. Further, the literature states that the travel behavior of commuter rail users is unique, as access mode, distance, socioeconomic status, and the utility derived from varying trip types can differ compared to local transit users. These findings suggest that supplementary policies might be needed to reduce automobile reliance and stimulate demand for regional transit. Many transit researchers have conducted demand elasticity studies to identify what factors are significantly associated with transit ridership.

    A VISION FOR A NEW BRAMPTON TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Background 4 About Us 7 The Vision 10 Pillar 1 14 Pillar 2 18 Pillar 3 21 Pillar 4 25 Pillar 5 28 Support the Vision BACKGROUND NEW BRAMPTON BACKGROUND 1 BACKGROUND Since the late 1950’s until today, Brampton has grown from a small town of 5,000 people to a city-suburb of Toronto of more than 600,000 people. The infrastructure for many of the elements required for increased population has been provided through the planning approval process. At the same time, Brampton has experienced a substantial shift away from a manufacturing/assembly industrial base to a service based economy. In addition, Brampton does not currently have the infrastructure or inventory of office space to support a higher tech commercial base. As a result the City has per capita one of the most educated young populations in the country, it cannot provide the technological and ‘white collar” jobs its population demands. Brampton is an exporter of highly qualified personnel. Brampton is now the 9th largest City in Canada, by population. However, significant city- building elements have either been slow to follow growth or are not evident at all. Health care, inter-regional roads, higher order educational facilities, public rapid transit, office employment development, have all been a party to holding back Brampton’s evolution as a sophisticated and forward-developing city. For Brampton to perform correctly in its location and economic context, these elements have to be put in place in a timely way, or else time will pass it by.
