The site contains a complex known historically as the Danforth Carhouse, which is currently owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It was developed beginning in 1914 by the Toronto Civic Railways (TCR), expanded by the Toronto Transportation Commission (forerunner to today's TTC) and the TTC and currently used as offices and staff facilities for TTC personnel. In 2015, City Council requested that the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue be researched and evaluated for inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. It has been identified for its potential cultural heritage value in the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (2018). It is the selected site for a police station consolidating 54 and 55 Divisions. The property at 1627 Danforth Avenue is part of a Master Plan study being undertaken by CreateTO to guide the redevelopment of the site as a multi-use civic hub for the Toronto Transit Commission, the Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Public Library as the key anchor tenants, which will incorporate and adaptively reuse the Danforth Carhouse. RECOMMENDATIONS The Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design City Planning recommends that: 1. City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning.

  • 125 Years of Toronto Streetcars
    125 YEARS OF TORONTO STREETCARS UPPER CANADA RAILWAY SOCIETY BOX 122 STATION "A" TORONTO, ONTARIO One of the Belgian streetcars which recently began running on a new line at the Grand Cypress Resort near Orlando, Florida. See article 'The End of an Era' in this issue. , --John Fleck Gulf Pulp & Paper Co. 0-6-0 38, on display at Mount Forest, Ont., after being bought by Christian Bell Porcelain. Further details in Feb. 1986 NEWSLETTER. Photo taken April 26, 1986. McCarten lP NFTA LRV 125 has been turned into the world's newest and fanciest 'streetcar diner' outside Hoak's Armor Inn, Hamburg, N.Y. The car was dropped and damaged irreparably while being deliverd to the NFTA shops in Buffalo; a replacement 125 was subsequently built and delivered and the '1st 125', which never turned a wheel in revenue service, was sold to this restaurant, probably for use as a cocktail lounge. July 28, 1986. McCarten SEPTEMBER 1986 3 Years of Urban Rail Transit in Tnronto On Sept. 11, 1986 we think back to the equivalent date in 1861, when Canada's first urban rail passenger service commenced operation: a horsecar service provided by the Toronto Street Railway Company. Mr. Alexander Easton of Philadelphia, a public transit entrepreneur of the day, obtained a 30-year franchise to operate animal powered streetcar service from the City of Toronto on March 26, 1861. The TSR was organized in May of that year with A. Easton as President and Alexander Bleekly and Daniel Smith as Directors. The franchise provided for service on at least a 30-minute headway, with the daily operating period to be 16 hours a day in summer and 14 hours a day in winter (the spring and fall seasons do not appear to have been recognized).

  • For Action TTC 15-Year Capital Investment Plan & 2020
    For Action TTC 15-Year Capital Investment Plan & 2020 – 2029 Capital Budget & Plan Date: December 16, 2019 To: TTC Board From: Interim Chief Financial Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to: 1. Provide the Board with an update on the Toronto Transit Commission’s Capital Investment Plan as it relates to the recommended 10-year Capital Budget and Plan (2020-2029) and 15-year Outlook (2020-2034); and 2. Seek approval for the staff-recommended 2020-2029 TTC Capital Budget and Plan to provide funding for the acquisition, renewal and improvements of TTC’s assets that supports Toronto’s transit service delivery. Last year, the TTC introduced a 15-year Capital Investment Plan (CIP), entitled “Making Headway - Capital Investments to Keep Transit Moving 2019-2033”. This report provided a comprehensive review of all state-of good repair needs and capital requirements to support the Commission’s asset lifecycle replacement and ridership growth. The outcome of this review resulted in a base capital investment requirement totalling $33.5 billion over a 15-year period (2019 to 2033 inclusively) of which $23.7 billion was unfunded due to limited sources of funding. The report acknowledged that further work is to be undertaken to refine estimates, schedule and assess critical needs within the framework of the Capital Investment Model. As directed by the Board and City Council, the CIP has been updated and further refined and now totals $36.1 billion (between 2020 and 2034), of which, approximately $27 billion is required between 2020-2029. For the 2020 Budget process, additional work has been undertaken to provide new information regarding the asset age, condition and potential implications of deferred funding.
