Creating Connections in Burlington CREATING CONNECTIONS IN THE CITY OF BURLINGTON PETER ZUK, CHIEF CAPITAL OFFICER, METROLINX LESLIE WOO, CHIEF PLANNING OFFICER, METROLINX BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 30, 2017 CONGESTION COSTS OUR ECONOMY • The average commute in the GTHA is up to 60 minutes. That means the average commuter spends nearly an extra work day a week sitting in their car, stuck in traffic. Congestion is costing the GTHA between $6 BILLION - $11 BILLION A YEAR in lost economic activity. 2 METROLINX CAPITAL PROJECTS GROUP: FOCUS ON THE BUILD PLAN BUILD • Design • Environmental Assessment • Property Acquisition OPERATE • Procurement process • Contract Award • Construction 3 WHAT WE ARE BUILDING METROLINX PLANNED CAPITAL SPEND ASSETS TODAY OVER 10 YEAR PROGRAM $19.5 Billion* over $43 Billion** *March 2017, Audited **Metrolinx 17/18 Business Plan 4 Concrete Ties on the Stouffville Corridor, August 2017. AN INTEGRATED NETWORK 5 RER AND RT – NO SMALL TASK 6 GO RAIL EXPANSION 150 kilometers of new dedicated GO track will allow for more uninterrupted service New electric trains will travel faster for longer and reduce travel times Bridges and tunnels that eliminate intersections with rail and road traffic will provide more reliable GO train service New and improved stations will make your journey more comfortable, from start to finish New electrified rail infrastructure will allow Metrolinx to deliver faster, more frequent service 7 INFRASTRUCTURE 8 RER: NEW AND IMPROVED GO STATIONS As part of the RER Program, Metrolinx will modify and improve a large number of existing stations, build 12 new GO stations on the existing network, and 7 new stations on extensions. Amongst the new stations being constructed, 6 are identified Smart Track stations in the city of Toronto. There are three existing stations in the City of Burlington. Burlington Transit is key to these 3 stations - and critical to balancing mode split in future, and reducing our reliance on drive- and-park to access GO services. We are working closely to integrate services and provide connectivity. 9 BURLINGTON GO STATION Burlington connects with 16 Burlington Transit and 1 GO bus route, including connections with Niagara Region and Park-and-ride facility on the 407. Improvements substantially completed as of Sept. 2017: • enhanced south bus loop • improved accessibility. • south side ticket booth and east tunnel. • roof and zinc shell installed, minor corrections needed. • completed PRESTO work. • parking structure: snowmelt system on ramp has been repaired. 10 ALDERSHOT GO STATION AND PARKING EXPANSION Aldershot connects with 2 Burlington Transit, 1 Hamilton Street Railway and 2 GO bus routes including frequent connections with McMaster, downtown Hamilton and Brantford. • Station Project Scope: • Station building modifications and rehabilitation • Parking expansion (2 Phases) • New Kiss & Ride • Bus Shelter • Stormwater management • North bus loop modification • Adding a para-trans bus bay Parking Expansion: • Platform rehabilitation, including • 450-500 spaces proposed as close to the corridor as possible snowmelt system • Linear configuration from Masonry Court in the East to • Two new elevators Waterdown Road in the west • Removal of existing escalators (end of • Completing design work prior to tender life-cycle) • August 2017 received approval for enabling works • Requires large culvert under Waterdown Road and flood storage pond 11 DRURY LANE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE • Working with City staff on replacing Drury Lane pedestrian bridge in order to protect for future electrification infrastructure. • Currently in the Environmental Assessment phase.

  • (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.

  • Appendix a Burlington Transit Business Plan Update.Docx
    Appendix A: Transit’s Five-Year Business Plan Update Report: TR-03-19 This is a summary of the Burlington Transit Five-Year Business Plan peer review, vision and growth plan initiatives. The Business Plan document will be based on the details in this summary, with a focus on the implementation of the growth plan initiatives, including their phasing and financial impacts. Dillon Consulting requests the City of Burlington Council provide feedback on these sections, so that any changes may be incorporated into the final Business Plan. 1. Introduction The 2020 – 2024 Burlington Transit Business Plan will guide the implementation of transit service improvements over the next five years. The Business Plan starts with a policy framework that defines a clear direction for Burlington Transit, and clear steps on how to get there. Burlington Transit is working on a vision statement that will be part of the final Five-Year Business Plan. It is important to note that a Business Plan does not provide details service or operational planning. The primary purpose of the plan is to ensure individual strategies, projects and activities are aligned and contributing to the Burlington Transit’s vision and policy objectives. This includes prioritizing and staging key decisions to fit within the City’s financial guidelines. The Business Plan is also an important communication tool for Burlington Transit that will clearly set out steps required to move towards the long-term direction of the City. Over the next five-years, the Business Plan will form the guiding document in which all other operational decisions and financial budgets should be built around.

Report dated February 16, 2018 from the Commissioner of Transportation now follows: 1. Recommendations It is recommended this report be received for information. 2. Purpose This report provides Council with 2017 York Region Transit (YRT) ridership and overall system performance information. 3. Background Transit measures service performance in a number of ways. Revenue and operating data is generated through a variety of software that is gathered into a business intelligence system. Reports are generated and used by staff to monitor system-wide performance, as well as making operational and financial decisions. Staff also monitors service in real-time to manage the day-to-day operation. The most common service performance measures used by the transit industry include: Committee of the Whole 1 Transportation Services March 1, 2018 2017 Transit System Performance Update • Revenue ridership - the number of paying travellers using the service. • Net cost per passenger – net cost to operate a route divided by the number of travellers • On-time performance – the reliability of the service provided to the traveller. This is a key indicator for the overall success of the Operation and Maintenance contracts • Revenue-to-cost ratio – revenue collected through transit fares compared to the cost to operate service 4.
