  • Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East
    IE14.12 ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East Date: June 24, 2020 To: Infrastructure and Environment Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Wards 13 and 14 SUMMARY On May 28, 2020, City Council adopted CC21.20 Cycling Network Plan Installations: Bloor West Bikeway Extension & ActiveTO Projects and requested Transportation Services to report to the July 9, 2020 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the status of previous requests to improve the bike lanes on Dundas Street East. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on these requests. Bicycle lanes on Dundas Street East have long provided a vital east/west cycling connection. In the 2001 Toronto Bike Plan, Dundas Street East was identified as a candidate for bicycle lanes from River Street to Kingston Road and in 2003, bicycle lanes were installed on the section of Dundas Street East from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road. The Dundas Street East bicycle lanes are connected to the protected bicycle lanes on Woodbine Avenue via contra-flow bicycle lanes on Dixon Avenue. Transportation Services has installed a number of safety improvements along Dundas Street East including pavement marking enhancements along the corridor and intersection improvements at Dundas Street East and Jones Avenue. In June 2020, as part of the ActiveTO program, temporary protected bicycle lanes (cycle tracks) were installed to extend the Dundas Street East bicycle lanes by 1 kilometre (km) from their end point just east of Broadview, west to Sackville Street to provide a safe connection through the Broadview intersection and over the Don Valley Parkway bridge.

This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

  • Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project
    9.8 Date: May 25, 2021 Originator’s files: To: Chair and Members of General Committee From: Geoff Wright, P.Eng, MBA, Commissioner of Meeting date: Transportation and Works June 9, 2021 Subject Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project Recommendation 1. That the report to General Committee entitled “Cross-Boundary Transit Service Integration Pilot Project” dated May 25, 2021 from the Commissioner of Transportation and Works be received for information. 2. That Phase 1 of the Service Integration Pilot Project recommendations for enhanced cross-boundary travel be received for information. Executive Summary The Ministry of Transportation has convened a Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table that includes representatives of all transit agencies and aims to improve connections and the customer experience for inter-municipal transit travel. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has engaged a consultant team to develop an agency-driven FSI model to present to the Provincial-Municipal Table in partnership with surrounding transit agencies including MiWay. Currently MiWay, along with several other 905 agencies, are prohibited from providing local service within City of Toronto, resulting in TTC providing duplicate service for their residents. In addition, transit fares are not integrated between the TTC and MiWay. In partnership with the TTC, the Burnhamthorpe Road corridor has been selected for a transit service integration pilot project in the near-term (targeting fall 2021). 9.8 General Committee 2021/05/25 2 Background For decades, transit service integration has been discussed and studied in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Ministry of Transportation’s newly convened Fare and Service Integration (FSI) Provincial-Municipal Table consists of senior representatives from transit systems within the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) and the broader GO Transit service area.
