Draft Delineations for the Protected Major Transit Station Areas Within the Downtown Secondary Plan and Draft Citywide MTSA Policy Directions
REPORT FOR ACTION Draft Delineations for the Protected Major Transit Station Areas within the Downtown Secondary Plan and Draft Citywide MTSA Policy Directions Date: March 30, 2021 To: Planning and Housing Committee From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Wards: Ward 10 - Spadina-Fort York; Ward 11 - University Rosedale and Ward 13 - Toronto Centre SUMMARY In June 2020, City Planning initiated the Growth Plan Conformity and Municipal Comprehensive Review ("the MCR") which includes the delineation of 180+ Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs) to meet Provincial intensification requirements by July 2022. The introduction of Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSAs) is part of the MCR. An equity lens is being applied to this work program that prioritizes the delineation of PMTSAs to enable the implementation of inclusionary zoning as an affordable housing tool, where market conditions could support it. This report presents the policy approach for advancing the implementation of Major Transit Station Areas and Protected Major Transit Station Areas, and the proposed delineations within the Downtown Secondary Plan. This report is intended as the basis for consultation of the draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA) that includes 16 Site and Area Specific Policies (SASPs) that delineate Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSAs) within the Downtown Secondary Plan area. The draft policy directions for the introduction of a new Chapter 8 of the Official Plan will be refined following consultation and brought forward as part of the final Official Plan Amendment. The 16 PMTSA delineations included in this draft OPA would implement the Minister approved Downtown Plan and address the requirements of the A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) (the "Growth Plan") and Section 16(15) of the Planning Act. -
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). -

Form Revised: February 2005 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. MEETING DATE: May 28, 2009 SUBJECT: FIRE VENTILATION UPGRADE SECOND EXIT PROGRAM AUTOMATIC ENTRANCE AT FIVE STATIONS ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Commission authorize staff to convert the conceptual layouts of second exits from a daily exit configuration to an automatic entrance configuration at five stations: College, Museum, Dundas, Dundas West and Wellesley, as outlined in this report. FUNDING Funds for the Second Exit Program are included in Program 3.9 – Buildings and Structures – Fire Ventilation Upgrade Project, as set out in pages 781-792, State of Good Repair/Safety Category of the TTC’s 2009-2013 Capital Program, which was approved by City Council on December 10, 2008. Reconfiguration of the second exits to automatic entrances will require additional funds based on specific site conditions. The increase in cost will be reflected in the 2010-2014 Capital Program Budget. BACKGROUND A Fire and Life Safety Assessment Study completed in 2002 identified fourteen high priority stations requiring an alternate means of egress from the station platform. Subsequently, the Second Exit Program was incorporated into the Fire Ventilation Upgrade Project to provide a second means of egress from station platforms at the following fourteen high priority stations: Broadview; Castle Frank; Pape; Dufferin; College; Museum; Wellesley; Dundas; Dundas West; Woodbine; Chester; Donlands; Greenwood; and Summerhill.

RE'01 Guide to Toronto
A Requirements Engineer’s Guide to Toronto Dave Wortman Department of Computer Science University of Toronto [email protected] This document is a brief visitors guide to Toronto for attendees of the Requirements 01 Conference. It is intended as a local supplement to the various official Toronto guides that the attendees will receive. Getting Around Toronto Walking Toronto is generally a clean, safe city. It is entirely practical to walk to many of the locations mentioned in this guide. TTC The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a network of subways, busses and streetcars that provide con- venient transportation throughout Toronto. There are two major subway lines. The Yonge/University/Spadina line is a U-shaped loop that runs under Yonge Street and University Avenue in the downtown area. There are subway stations where major cross streets intersect Yonge St. and University Ave. The subway stations closest to the Royal York Hotel are in Union Station, at King and University and at King and Yonge. The Bloor/Danforth line runs east/west underneath Bloor Street. There are free interchanges between these two subway lines at the Yonge/Bloor station and at the St. George station and the Spadina station. Street car or bus lines run east and west on major streets. There are two TTC streetcar lines that start in Union Station. The Harborfront 509 line runs through the Harbor Front area along Queens Quay to the CNE grounds. The Spadina 510 line runs along Queens Quay and then north along Spadina Ave to Bloor St. The Bay bus that runs north and south on Bay St is a convenient way to reach many of the places described in this guide. -

The opening ceremonies, originally scheduled for Friday, March 1st., but moved ahead one day in order to accommodate Provincial officials who were to attend, took place at 11:15 a.m. at St. George Station, the northern terminal of the new line. The ceremonies were delayed for fifteen minutes from the planned 11:00 a.m. by virtue of the late arrival of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario, J. Keiller MacKay. Brief speeches by Mayor Donald Summerville of the City of Toronto, Premier John Robarts of the Province of Ontario, and William Allen, Chairman of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto were followed by a symbolic throwing of a switch by the Ontario Premier, changing a red track signal to green. This act officially opened the University Avenue subway for revenue operation. Subway trains had been spotted in positions along the University line in order that regular service could be commenced immediately following the departure of the first train, a “V.I.P.” special, southward from St. -

Financial Summary COVID-19 Impact and Relief Funding The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major financial impact on the TTC, which totalled $751.9 million in 2020, before accounting for cost containment savings. After taking cost containment savings into account, the net impact net is $590.2 million prior to the application provincial relief funding. The 2020 shortfall will be fully offset by funding from the provincial and federal governments, primarily through the Safe Restart Agreement (SRA), which recognizes the financial burden of the pandemic and is designed to address financial pressures resulting from reduced revenue and new expenses resulting from COVID-19. Through the SRA, a total of $1.312 billion has been made available to the TTC to support operating budget shortfalls due to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021. -
