  • Integrating Transportation and Land Use Planning at the Metropolitan Level in North America 185
    Integrating transportation and land use planning at the metropolitan level in North America: multilevel governance in Toronto and Chicago Integrando o planejamento de transporte e de uso do solo em escala metropolitana na América do Norte: governança multinível em Toronto e Chicago Fanny R. Tremblay-Racicot[a], Jean Mercier[b] Licenciado sob uma Licença Creative Commons DOI: 10.7213/urbe.06.002.SE04 ISSN 2175-3369 [a] Ph.D candidate in Urban Studies at Department of Geography and Urban Studies, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA - United States, e-mail: [email protected] [b] Ph.D in public administration (SU), professor at Université Laval, Québec, QC - Canada, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article compares the policies and processes by which transportation and land use planning are integra- ted in metropolitan Toronto, Canada, and Chicago, in the United States. Using twenty-four semi-structured interviews with key informants, it describes the array of interventions undertaken by governmental and non-governmental actors in their respective domains to shed light on how the challenge of integrating trans- portation and land use planning is addressed on both sides of the border. Evidence concerning the political dynamics in Toronto and Chicago demonstrates that the capacity of metropolitan institutions to adopt and implement plans that integrate transportation with land use fundamentally depends on the leadership of the province or the state government. Although the federal government of each nation can bypass the sub-national level and intervene in local affairs by funding transportation projects that include land use components, its capacity to promote a coherent metropolitan vision is inherently limited.

Service volunteers are welcomed and valued in every community, and their service to the organization is invaluable. Our volunteers serve as the first point of contact between the community and the Service. They make an impact and strengthen ties in our communities, they serve to enhance the delivery of police services, and assist in numerous community engagement initiatives and programs. The Mission Statement of the Toronto Police Service Volunteer Program is; “To create meaningful partnerships through trust, understanding, shared knowledge, effective community engagement and to maintain safety and security in our communities.” Connected by Commitment Revised November 2020 2 3 MESSAGE FROM THE TORONTO POLICE SERVICES BOARD On behalf of the Toronto Police Services Board, I would like to extend our deep and sincere appreciation to all of our volunteers for giving your time, energy, and dedication to the Toronto Police Service and to all of the communities that make up the City of Toronto. The Toronto Police Service is recognized as outstanding model in the policing community in the way in which it consults with its communities. The Board is extremely proud of this achievement and is committed to continuously working to ensure that we remain a progressive leader in this vital area. Strong and meaningful partnership with the community is an essential component of the Board’s emphasis on community policing. Indeed, The Way Forward, the Transformational Task Force’s action plan report, charts an approach to policing that is founded on embracing partnerships to create safe communities.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

August 17, 2006 City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services 100 Queen Street West, 2nd Floor Toronto, Ontario M5H 2N2 Dear Brian Gallaugher: This study was undertaken for the Toronto Island Community Association with funding assistance provided by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division. It builds on the ideas and policy initiatives of the Island Principles drafted in 2002 by a group of the Toronto Island residents and City staff. The tangible and intangible attributes of Toronto Island constitute a significant landscape of historical and cultural value. This study recommends that a framework of a cultural heritage landscape be established as the most appropriate method for recognizing and maintaining this cultural resource for the City of Toronto. Under the Planning Act, the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement defines a cultural landscape as: a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human activities and is valued by a community. It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites and natural elements, which together form a significant type of heritage form, distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts .. Currently, the only mechanism the City of Toronto has For the protection of this type of resource is through the application of a Heritage Conservation District under the Ontario Heritage Act.
