  • (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.

  • The Regional Municipality of York
    Report No. 6 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee Regional Council Meeting of September 24, 2009 2 RICHMOND HILL GO RAIL LINE EXTENSION The Planning and Economic Development Committee recommends the adoption of the recommendations contained in the following report dated August 26, 2009, from the Commissioner of Planning and Development Services. 1. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that: 1. Regional Council endorse the recommendations of the Richmond Hill Layover Facility Environmental Assessment (EA) and Preliminary Design study. 2. The Regional Clerk forward a copy of this report to the Clerks of the Towns of Richmond Hill, Aurora, and Whitchurch-Stouffville, and GO Transit and the Ministry of Transportation. 2. PURPOSE This report seeks Regional Council endorsement of GO Transit’s recommendations on the Richmond Hill Layover Facility Environmental Assessment (EA) and Preliminary Design study. 3. BACKGROUND Richmond Hill GO Rail Line has experienced significant growth and requires capacity improvements Between 1996 and 2001, growth within the Richmond Hill GO Transit Rail Corridor has been significant with the average ridership growing about 10% per year. From 1991 to 2006, the Town of Richmond Hill’s population alone more than doubled and it is expected that ridership will continue to increase as York Region’s projected population contributes to the need for expanded GO Rail service. Various Environmental Assessment (EA) and planning studies have been conducted between 1993 and 2002 to examine the potential for GO service expansion. In 2007, the Province announced MoveOntario 2020 which provided an action plan to build new and improved rapid transit in the GTA and Hamilton area.
