Environmental Planner Report Reviewed By: Marc Rose, MES Project Manager and Senior Environmental Planner Rpt_2018-04-20_Damr_Final Esr_60306466 City of Toronto Downsview Major Roads Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Environmental Study Report Executive Summary Introduction and Project Background A Transportation Master Plan (2010) was developed as part of the Downsview Area Secondary Plan (DASP) to assess and identify the transportation infrastructure requirements necessary to support growth and development within the DASP (TMP, 2010), fulfilling Phase 1 and 2 requirements of the MCEA process. In 2014, the City of Toronto (the City) initiated a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study for selected major roads within the Downsview Area Secondary Plan (DASP), located in the City of Toronto, Ontario. The study was carried out in accordance with the Municipal Engineers Association’s (MEA) Five Phase MCEA process (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015) which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (Ontario EA Act). AECOM Canada Limited (AECOM) was retained by the City of Toronto to undertake Phases 3 and 4 of the MCEA process and fulfil the EA requirements for Schedule C projects. Study Area The Study Area for the Project includes a 1.2 km long westerly extension of Transit Road across Sheppard Avenue West to Keele Street; a 2.3 km long northerly extension of Transit Road, which provides a connection to Chesswood Drive / Sheppard Avenue West; and completion of the planning for Perimeter Road to run south from the future east-west section of Transit Road, connecting with Keele Street via Downsview Park Boulevard, which is being built as part of the Stanley Greene Neighbourhood. A map of the Study Area is shown in Figure E-1 below. Figure E-1: Study Area Rpt_2018-04-20_Damr_Final Esr_60306466 v City of Toronto Downsview Major Roads Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Environmental Study Report The main land uses within the Study Area include recreation facilities (indoor / outdoor facilities including parks and open space), stand-alone commercial / retail features, educational / childcare facilities, Downsview Airport and government buildings. There are a number of residential areas near the Study Area which include the neighbourhoods of Bathurst Manor, Clanton Park, Downsview-Roding CFB, Glenfield-Jane Heights, York University Heights and the recently occupied Stanley Greene neighbourhood. The dominant property owners within the Study Area include Canada Lands Company (CLC), Bombardier Aerospace, City of Toronto, the Department of National Defence (DND), Metrolinx / GO Transit and Build Toronto. Class EA Phase 1 and 2 Overview Downsview Area Secondary Plan The current DASP is included in Part 7 of Chapter 6 of the City of Toronto Official Plan (OP). The DASP area is approximately 530 hectares (ha) (1,309 acres) in area and encompasses lands generally bound by Wilson Avenue between Keele Street and Wilson Heights Boulevard, south of Sheppard Avenue West. A review and update of the DASP was conducted by City Staff in May 2008. The review and update was an opportunity for the City to reassess the existing 1999 Secondary Plan in the context of the City’s planning goals and objectives and to ensure that the planning policies for the area are current and appropriate to guide future development. The outcome of this review was the City Planning Final Report, completed on March 4, 2011, which recommended that Council replace the 1999 Downsview Area Secondary Plan with an updated Secondary Plan. The plan review emphasized the creation of a major national urban park and mixed urban land use which would be supported by a comprehensive transportation network, and intensified land use near the new TTC and Metrolinx / GO Transit Sheppard West transit terminal. Transportation Master Plan As part of the DASP review, a TMP update (MCEA Phase 1 and 2) was undertaken to assess and identify the transportation infrastructure requirements necessary to support current and future growth and development within the DASP area. An overview of the results of Phases 1 and 2 is provided below. Phase 1 – Problem and Opportunity Statement The Problem and Opportunity Statement, from the TMP is as follows: “The Spadina Subway Extension, a new TTC subway station and GO Transit station, along with a renewed development vision proposed by Parc Downsview Park Inc., have created an opportunity to reconsider the approved Transportation Master Plan. In support of an updated Downsview Area Secondary Plan,

  • Scarborough Civic Centre Branch Library Project Enhancement Options
    Anne Bailey Director, Branch Libraries Toronto Public Library www.torontopubliclibrary.ca ________________________________________________________________ BRIEFING NOTE – Poverty Reduction Initiatives at Toronto Public Library _____________________________________________________________ Toronto Public Library has developed two initiatives for the City’s poverty reduction strategy in 2015, the Library Access – Fines Forgiveness program and Youth Hubs. What is the Library Access - Fine Forgiveness program? Library Access - Fine Forgiveness is a program to reinstate full library services and borrowing for children and youth at library branches in poverty areas by forgiving outstanding fines starting second quarter 2015, making summer reading programs, collections and after school programs fully accessible to the target audience. Children and youth registered at the 31 library branches and bookmobile stops delivering services to the Toronto Strong Neighbourhood Stratey (TSNS) 2020 neighbourhood improvement areas, whose library privileges are suspended, will be contacted and offered a forgiveness coupon so that full privileges are restored upon presentation of the coupon at the TSNS branch (Attachments 1 and 2). The program will be implemented in two phases. First, in spring 2015 the library will reach out to these children and teens to reinstate their privileges and invite them to join the summer reading club and participate in summer programs at their local branch. Second, in the fall as the school year gets underway, the Library will reach out again to children and teens registered at the TSNS branches with suspended cards, to reinstate their privileges and invite them back to the library. After school programs, reading support programs, collections, computer access and study spaces will be promoted. This campaign can be readily implemented and the outcomes will be tracked by branch.
