  • 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.

  • Attachment 4 – Assessment of Ontario Line
    EX9.1 Attachment 4 – Assessment of Ontario Line As directed by City Council in April 2019, City and TTC staff have assessed the Province’s proposed Ontario Line. The details of this assessment are provided in this attachment. 1. Project Summary 1.1. Project Description The Ontario Line was included as part of the 2019 Ontario Budget1 as a transit project that will cover similar study areas as the Relief Line South and North, as well as a western extension. The proposed project is a 15.5-kilometre higher-order transit line with 15 stations, connecting from Exhibition GO station to Line 5 at Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East, near the Science Centre station, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Ontario Line Proposal (source: Metrolinx IBC) Since April 2019, technical working groups comprising staff from the City, TTC, Metrolinx, Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Transportation met regularly to understand alignment and station location options being considered for the Ontario 1 http://budget.ontario.ca/2019/contents.html Attachment 4 - Assessment of Ontario Line Page 1 of 20 Line. Discussions also considered fleet requirements, infrastructure design criteria, and travel demand modelling. Metrolinx prepared an Initial Business Case (IBC) that was publicly posted on July 25, 2019.2 The IBC compared the Ontario Line and Relief Line South projects against a Business As Usual scenario. The general findings by Metrolinx were that "both Relief Line South and Ontario Line offer significant improvements compared to a Business As Usual scenario, generating $3.4 billion and $7.4 billion worth of economic benefits, respectively.

Findings will be presented in the Preliminary Design Business Case, which we are aiming to complete by summer 2020.By using the GO corridor and building bridges across the Don River instead of tunneling underneath it, a route that is approximately twice the length of the Relief Line South can be built at a similar cost. Also, using the GO corridor will allow people to more easily connect between GO and TTC services that will both be accessible by street level, saving time compared to connections that would lead people into deep underground stations.

  • 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.

  • Mobility Hubs December 2008
    Mobility Hubs December 2008 1. Introduction This is one in a series of backgrounders that have been produced by Metrolinx to provide further explanation and clarification on the policies and directions of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP is available for downloading at www.metrolinx.com. This backgrounder should be read as an accompaniment to Strategy 7 of the RTP. It is intended to provide additional detail on the mobility hub policies of the RTP and clarification of the terms and definitions used in the RTP with respect to mobility hubs. Metrolinx wishes to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of Urban Strategies Inc. and IBI Group to the preparation of this backgrounder. 2. What is a Mobility Hub? The mobility hub policies of the RTP build on the overall policy framework established in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, particularly those related to major transit station areas. The Growth Plan defines major transit station areas as the area within a 500m radius (10 minute walk) of any existing or planned higher order transit station within a settlement area or around a major bus depot in an urban core. Major transit station areas that are particularly significant for the regional rapid transit system are recognized as mobility hubs in the RTP. Mobility hubs are major transit station areas with significant levels of transit service planned for them in the RTP, high development potential, and a critical function in the regional transportation system as major trip generators. They are places of connectivity where different modes of transportation — from walking to high- speed rail — come together seamlessly and where there is an intensive concentration of employment, living, shopping and/or recreation.

    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.

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).

  • Toronto Transit Commission Report No
    Revised: March/13 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. MEETING DATE: March 26, 2014 SUBJECT: TTC COMMUNITY RELATIONS ANNUAL REPORT INFORMATION ITEM RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board receive this report for information. FUNDING The recommendation of this report does not have any financial impact. BACKGROUND At its meeting of February 25, 2013, the Board adopted a Construction Projects Community Relations Management Plan and TTC Good Neighbour Policy for Construction Projects. Attached is the annual Community Relations report for 2013. DISCUSSION Community Relations efforts in 2013 focused on pro-active outreach for major capital projects including: Leslie Barns, New Second Exits Expert Advisory Panel, Coxwell Station Easier Access, Woodbine Station Easier Access, Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension, Pape Station Modernization, Dufferin Station Modernization, Ossington Station Easier Access, and Lawrence Station Fire Vents and other projects that are in the planning phase. The community outreach on major TTC construction projects has ensured that community questions, concerns, and recommendations are clearly identified, evaluated and responded to throughout planning, design and construction. The Community Relations team is a bridge between communities, TTC construction staff and contractors. By building early understanding and trust, and working diligently to incorporate community feedback and resolve concerns, the TTC can build projects more effectively with community support. This is especially important given that major projects with long term benefits may cause major inconvenience to our neighbours and customers during construction.

  • Assessment of Provincial Proposals Line 2 East Extension
    EX9.1 Attachment 5 – Assessment of Provincial Proposals Line 2 East Extension As directed by City Council in April 2019, City and TTC staff have assessed the Province’s proposed 3-stop Line 2 East Extension. The details of this assessment are provided in this attachment. 1. Project Summary 1.1 Project Description The Line 2 East Extension (L2EE), as proposed by the Province, is an approximately 8 kilometre underground extension of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth from Kennedy Station that will have three stations – at Lawrence and McCowan, Scarborough Centre and Sheppard and McCowan, as shown in Figure 1. The Province's plan for the L2EE is similar to what was being planned by the City and TTC prior to 2016. Figure 1 - Line 2 East Extension Reference Map Note: Map produced by City/TTC based on current understanding of project Attachment 5 – Assessment of Line 2 East Extension Page 1 of 9 As proposed, the extension will be fully integrated with the existing Line 2 and have through service at Kennedy Station. A turn-back may be included east of Kennedy Station to enable reduced service to Scarborough Centre, subject to demand and service standards. The extension will require approximately seven additional six-car, 138-metre-long trains to provide the service. The trains would be interoperable with the other trains on Line 2. With the station at Sheppard and McCowan supporting storage of up to six trains, there is sufficient storage and maintenance capacity existing at the TTC’s Line 2 storage and maintenance facilities to accommodate this increase in fleet size.

  • Second Exit Program Automatic Entrance at Five Stations
    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.
