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.

Transit is the talk of the region these days and Edward J. Levy’s web-book Rapid Transit in Toronto: A Century of Plans, Progress, Politics and Paralysis is a timely body of work that provides useful historical lessons and insights as today’s politicians, planners and citizens discuss ways to tackle gridlock and congestion. The web-book published in collaboration with The Neptis Foundation is a treasure trove of rare, historical maps and plans dating back to the early 20th century which tracks numerous but unsuccessful attempts to build a rapid transit network that placed Toronto at the centre of a vast, interconnected region. Levy says there has never been a shortage of creative and robust rapid transit plans which, had they come to fruition, might have created the integrated network Toronto never built and now needs more than ever. Instead the history of attempts to build a rapid transit network in Toronto has been a sad story of financial and political compromise. Many of these plans contained the concept of a U-shaped subway line extending east and west of the city core, the long sought “network builder” that would have allowed Toronto’s skeletal subway system to become a true network offering several well distributed and integrated interchanges, built-in redundancies in the case of train breakdown, area-wide connectivity and operating flexibility for the benefit of the majority of riders across the city and region. In the postscript to his book: Completing the Regional Connection, Levy argues that the rebirth of regionalism with the creation of Metrolinx and the Province of Ontario’s “Places to Grow” plan for south/central Ontario provides the backdrop to what should be our next grand in-city subway building exercise. 7 Introduction levyrapidtransit.ca In doing so the Greater Toronto Region must learn from its history and do it right, said Levy. His solution is the Regional Relief Line which builds on the idea of the proposed but very limited Downtown Relief Line, and places it squarely in a regional context, showing how a series of modifications would reduce congestion across the region, and allow a 50-year discussion about the integration of GO Transit and the TTC to become a reality. “It is crucial that the tiresome downtown-suburban dichotomy over such projects be expunged from the discussion because this line could become the ultimate network builder, linking TTC and GO Transit services, thereby serving the whole region,” s aid Levy. Rapid Transit in Toronto will be released on March 19, 2013. Copyright © 2013 Edward J. Levy, Rapid Transit in Toronto. All Right Reserved. 8 Introduction levyrapidtransit.ca EDWARD J. LEVY The author of this 100-year history of rapid transit in Toronto developed his interest in the subject over more than 50 years of work in transportation planning, traffic engineering, design consulting, and advising government agencies on transportation policy and infrastructure expansion needs, with an emphasis on public transit. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1957 with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Civil Engineering, and working with several major consulting engineering and planning firms in Canada and the United States, he co-founded Barton- Aschman Canada Limited (later BA Consulting Group Limited) in 1973.

  • Roads & Bridges Subgroup Report

    Roads & Bridges Subgroup Report

    Roads and Bridges Subgroup Final Report Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review (PMFSDR) Roads and Bridges Subgroup November 8, 2007 Executive Summary (1 of 2) The Roads and Bridges subgroup was struck by the Infrastructure Table to identify an appropriate and desirable division of responsibility for roads and bridges among Ontario’s orders of government. Municipalities have responsibility for approximately 13,000 bridges and large culverts, and approximately 142,000 two-lane equivalent kilometres of roads. – In 2005, the Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA) estimated current road and bridge rehabilitation needs at over $1.8 billion. The subgroup believes that the Province should assist its municipal partners to maintain those roads and bridges where: – The Province shares an interest, and where – The municipal ability to pay for capital improvements is insufficient. 2 Executive Summary (2 of 2) The subgroup recommends that the Province: – Form a provincial-municipal study group to stratify Ontario’s road and bridge network into segments of municipal, provincial, and of shared interest; – Identify, using objective criteria, those municipalities with insufficient resources to maintain adequate levels of investment in roads and bridges; and – Develop and deliver an appropriate, sustainable, and predictable means of assisting municipalities with the upkeep of roads and bridges (e.g. through the provincial gas tax, or other means). This response should be weighted so as to provide extra assistance to those municipalities that lack the ability to pay for road and bridge maintenance. – The response could also be weighted to advance other provincial policy goals. 3 Mandate of the Subgroup Terms of Reference The key objective of the subgroup is to develop a policy rationale for identifying an appropriate and desirable division of responsibilities for roads and bridges between the Province and municipalities of Ontario, and to provide advice on this issue for the consideration of the Infrastructure Table.
