  • Another Beautiful Day for Toronto Club's
    Summer 2018 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LV No. 2 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Another Beautiful day for Toronto Club’s AGM Saturday, April 21, 2018 More than 150 members of our club turned out on Saturday for our Annual Meeting, held once again at the beautiful Kortright Centre on a spectacular spring day. The day started with three vigorous hikes led by Barbara Euler, Wayne Crockett and Luisa Lee, and a photography hike led by Bob Humphreys. Following lunch the business of the meeting began. I had the pleasure of reporting on another excellent year for the club, with another year of excellent work by our volunteers across all our areas of activity. The full annual report is available for download on the members’ section of our website. Our new Treasurer, Karim Mishriki, reported on solid financial results for the club. The most important number to me in our annual report is the over $23 thousand our club was able to donate the BTC this year to further our important land acquisition work. Two new directors were elected: David Royle, a well-known hike leader, and Orest Nahacziwec, who has volunteered to take over the editing of Footnotes magazine. In addition, we are welcoming back Kevin Warburton to the Board after a vacation. Congratulations to them all, we look forward to their valuable contributions going forward. During the last year, we reluctantly accepted the resignations from the board of Brenda Brazier, Paul Vanhanen and Wayne Crockett. The valuable contributions of all these three will all be missed; fortunately, Paul and Wayne remain heavily involved as volunteers in our Land Management Committee and hiking program, respectively.

  • Results of the King Street Transit Pilot
    For Action Results of the King Street Transit Pilot Date: April 11, 2019 To: TTC Board From: Chief Customer Officer Summary The King Street Transit Pilot began on November 12, 2017 providing greater priority for the TTC’s King streetcar customers between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street over the past year and a half. From a transit perspective, the pilot project is a success: Faster and more predictable transit travel times: On average, streetcars now travel faster during all periods of the day and times are more predictable, making the service more attractive. Approximately 30,000 minutes of travel time are saved by King streetcar customers daily. More people taking transit along the King Street corridor: With more predictable travel, more people are taking King streetcars than ever, with daily weekday ridership growing by 16% from 72,000 to 84,000 boardings per day. Capacity grew on King Street through the pilot project to meet unprecedented increases in demand. Greater customer satisfaction with King streetcar service: Prior to the pilot, overall customer satisfaction with King streetcar service was low on key measures such as travel time, comfort, and wait time. Through the pilot period, customer satisfaction on all these measures has significantly improved. Improved efficiency and reliability of streetcar operations: Streetcar service on King Street is now more productive, with 25% more customers per hour of service operated. Overall reliability has improved with reduced variability in the busiest portion of the route. TTC and City staff recommend that the pilot project be made permanent as the King Street Transit Priority Corridor with immediate enhancements to the pilot design, such as improvements to streetcar stops and improved signage at intersections.

  • Solving the Issue of Streetcars Blocking Traffic at King/Yonge Junbo Liang, University of Toronto
    Solving the Issue of Streetcars Blocking Traffic at King/Yonge Junbo Liang, University of Toronto 1.0 Introduction Observation revealed that at the intersection of King Street and Yonge Street, streetcars blocked traffic seriously during green lights. To solve the problem, this report provides and evaluates two solutions, namely, streetcar platforms and Transit Signal Priority System. By comparing and analyzing, the superior solution, Transit Signal Priority System, is recommended in this report. 2.0 Problem Statement This section identifies the current situation, experienced problem at the intersection, and defines the engineering problem and three criteria. 2.1 Current Situation, Experienced Problem and Engineering Problem The intersection of King Street at Yonge Street is located in the Downtown Toronto core, surrounded by numerous office buildings (Liang, 2016). Both streets are busy thoroughfares in Toronto with 4 lanes (2 lanes for each direction) at the intersection. Streetcar tracks located in the left lanes on both directions of King Street are currently in service (Liang, 2016). King/Yonge station, located at the intersection, connects the busiest subway and streetcar lines in Toronto (i.e. Yonge Subway Line, 504 King, 514 Cherry) (City of Toronto, 2014; Toronto Transit Commission, n.d.). Two of the five subway entrances are located on the northeast and southwest corners of the intersection next to existing streetcar stations (Toronto Transit Commission, n.d.). (See Appendix A for intersection layout.) A 1.5-hour site visit at 6PM Sept. 16th, 2016 revealed that the streetcars blocked traffic seriously at the intersection while loading passengers when the traffic signals in their heading direction were green (Liang, 2016).

  • TO-Sidewalk-Labs-Vision-Sections-Of-RFP-Submission-Sm.Pdf
    October 17, 2017 Since its inception, Sidewalk Labs has been conducting a thought experiment with leading urbanists and technologists about what the city of the future might look like— and scouring the globe for a place to bring it to life. In March 2017, Waterfront Toronto issued Request for Proposals No. 2017-13, a call for an innovation and funding partner for Toronto’s Eastern Waterfront. After all of our searching, we knew this was the perfect place, and the perfect partner. Our response to Waterfront Toronto’s RFP represented a snapshot in time of our ideas about how to create a place that deployed emerging technology and people-first design innovations to address the challenges that face growing cities—and how we might realize this vision on Toronto’s Eastern Waterfront. We’ve decided to release the vision we laid out in our response, both in the interest of transparency and to start what promises to be a history-making public conversation. We hope all Torontonians—and city-lovers far and wide—will join in. Which urban challenges are most urgent? Where can technology prove useful in finding solutions, and where is it not the right tool? Which of our ideas are great, which are crazy, and what did we miss? We need your ideas, your aspirations, your critiques, your concerns. We hope you’ll email us, call us, tweet at us, and, if possible, join us in person at a series of public conversations, beginning with a Community Town Hall in early November. We couldn’t be more honored to have been selected by Waterfront Toronto to do something historic on the shore of Lake Ontario.

  • LMDA Conference Handbook - Toronto, on - June 21-23, 2018
    LMDA Conference Handbook - Toronto, ON - June 21-23, 2018 33rd Annual LMDA Conference* – TORONTO, ONTARIO Thursday, June 21 – Saturday, June 23, 2018 I’m so excited to welcome you to my hometown, Toronto – it’s not just the place Drake calls "The Six," but a city of great diversity, great growth (we’re the 4th largest city in North America) and with that, great challenges. Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory’ – a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. The "Dish” represents what is now southern Ontario, from the Great Lakes to Quebec and from Lake Simcoe into the United States. We all eat out of the Dish, all of us that share this territory, with only one spoon. That means we have to share the responsibility of ensuring the dish is never empty, which includes taking care of the land and the creatures we share it with. Importantly, there are no knives at the table, representing the idea that we must keep the peace. The conference theme is “Crossing Borders” – for many of you, you’ll be crossing a border of one kind or another to attend this conference. That act inspired me to think about what other kinds of borders are people crossing in their work and their lives in order to make art. It became clear through the Call for Proposals that the theme resonated with a lot of you and the conversations at the conference will deal with all kinds of borders and the ways in which we acknowledge them or cross them.

  • March 22, 2016 Toronto Transit Commission Board Committee Room 1, City Hall 100 Queen St W Toronto on M5H 2N2 Dear Commissioner
    March 22, 2016 Toronto Transit Commission Board Committee Room 1, City Hall 100 Queen St W Toronto ON M5H 2N2 Dear Commissioners, Re: Improved Transit in East/Central Downtown: 72 Pape and 121 Fort York-Esplanade Bus Routes and 514 Cherry Streetcar Service on King Street As condo towers rise higher and higher above our downtown neighbourhoods, I am often asked the same question: Are we building neighbourhoods or are we just adding density? Frankly, we have a lot of work ahead of us to ensure that all this density adds up to liveable communities. Providing reliable transit service with adequate capacity to carry everyone who wants to use it is an important part of ensuring that our newest downtown communities can mature into complete neighbourhoods that are sustainable, liveable, and attractive to a diverse range of households including families with children. Investing in public transit in our downtown communities is critical in encouraging residents to use public transit to reduce the effects of climate change and the number of cars on our roads. Most downtown residents do not regularly drive a car. Many people walk or use a bicycle but personal circumstances and the geography of our city mean that for many people the TTC is truly the better way. TTC services are critical in providing access to our neighbourhoods, but also in moving from their homes to other vibrant centres of our City. To continue to do this, we must expand access to service for our rapidly growing downtown neighbourhoods. The King-Spadina area is growing from a derelict warehouse district with few residents into a collection of neighbourhoods with a population on its way to 40,000, in addition to tens of thousands of jobs.
