  • 20TEY Dear Sirs, I Am an Owner and Resident of 24 Highview
    coa.tey From: Peter Harries-Jones <[email protected]> Sent: May 25, 2021 12:12 PM To: coa.tey Cc: [email protected] File number B0086/20TEY A1097/20TEY A1098/ 20TEY Dear Sirs, I am an owner and resident of 24 Highview Crescent, along with my wife, Rosalind Gill. I would like to support the content of the letter sent to you recently by Kate Stewart and Bret Dawson of 29 Highview Crescent regarding the proposed application for permission to build a house next door to them on the property of 15 Highview Crescent. We fully support their objections to proposed construction of a building there. The proposed building is almost directly opposite our own property and our objections are a) aesthetics - that it would effectively destroy the notion of Highview Crescent as a ‘crescent’ b) that the building of a property there would be ecologically damaging and c) that during the period of construction, the buildings on the eastern side of the building site , under present traffic regulations on the street, would be effectively blocked from entry to their property because of construction traffic parked on the street. A) Aesthetics. Highview Crescent is named a ‘crescent’ because of the curve in the road and the evident vacant space created by a set back of housing on that curve. Currently this very evident physical highlight of the street, is crowned by the existence of two ‘survivor ‘ elms right on that site. I believe that the requisite department of Toronto City Council has made a survey of ‘survivor’ elms in the city, and I read a couple of years ago that only 23 elms survive in the downtown of Toronto.

  • Bus Lane Implementation Plan
    2045.5 For Action Bus Lane Implementation Plan Date: July 14, 2020 To: TTC Board From: Chief Strategy & Customer Officer Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the TTC is a vital service in Toronto providing transportation to essential destinations including employment, healthcare, groceries and pharmacies. Although TTC ridership may be down to 22% of pre-pandemic levels, the TTC continues to serve hundreds of thousands of customer-trips on a daily basis. We also have learned through this pandemic, that bus customers have relied on our services the most - 36% of the customers that used buses prior to COVID-19 are still using the system as compared to 19% of subway customers, as of the week ending June 26. As the city and GTHA re-opens and recovery begins, it is expected that people who have the resources and option to, will return to private vehicles, taxis or private transportation companies (PTCs) more quickly than to transit in order to maintain physical distance from others. The TTC’s surface transit network plays a critical role in moving people around Toronto and we must enhance its attractiveness to ensure it continues to provide a viable alternative to the automobile. A key initiative to achieve this is the implementation of bus transit lanes, which will provide customers with a safe, reliable and fast service. The TTC’s 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook identified a 20-point action plan including Action 4.1 Explore Bus Transit Lanes. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop the following prioritization and implementation plan for the five corridors identified in the Plan.
