  • Etobicoke-Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) Notice of Commencement of the Transit Project Assessment Process and Open Houses
    Etobicoke-Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) Notice of Commencement of the Transit Project Assessment Process and Open Houses The City of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) are holding four Open Houses where you can learn more about this transit project, ask questions and share your comments. Each Open House will be held between 7:00pm to 9:30pm.

Electrically-powered Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) will travel in reserved lanes providing a smooth, fast and comfortable transit experience. The Etobicoke-Finch West LRT will connect to the Yonge subway line at Finch Station and the future extension of the Spadina Subway line at the planned Keele Station. The City of Toronto Ofcial Plan outlines initiatives to implement transit priorities throughout the city, intensify growth in rapid transit corridors and reduce car dependency.

  • Attachment Mts-04
    IN THE MATTER OF the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, C. 15, (Schedule B); AND IN THE MATTER OF an Application by Canadian Distributed Antenna Systems Coalition for certain orders under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL STARKEY ON BEHALF OF TORONTO HYDRO-ELECTRIC SYSTEM LIMITED (“THESL” or “Toronto Hydro”) ATTACHMENT MTS-04 ATTACHMENT MTS-04 Attachment MTS-04 Listing of Cellular/PCS/AWS Station Sites Within 25 Kms. of the Center of Toronto MTS-04 is intended to identify the physical locations (i.e., station sites) of all antennas licensed for radio-transmission within the cellular/PCS/AWS frequency bands that are within 25 kilometers of the center of Toronto. Attachment MTS-04 was developed as follows. Step 1: The Attachment MTS-03 dataset served as staring point. Because that dataset includes antenna arrays that may be operated by different carriers at the same station site, it was necessary to eliminate multiple records for the same station site. The first step in that process involved concatenating the latitude and longitude fields into a single number and sorting on this new field. A simple @IF formula (i.e., if lat-long field of current record = lat-long field of previous record, flag as a duplicate) was then applied to compare successive records’ concatenated latitude-longitude fields and remove all duplicates (which represent multiple antenna arrays collocated at the same station site), so that only a single unique record remained for each location (latitude/longitude). Step 2: However, we also encountered numerous instances in which the various wireless operators had entered non-identical latitude-longitude and/or street address information on the records they supplied to the ALS database for what were clearly intended to represent the same station locations.

  • Ontario Line Initial Business Case
    MEMORANDUM To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Mathieu Goetzke Chief Planning Officer (A) Date: September 12, 2019 Re: Subway Program – Ontario Line Update Resolution RESOLVED, based on the report prepared by the Chief Planning Officer, entitled “Subway Program – Ontario Line Update” and any further amendments directed by the Board at its meeting on September 12, 2019; THAT the Board endorses the results of the Ontario Line Initial Business Case; AND THAT, the Ontario Line project be advanced to the Preliminary Design stage and further evaluated through a Preliminary Design Business Case. Executive Summary In summer 2018, the government directed MTO to “…lead the development of an implementation strategy for provincial ownership of the TTC subway network and other strategic transit/transportation assets in the City of Toronto.” This commitment has since been reiterated in the 2018 Fall Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, and in the 2019 Ontario Budget. In the 2019 Ontario Budget, the Province announced its plan to build four subway projects, with a total preliminary cost estimate of $28.5 billion. Ontario Line was one of the priority projects announced, along with the Scarborough Subway Extension, the Yonge Subway Extension and the Eglinton West Extension. The budget also included a renewal of the commitment to upload new subway projects and the existing network from the City of Toronto. The Getting Ontario Moving Act, 2019, which received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019, amended the Metrolinx Act to enable the Province to upload responsibility for new rapid transit projects, including subway projects, from the City of Toronto. A regulation made under this act has designated the Relief Line/Ontario Line, the Yonge Subway Extension, and the Scarborough Subway Extension the sole responsibility of the Province, through Metrolinx.

  • Changes to TTC Bus Routes for Line 1 Extension
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Changes to TTC Bus Routes for Line 1 Extension Date: May 18, 2017 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary Line 1 Extension, also known as the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE), is an 8.6 km rapid transit project that will extend the TTC’s Line 1 subway from Sheppard West (formerly Downsview) Station northwest to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, with six new stations. The new stations are: • Downsview Park Station • Finch West Station • York University Station • Pioneer Village Station • Highway 407 Station • Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station This report recommends changes to the existing bus routes near the new subway service in order to connect customers to the new rapid transit stations and improve their journey times. The subway extension is scheduled to open in December 2017. Bus routes along Sheppard Avenue West will have new on-street connections with Downsview Park Station. Bus routes in the Keele Avenue and Finch Avenue West area will provide new connections to the bus terminal at Finch West Station. The majority of TTC bus services at York Commons in York University will relocate to the bus terminal at Pioneer Village Station. Transit partners in York Region Transit/Viva, Brampton Transit, and GO Transit will provide new connections to the stations in York Region, at Pioneer Village Station, Highway 407 Station, and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station. The number of buses required to provide service to the residents in surrounding areas will be reduced by approximately 20 morning peak buses when the modified routes are introduced in December 2017.
