Toronto City Council Highlights - January 31, 2017 Waste collection east of Yonge Street Council considered the matter of curbside waste collection service east of Yonge Street and voted to refer the matter to staff for further study and a later report to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. The current curbside collection system is split between contracted collection west of Yonge Street and in-house collection by City workers east of Yonge Street. Transit fare inspection and enforcement The Toronto Municipal Code will be amended allow members of the Toronto Transit Commission's transit enforcement unit to tag and tow vehicles that disrupt transit service. Council approved the measure in the context of a report on a new transit fare inspection and enforcement model recently adopted by the TTC. Parking options for commuters Council agreed to direct staff to consult with stakeholders and report back by April on the parking needs of commuters using the Spadina-University subway line in the northern part of the city. The objective is to consider circumstances that have reduced commuter parking in the area and recommend options for more commuter parking. The City Clerk's formal documentation of all the meeting's decisions is available at http://www.toronto.ca/council. February 15, 2017: City Council This is a special meeting of City Council to debate and vote on the 2017 Operating Budget and Capital Plan.

  • Racial Equity Impact Assessment of TTC Enforcement Activities
    2052.5 For Action Racial Equity Impact Assessment of TTC Enforcement Activities Date: April 14, 2021 To: TTC Board From: Chief Diversity and Culture Officer Summary In December 2020, the TTC committed to a 10-Point Action Plan to build greater diversity and inclusion. Acknowledging a history of systemic racism and bias, the TTC continues to focus on implementing targeted initiatives to identify, address and prevent systemic racism and create an organization that is inclusive for customers and employees. This work is supported through the TTC’s commitment to a system wide Anti-Racism Strategy. As noted in the December 2020 report to the TTC Board, the Third-Party Review of Data in Several Key Areas, (Action Item 3) is critical for systemic change. In 2019, the TTC retained Dr. Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Dr. Scot Wortley, researchers with the University of Toronto, to conduct an independent review of the historical customer data derived from the TTC’s Fare Inspector and Special Constable Service activities (the Racial Equity Impact Assessment). Their assessment and inquiry employs a variety of research and investigative techniques intended to: • Identify racial disparities in key enforcement outcomes; • Determine the causes of these disparities; and • Identify appropriate measures for reform. Having completed their Phase One review, the researchers found that between 2008 and 2018, both Black and Indigenous people were over-represented in TTC enforcement incidents, and in both TTC charges and cautions. Reference to enforcement activities includes cautions and charges related to fare inspection, and safety and security incidents. The findings further support the critical need for the TTC’s ongoing work to identify, prevent and address racism, anti-Black racism and anti-Indigenous racism, in the workplace and in the delivery of services, and to build trust with Black, Indigenous and racialized communities.

  • Capital Projects Group Quarterly Report: June 2017
    MEMORANDUM To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Gerry Chaput Chief Capital Officer (Acting), Capital Projects Group Date: June 28, 2017 Re: Capital Projects Group Quarterly Report: June 2017 Recommendation That this report is received for information. Executive Summary The Capital Projects Group (CPG) is advancing a large and growing program, involving signature projects like the Regional Express Rail (RER) program, the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT), Finch West LRT, Hurontario LRT, Hamilton LRT and Bus Rapid Transit. CPG has made progress in the advancement of RER enabling works using the Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) model with the assistance of Infrastructure Ontario (IO). Rapid Transit (RT) projects are also moving forward with continued construction on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the recent decision from the City of Hamilton Council to approve the Hamilton LRT project and submit an updated environmental assessment (EA) for a 3 kilometre extension from Queenston Circle to Eastgate. Work continues on the management of the RER program’s scope, schedule and budget by introducing new systems, controls and processes and transitioning the program documentation to centralized, system-based record keeping. These systems will be leveraged by all CPG programs and are expected to improve reporting, provide for timely and fact based decision making and better coordinate messaging with stakeholders. CPG is also pleased to report the following accomplishments this quarter: - the introduction of all-day GO Train Service to the Stouffville GO Line to help manage congestion and improve commutes in Scarborough and York Region; - the announcement of the three shortlisted teams to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Hurontario Light Rail Transit (LRT) project; and - breaking ground on the Downtown Bus Terminal project which will be designed to LEED Platinum standards and connect to Union Station and to the PATH system.
