  • STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Cycling Network Plan Update
    IE6.11 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Cycling Network Plan Update Date: June 13, 2019 To: Infrastructure and Environment Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: All SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the implementation progress for the City's Cycling Network Plan, establish a priority framework for Major City-Wide Cycling Routes, and share next steps for effective implementation of proposed cycling infrastructure. The Cycling Network Plan, alongside the draft Official Plan cycling policies currently under review, present a strong vision for improving cycling across the city. More people are riding bicycles in Toronto than ever before, especially where new or improved cycling infrastructure has been provided. In some Toronto neighbourhoods, the cycling mode share is now over 20%. Demand for safe, connected cycling routes throughout the city is on the rise, and recent polls demonstrate the majority of residents support protected bike lanes. This report provides information requested by City Council as part of a two year review of the Ten Year Cycling Network Plan (2016), including status, changes to project timing, and recommendations for the initiation of major studies. This updated Cycling Network Plan also reflects enhanced analyses and lessons from implementation challenges to date. Moving forward, the Cycling Network Plan will consist of two components: a near-term capital implementation program for cycling infrastructure (currently 2019 to 2021), and an overall proposed network (currently 2022+). The Cycling Network Plan Update maintains the originally established goals of Connect, Grow, and Renew, with newly articulated objectives and measures that correspond to each of the three overarching goals, providing additional clarity and indicators for evaluating success.

    July 14, 2021 12th floor, West Tower, City Hall 100 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Attention: Marilyn Toft RE: MM35.4 Completing The Missing Link and Building the East Toronto Railpath - by Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Joe Cressy (Ward 10, 11) Dear Mayor Tory and Members of City Council, This is to express our strong support for the Members Motion to move forward with this exciting project to convert a disused rail line and bridge to an active transportation corridor in the Don Valley. This will connect and expand the City’s trail system, dramatically expanding recreational opportunities for Torontonians, provide an opportunity to memorialize the historic railway story of Toronto, realise part of the Don Valley Park vision, and create a new tourism magnet for Toronto. The West Toronto Railpath and the Don Mills Trail serve as local models for how rail to trail conversions can provide low cost sustainable recreational opportunities provided other orders of government are willing to cooperate, and providing we (and they) are willing to make the upfront investment. The East Toronto Railpath project is extraordinarily significant as a “place-keeping” opportunity, and we urge City Council to recognize the opportunities therein for Indigenous partnership. We note a couple of possible “flies in the ointment” that the City needs to pay attention to as this project proceeds: The route (undefined) of the VIA RAIL High Frequency Rail Toronto to Ottawa via Peterborough; The site of the Metrolinx Don Valley Train Layover Facility north of the Bloor Viaduct (for which project FoNTRA has requested a federal environmental assessment be conducted).

  • Fishes of Toronto (Part 2)
    41 Checklist of Warmwater Fishes of Toronto Fish Status: (N) Native (I) Introduced or Invasive (XP) Extirpated Fish Statistics: (Average Ontario Length, Record Ontario Length, Maximum Age) Common Name Status Comments North American Catfishes Black Bullhead N The Black Bullhead was documented in Toronto in 1927, but has not been recorded since. Black Bullhead and Brown Bullhead are (15.5 cm, 26.0 cm, 10 yrs) difficult to distinguish and it is possible that the fish was misidentified. Brown Bullhead N The Brown Bullhead is Toronto’s most common catfish. The eight fleshy “whiskers” or barbels around the head of the bullhead are filled (28.0 cm, 44.6 cm, 12 yrs) with taste buds that allow it to taste its food before it eats it. Channel Catfish N Canada’s largest catfish, this species is sometimes sought by anglers. It is the only catfish in Toronto with a forked tail. This tail and its (44.5 cm, 88.9 cm, 16 yrs) more streamlined body adapt it for life in swifter waters. Its species name, punctatus, refers to the scattered dark spots on the body. Stonecat N The largest madtom in Canada. Madtoms are small catfishes that have their adipose fin fused to their tail fin. It is usually found under (17.5 cm, 26.7 cm, 7 yrs) stones in fast-flowing segments of streams throughout Toronto. Its fin spines can deliver a painful venomous sting if handled carelessly. Tadpole Madtom N The Tadpole Madtom resembles a tadpole. Like most madtoms, its spines are venomous and, when it stabs, can cause pain similar to a (7.0 cm, 11.7 cm, 3 yrs) bee sting for up to two hours.

  • Variance Explanations.Pdf
    ATTACHMENT 5: VARIANCE EXPLANATIONS OPERATING REPORTABLE VARIANCE NOTES ‐ EXPENDITURES (Figures in 000's) A The York Region permit review staff compensation account and Metrolinx environmental assessment review projects have lower than anticipated expenditures as a result of staff gapping. Once these are taken into consideration, the variance is ($328) and ‐8% which is within the acceptable threshold. B The Claremont and Albion Hills Field centre expenditures are lower than anticipated as a result of staff gapping. Once these are taken into consideration, the variance is ($446) and ‐8% which is within the acceptable threshold. C The lower than anticipated recoveries are due to timing, as there were delays in the execution of capital projects. Once this is taken into consideration, the variance is ($1) and 0% which is within the acceptable threshold. OPERATING REPORTABLE VARIANCE NOTES ‐ REVENUES (Figures in 000's) D Revenue is lower than anticipated due to a limited number of high value permit applications throughout 2019. Once this is taken into consideration, the variance is $7 and 0% which is within the acceptable threshold. E The lower than anticipated revenues are as a result of both reduced bookings at Kortright from school board job action in Q4, and staff gapping which resulted in fewer funding applications for education programming support. Once this is taken into consideration, the variance is ($411) and ‐8% which is within the acceptable threshold. F This variance is reflective of the 2018 and 2019 NEER rebate which was received in 2019. Once this is taken into account, the variance is $0 and 0% which is within the acceptable threshold.
