    A Map of Toronto’s Cultural Facilities A Cultural Facilities Analysis 03.01.10 Prepared for: Rita Davies Managing Director of Culture Division of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Prepared by: ERA Architects Inc. Urban Intelligence Inc. Cuesta Systems Inc. Executive Summary In 1998, seven municipalities, each with its own distinct cultural history and infrastructure, came together to form the new City of Toronto. The process of taking stock of the new city’s cultural facilities was noted as a priority soon after amalgamation and entrusted to the newly formed Culture Division. City Council on January 27, 2000, adopted the recommendations of the Policy and Finance Committee whereby the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism was requested to proceed with a Cultural Facilities Masterplan including needs assessment and business cases for new arts facilities, including the Oakwood - Vaughan Arts Centre, in future years. This report: > considers the City of Toronto’s role in supporting cultural facilities > documents all existing cultural facilities > provides an approach for assessing Toronto’s cultural health. Support for Toronto’s Cultural Facilities Through the Culture Division, the City of Toronto provides both direct and indirect support to cultural activities. Direct support consists of : > grants to individual artists and arts organizations > ongoing operating and capital support for City-owned and operated facilities. Indirect support consists of: > property tax exemptions > below-market rents on City-owned facilities > deployment of Section 37 development agreements. A Cultural Facilities Inventory A Cultural Facility Analysis presents and interprets data about Toronto’s cultural facilities that was collected by means of a GIS (Global Information System) database.

    UP Express Electrification EA Noise and Vibration Assessment Report

    UP Express Electrification EA Noise and Vibration Assessment Report FINAL Project No. 1124019.00 March, 2014 UP Express Electrification EA FINAL Impact Assessment Report – Noise and Vibration Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to document the noise and vibration Baseline Conditions (Part A) and Impact Assessment (Part B) that was completed as part of the UP Express Electrification EA. Baseline conditions were established using modelling and measurements that were completed in support of previous Georgetown South Service Expansion and Union Pearson Rail Link (GSSE-UPRL) EA reports completed by Metrolinx. Operational noise and vibration impacts have been evaluated based on guidance from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) for evaluation of rail transportation projects (i.e., the UP Express service) and stationary sources (i.e., supporting facilities including paralleling stations and EMU maintenance facility). Noise and vibration impacts from construction activities associated with the UP Express project have been considered in accordance with the requirements of the applicable MOE guidelines and best practices. The UP Express service will also include transformer stations associated with the Traction Power Supply system. The Traction Power Supply system is subject to the provincial Environmental Assessment Act in accordance with the Class EA for Minor Transmission Facilities. Therefore, the potential effects related to the new TPS are being assessed by Hydro One as part of this separate Class EA process (refer to the Hydro One Union Pearson Express Electrification Traction Power Supply System Class Environmental Assessment - Draft Environmental Study Report). The UP Express service will commence operations with train sets comprised of Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs).
