  • Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East
    IE14.12 ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East Date: June 24, 2020 To: Infrastructure and Environment Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Wards 13 and 14 SUMMARY On May 28, 2020, City Council adopted CC21.20 Cycling Network Plan Installations: Bloor West Bikeway Extension & ActiveTO Projects and requested Transportation Services to report to the July 9, 2020 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the status of previous requests to improve the bike lanes on Dundas Street East. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on these requests. Bicycle lanes on Dundas Street East have long provided a vital east/west cycling connection. In the 2001 Toronto Bike Plan, Dundas Street East was identified as a candidate for bicycle lanes from River Street to Kingston Road and in 2003, bicycle lanes were installed on the section of Dundas Street East from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road. The Dundas Street East bicycle lanes are connected to the protected bicycle lanes on Woodbine Avenue via contra-flow bicycle lanes on Dixon Avenue. Transportation Services has installed a number of safety improvements along Dundas Street East including pavement marking enhancements along the corridor and intersection improvements at Dundas Street East and Jones Avenue. In June 2020, as part of the ActiveTO program, temporary protected bicycle lanes (cycle tracks) were installed to extend the Dundas Street East bicycle lanes by 1 kilometre (km) from their end point just east of Broadview, west to Sackville Street to provide a safe connection through the Broadview intersection and over the Don Valley Parkway bridge.

  • The Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) Is Growing Fast, and While This Growth Is a Sign of Success and Opportunity, Our Transportation Networks Are at Their Limit
    Frequently Asked Questions Why is Metrolinx expanding GO service? The Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) is growing fast, and while this growth is a sign of success and opportunity, our transportation networks are at their limit. Metrolinx is working to build a regional transportation system that’s modern, efficient and integrated, with more public transportation connections to keep GHTA residents moving today and tomorrow. What is Metrolinx doing in the GTHA? Expanded GO service is just one part of what is being developed in the Region. Metrolinx is delivering the largest transportation infrastructure program in Canadian history and it will transform the GTHA. To give you a sense of the scope of what is ahead, Metrolinx has an ambitious plan that envisions more than 1,200 kilometers of rapid transit – more than triple what exists now – so that over 80 per cent of residents in the GTHA will live within two kilometers of this network. Currently, there are more than 400 rapid transit projects underway, creating enormous economic benefits of 800,000-900,000 person years of employment and an infusion of $110-$130 billion to our economy. When complete, the Metrolinx plan will transform the way the GTHA moves. What specific projects are expected in my community? Metrolinx is working to create more connections to the entire GO Network with faster, more frequent local service on the Barrie GO line. The planned work will bring all day, evening and weekend service to Innisfil residents. To make this happen, we’re building a new station in Innisfil, constructing a new layover facility in Barrie so trains can be stored overnight to begin service bright and early in the morning, and making modifications to Barrie’s two existing stations, including 139 net-new parking spots at the Barrie South GO Station.

  • The One Toronto Transit Plan the One Toronto Transit Plan
    THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN As Mayor, John Tory will make Toronto more liveable, affordable and functional. Public transit is at the heart of what it takes to improve Toronto in each of these areas. John Tory’s One Toronto Transit Plan is a collection of initiatives and public transit investments that will get our city moving in seven years, and provide relief to the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line. THE ONE TORONTO PLAN WILL: • Start construction of the Scarborough subway extension immediately. • Engage the City with the Government of Ontario’s and Metrolinx’s plans for Regional Express Rail (RER) – all-day, two-way surface subway service on existing GO track lines with new higher-speed vehicles . • Start with the SmartTrack line as the first RER project, providing 53 km of relief. The SmartTrack line will run from the Airport Corporate Centre in the west, down to Union Station and back up to Markham in the east, with 22 new station stops and four interchanges with the TTC rapid transit network. • Finance the City’s one third of the capital cost of the SmartTrack line without raising property taxes, using tax increment financing. • Provide new express bus services for a segment of travelers that can be moved much quicker if fewer stops are made en route. Examples, which have been discussed, include, Don Mills Road, Dufferin Street and Front Street/Liberty Village. THE ONE TORONTO TRANSIT PLAN BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH TORY’S ONE TORONTO TRANSIT RELIEF PLAN INCLUDE: • Bringing relief sooner, to more Torontonians, rather than just the downtown- concentrated proposals of other candidates.
