  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register -1627 Danforth Avenue
    ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - 1627 Danforth Avenue Date: April 4, 2019 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 19 – Beaches-East York SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The site contains a complex known historically as the Danforth Carhouse, which is currently owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It was developed beginning in 1914 by the Toronto Civic Railways (TCR), expanded by the Toronto Transportation Commission (forerunner to today's TTC) and the TTC and currently used as offices and staff facilities for TTC personnel. In 2015, City Council requested that the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue be researched and evaluated for inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. It has been identified for its potential cultural heritage value in the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (2018). It is the selected site for a police station consolidating 54 and 55 Divisions. The property at 1627 Danforth Avenue is part of a Master Plan study being undertaken by CreateTO to guide the redevelopment of the site as a multi-use civic hub for the Toronto Transit Commission, the Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Public Library as the key anchor tenants, which will incorporate and adaptively reuse the Danforth Carhouse. RECOMMENDATIONS The Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design City Planning recommends that: 1. City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning.

  • Procurement Authorization Roncesvalles Carhouse Maintenance Facility Extension Contract B4-24 Action Item
    Form Revised: February 2005 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. MEETING DATE: January 31, 2012 SUBJECT: PROCUREMENT AUTHORIZATION RONCESVALLES CARHOUSE MAINTENANCE FACILITY EXTENSION CONTRACT B4-24 ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Commission authorize the award of Contract B4-24, Roncesvalles Carhouse Maintenance Facility Extension to Maystar General Contractors Inc. in the amount of $9,930,000.00 (excluding the Specified Options). FUNDING Sufficient funds for this expenditure are included in Project 3.9 Carhouse Modifications – New LRV Program as set on pages 795R-803R of the State of Good Repair/Safety Category, in the TTC’s 2012-2016 Capital Program which was approved by the Commission on December 19, 2011. BACKGROUND The Roncesvalles Carhouse was constructed in 1895 and has been upgraded in the past to suit changing streetcar technologies and specifications. The new accessible Low Floor Light Rail Vehicles (LFLRVs) acquired by the Commission are longer than the current fleet of standard Canadian Light Rail Vehicles and Articulated Light Rail Vehicles and have different features such as different jacking points, undercar and car body maintenance requirements, traction, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. In addition, the new LFLRVs have ancillary equipment mounted on the roof. This requires the expansion of the carhouse for vehicle access and maintenance requirements. The Roncesvalles Carhouse will serve as the west end running maintenance facility, providing the Commission the ability to maximize the number of vehicles stored, serviced, and delivered into daily revenue service in conjunction with Russell Carhouse and Ashbridges Bay maintenace facility where the bulk of maintenance and all of heavy repairs will be performed.
