  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

  • Stouffville Construction Updates
    STOUFFVILLE CONSTRUCTION UPDATES In the last few months, we’ve made a number of changes at our stations including updating amenities, enhancing accessibility, and making it easier to access GO services. GO Expansion will increase the frequency and number of GO trains across our network, reduce congestion and connect a growing region with fast, reliable transit options to get you where you need to go. Learn about more service and improvements planned for your corridor at metrolinx.com/stouffville-go-expansion. What's Changed Kennedy GO Improvements Made: • A new GO platform at Kennedy station is now open. Current Customer Impacts: • The new platform is shorter in length than the current platform and door restrictions will be in place for trains that have more than six coaches. • You can still access the new platform from the east side of the tracks by using the pedestrian tunnel to cross over to Kennedy TTC Station. • If you need an elevator, you will not be able to access the new platform through this route. Please access the platform through the west side of the tracks from Kennedy TTC Station or the adjacent TTC parking lot. • It might take a little longer than usual so give yourself extra time to get to your train during construction and follow signs for directions. Completion Date: August 2020 For more information on Kennedy GO improvements click here What's Changing Mount Joy GO Construction Map Work Completed/In Progress: • New yellow safety tiling on the train platforms • New digital signage on train platforms • New digital signage on bus platforms Current Customer Impacts: • Starting September 21, the north half of the platform will be closed to install tactile yellow safety tiles and digital signs.
