Into the Mix is an Area Specific Plan (ASP) for the MTSA that provides guidance to the Town with respect to how it can lead a transformation of the area from predominantly employment and industrial uses to a transit-oriented mixed-use community that retains an employment focus. This ASP aligns with the Livable Oakville Official Plan and other relevant local, regional, and provincial policies, plans, and strategies. Realizing the potential of the MTSA will require that the recommendations in this ASP be implemented by an Official Plan Amendment (OPA), approved by Town Council. To support this process, Into the Mix identifies: • A defined boundary for the MTSA, anchored by the Bronte GO Station; • Recommended land uses and building heights; • Recommended updates to the transportation network that maximizes existing infrastructure and services; • Ideal locations for open spaces and community facilities; • Stormwater, water and wastewater infrastructure required to support new development; i Bronte GO MTSA: Area Specific Plan Study Area The Bronte GO MTSA is located south-west of the Surrounding uses include stable residential Queen Elizabeth Way and Third Line intersection and neighbourhoods to the south, Fourteen Mile Creek is comprised primarily of employment and industrial to the east, and large industrial properties to the uses. west.

    APPENDIX 5 February 2013 APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5-A Paper #5a Transit Service and Infrastructure Paper #5a TRANSIT SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE This paper outlines public transit service within the Town of Oakville, identifies the role of public transit within the objectives of the Livable Oakville Plan and the North Oakville Secondary Plans, outlines the current transit initiatives and identifies future transit strategies and alternatives. This report provides an assessment of target transit modal share, the level of investment required to achieve these targets and the anticipated effectiveness of alternative transit investment strategies. This paper will provide strategic direction and recommendations for Oakville Transit, GO Transit and VIA Rail service, and identify opportunities to better integrate transit with other modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling, as well as providing for accessible services. 1.0 The Role of Transit in Oakville 1.1. Provincial Policy The Province of Ontario has provided direction to municipalities regarding growth and the relationship between growth and sustainable forms of travel including public transit. Transit is seen to play a key role in addressing the growth pressures faced by municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, including the Town of Oakville. In June 2006, the Province of Ontario released a Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The plan is a framework for implementing the Province’s vision for building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth in the region to 2031. The plan outlines strategies for managing growth with emphasis on reducing dependence on the automobile and “promotes transit, cycling and walking”. In addition, the plan establishes “urban growth centres” as locations for accommodating a significant share of population and employment growth.

  • (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.

    Understanding Factors Associated With Commuter Rail Ridership A Demand Elasticity Study of the GO Transit Rail Network by Aaron Shantz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Aaron Shantz 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Mode share in major North American cities is currently dominated by private automobile use. Planners have theorized that transitioning commuter rail systems to regional rail networks is a viable method to increase ridership and stabilize mode share. This process is currently underway in Ontario, Canada, as the amount and frequency of service is being increased throughout the GO Transit rail network via the GO Expansion Program. However, previous studies have shown that transit demand does not solely respond to service quantity expansions. Variables related to the built environment, regional economy, network characteristics, and socioeconomic status of the customer base can influence transit demand to varying degrees. Further, the literature states that the travel behavior of commuter rail users is unique, as access mode, distance, socioeconomic status, and the utility derived from varying trip types can differ compared to local transit users. These findings suggest that supplementary policies might be needed to reduce automobile reliance and stimulate demand for regional transit. Many transit researchers have conducted demand elasticity studies to identify what factors are significantly associated with transit ridership.

  • Subject: Metrolinx Initial Business Case Update – Niagara Falls Rail Service Extension Recommendations Key Facts Financial
    PW 6-2020 January 14, 2020 Page 1 Subject: Metrolinx Initial Business Case Update – Niagara Falls Rail Service Extension Report to: Public Works Committee Report date: Tuesday, January 14, 2020 Recommendations That Report PW 6-2020 BE RECEIVED for information. Key Facts The purpose of this report is to provide a review and analysis of the Metrolinx’s Updated Initial Business Case (IBC) for the Niagara Expansion. The updated IBC for extending rail service to Niagara recommends the Option 2 service pattern which results in 11 total daily train trips for Niagara (six (6) outbound trains from Niagara Falls to Union Station, five (5) trains inbound from Union Station to Niagara Falls), seven (7) days a week. As the next step of the expansion process, Metrolinx will refine the infrastructure scope and service patterns for Option 2. This analysis of refinements and optimizations will eventually be published as a Preliminary Design Business Case. Metrolinx’s Board approved moving forward to a Preliminary Design Business Case using Option 2 as the targeted service levels at its November 2019 board meeting. Financial Considerations There are no financial considerations related to this report. Analysis Metrolinx has a four (4) stage, iterative Business Case process. Projects progress through the following business case cycle: 1) Initial Business Case—compares investment options and selects preferred option for further refinement and design 2) Preliminary Design Business Case—takes the recommended option of the IBC and reviews different approaches to refine and optimize it 3) Full Business Case—confirms a specific option including benefits, realization, financing, and delivery plans for procurement 4) Post In-Service Business Case—reviews the actual costs and performance of the investment after the asset has gone into service There is no set period of time for when these business cases are undertaken or how long of a process it is from start to finish of the business case four stage cycle.
