Urban Redevelopment and Soil Movement in Toronto Prepared By
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by YorkSpace Turning The Soil: Urban Redevelopment and Soil Movement In Toronto Prepared by: Nicolas Romeo Sabo Supervisors: Dr. Peter Mulvihill and Dr. Anders Sandberg July 1, 2017 A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nicolas R. Sabo Peter Mulvihill and Anders Sandberg MES Candidate Supervising Professors Abstract The goal of this major paper is to determine whether Toronto’s soil remediation, transport and redevelopment regime is sustainable – or whether unforeseen and dispersed factors will someday combine to form a disaster for the city’s urban environment. In order to address this question, the paper first examines a history of the city’s brownfields: In Toronto, brownfields are broadly known as vacant or underused properties that may have been contaminated by past land use, but which show potential for redevelopment. They are also major producers of both contaminated and clean fill, and the paper examines the policies which have shaped their definition, usage, and disposal. Following an examination of the state of the art in brownfield sciences in Ontario, Canada, and globally, the focus turns to the study of disasters. Taking cues from Barry Turner’s seminal book in disaster studies Man-Made Disasters, a disaster is “an event, concentrated in time and space, which threatens a society or a relatively self-sufficient subdivision of a society with major unwanted consequences as a result of the collapse of precautions that had hitherto been culturally accepted as adequate.” A situation in which construction-related soil stockpiles are depleted to the point that cost-effectiveness of importation comes into question, or in which rising prices cause an exodus of Toronto’s building potential, can therefore be rightly termed disasters.

The General Secretary transmitted the above approval of the Commission to the City Clerk in a letter dated February 22, 1966, a copy of which is attached. In a letter dated November 2, 1966, a copy of which is attached, the Commission was advised by the Metropolitan Clerk that Metropolitan Council had adopted Clause No. 2 of Report No. 16 of the Transportation Committee, headed "Proposed Queen Street Subway", as amended. The recommendation of Clause No. 2 reads as follows, "It is recommended that the Metropolitan Council formally request the Toronto Transit Commission to complete their study of the physical aspects of the Queen Street tunnel as outlined in the Commission's letter of February 22, 1966, on the understanding that the required expenditure of $30,000.00 will form part of the capital cost of the project." The amendment to Clause No. 2 reads as follows, "The matter of the Queen Street tunnel being considered in relation to the question of the Queen-Greenwood Subway." In accordance with all the foregoing, plans were developed for a "transit facility in the downtown section on Queen Street", and in addition to this a preliminary examination was made of the downtown section in relation to it becoming part of the Queen-Greenwood Subway.

Metrolinx prepared an Initial Business Case (IBC) that was publicly posted on July 25, 2019.2 The IBC compared the Ontario Line and Relief Line South projects against a Business As Usual scenario. The general findings by Metrolinx were that "both Relief Line South and Ontario Line offer significant improvements compared to a Business As Usual scenario, generating $3.4 billion and $7.4 billion worth of economic benefits, respectively.

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.
