Expropriation of Part of 228-230 Queens Quay West
GM8.19 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Expropriation of Part of 228-230 Queens Quay West and Part of the Lands at the Rear of 250-270 Queens Quay West for the Reconstruction of the York/Bay/Yonge Off-ramp from the F.G. Gardiner Expressway Date: October 23, 2015 To: Government Management Committee From: Chief Corporate Officer Wards: Ward 20 – Trinity Spadina Reference P:\2015\Internal Services\RE\Gm15038re (AFS #21976) Number: SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek authorization from City Council to commence proceedings for the expropriation of certain lands forming part of the condominium property known municipally as 228-230 Queens Quay West and certain lands located to the north (rear) of the condominium properties known municipally as 250-270 Queens Quay West. These lands are required for the reconstruction and realignment of the Gardiner Expressway's York/Bay/Yonge off ramp (the "Project") with a new ramp to Lower Simcoe Street. While discussions with the affected owner and condominium corporations are ongoing, it appears unlikely that satisfactory negotiated terms can be achieved, as the required land is directly part of, or subject to easements in favour of, condominium properties. Pursuant to the Condominium Act (Ontario), a condominium corporation is prohibited from selling part of the condominium's common elements unless at least 80% of the unit owners vote in favour of the sale and 80% of those persons with a registered claim against the property consent in writing to the sale. In order to release easements that benefit a condominium, a majority, or in some cases 80%, of the unit owners must approve the release. -

II AN EXPLORATION OF TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR CHANGE AFTER THE IMPLEMENATION OF CYCLE TRACKS IN TORONTO © Raymond Andrew Ziemba, 2015 Master of Planning in Urban Development Ryerson University ABSTRACT With the growing environmental, health and economic concerns associated with automobiles, municipalities are investing in cycling infrastructure. These new infrastructures are often assumed to facilitate a mode substitution effect, encouraging users to switch to active transportation. This study explores the impact of cycle tracks on travel behavior. A case study was conducted on Sherbourne Street, in the city of Toronto, that was redeveloped in 2012 to include cycle tracks, i.e., separated bicycle lanes. -

TORONTO PORT AUTHORITY (Doing Business As Portstoronto) MANAGEMENT's DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS – 2017 (In Thousands of Dolla
TORONTO PORT AUTHORITY (Doing Business as PortsToronto) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS – 2017 (In thousands of dollars) May 3, 2018 Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of the trends and significant changes in the results of operations and financial condition of the Toronto Port Authority, doing business as PortsToronto (the “Port Authority” or “TPA”) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Audited Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) and accompanying notes. Summary The Port Authority continued to be profitable in 2017. Net Income (excluding the gain on the sale of the 30 Bay Street/60 Harbour Street Property) for the year was $6,368, slightly down from $6,684 in 2016. This MD&A will discuss the reasons for changes in Net Income year over year, as well as highlight other areas impacting the Port Authority’s financial performance in 2017. The Port Authority presents its financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The accounting policies set out in Note 2 of the Financial Statements have been applied in preparing the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, and in the comparative information presented in these Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. Introduction The TPA was continued on June 8, 1999 as a government business enterprise under the Canada Marine Act as the successor to the Toronto Harbour Commissioners. The Port Authority is responsible for operating the lands and harbour it administers in the service of local, regional and national social and economic objectives, and for providing infrastructure and services to marine and air transport to facilitate these objectives. -
