  • Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee
    Winter 2016-2017 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LIII No. 4 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee Friends and family, hikers, and Toronto Bruce Trail Club Conservation Committee members, about 75 in all, gathered at Limehouse Com- munity Hall on a beautiful early September Sunday. The occasion was the Grand Opening of a new Side Trail in memory of Todd Bardes, a dedicated and treasured Bruce Trail volunteer. Car and bus thru-hikes had been organized for the day to coincide with the early afternoon opening of the Trail. Peter Leeney, friend of Todd and currently Land Stewardship Director and past President of the Toronto Club, spoke of Todd's long history with the Bruce Trail. Todd joined the Bruce Trail Association in 1994 and had been actively involved with trail activities since 1996 both at the club level, the broader Board level, and most recently as President. In 2001 the Bruce Trail purchased the 39-acre Springle property just north of Limehouse. Todd and his wife, Christina, subsequently took on the role of Land Stewards. Existing ATV disturbance in the mead- owland portion of the property was an issue needing attention. Fellow Bruce Trail volunteer, Andrew Costley, came up with the idea of a community-based and monitored Side Trail through the meadow. Todd, along with support from other volunteers, wholeheartedly agreed, and through their efforts the Side Trail came to life. Andrew Costley, on behalf of all volunteers who knew Todd, spoke Hike Leader Training 2017 of him as a friend and mentor, providing both advice and leadership with wise and patient counsel.

  • Bus Bridging Decision-Support Toolkit: Optimization Framework and Policy Analysis
    Bus Bridging Decision-Support Toolkit: Optimization Framework and Policy Analysis by Alaa Itani A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Alaa Itani 2019 Bus Bridging Decision-Support Toolkit: Optimization Framework and Policy Analysis Alaa Itani Master of Applied Science Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Bus Bridging is the strategy most commonly applied in responding to rail service interruptions in North America and Europe. In determining the required number of buses and source routes, most transit agencies rely on ad-hoc approaches based on operational experience and constraints, which can lead to extensive delays and queue build-ups at affected stations. This thesis developed an optimization model, to determine the optimal number of shuttle buses and route allocation which minimize the overall subway and bus riders delay. The generated optimal solutions are sensitive to bus bay capacity constraints along the shuttle service corridor. The optimization model is integrated with a previously developed simulation tool that tracks the evolution of system queues and delays throughout the bus bridging process. A set of bus bridging policy guidelines were developed based on further analysis of the optimization model outputs using a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) model. ii Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank my parents and for their continuous support and trust in my abilities. Although they were thousands of miles away, they were always supportive, I couldn’t have made it here without their presence.

  • Enhanced Eglinton West Rapid Transit Initial Business Case Analysis
    APPENDIX 4 ENHANCED EGLINTON WEST RAPID TRANSIT INITIAL BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS JUNE 2016 Cover Image: Marcus Bowman TABLE OF CONTENTS Problem Statement II 1.0 Introduction 1 2.0 Context 2 3.0 Study Overview 4 4.0 Strategic Case 9 5.0 Financial Case 18 6.0 Economic Case 20 7.0 Deliverability and Operations Case 23 8.0 Next Steps 25 Appendix 26 I PROBLEM STATEMENT The implementation of the Mississauga BRT, Eglinton Crosstown Phase 1, as well as Union Pearson Express and RER connections at Mt. Dennis will bring vital rapid transit improvements to the Eglinton corridor and the region, but will also leave a key gap in the rapid transit network along Eglinton West between Mt. Dennis and Renforth Gateway. The corridor provides an opportunity for a connection to Pearson Airport and surrounding employment by linking communities, people, and jobs to and along the Mississauga BRT and Eglinton LRT. An Environmental Assessment was completed in 2010 for an at- grade LRT through the corridor with 14 stops along Eglinton Ave at all cross roads. In the context of current planning work being coordinated between Metrolinx and the City of Toronto there is a need to develop feasible options to optimize the 2010 EA design and understand their various benefits to different users and travel patterns. II INITIAL BUSINESS CASE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Eglinton West: A Gap in the Regional Rapid Transit Network The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area’s Regional Transportation Plan, The Big Move, was adopted in 2008 and set out a 25-year vision for supporting growth in the region.

The new stations are: • Downsview Park Station • Finch West Station • York University Station • Pioneer Village Station • Highway 407 Station • Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station This report recommends changes to the existing bus routes near the new subway service in order to connect customers to the new rapid transit stations and improve their journey times.

Bus routes in the Keele Avenue and Finch Avenue West area will provide new connections to the bus terminal at Finch West Station. The majority of TTC bus services at York Commons in York University will relocate to the bus terminal at Pioneer Village Station. Transit partners in York Region Transit/Viva, Brampton Transit, and GO Transit will provide new connections to the stations in York Region, at Pioneer Village Station, Highway 407 Station, and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station.
