  • Exhibition Place Master Plan – Phase 1 Proposals Report
    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

  • Improving Transit Service Options to Major Music Festivals
    Attachment 1 For Action Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Date: May 8, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Operating Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to respond to the Board’s request to report on how the TTC plans and co-ordinates service to special events, including major music festivals. Recommendations It is recommended that the Board: 1. Receive the report for information; and 2. Direct staff to forward this report to Councillor Mike Layton, City of Toronto Transportation Services, Toronto Music Advisory Council, Exhibition Place, Ontario Place and Metrolinx for information. Financial Summary This report has no financial impact. The Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information. Equity/Accessibility Matters The TTC has made significant progress in providing barrier-free, accessible transit services for all customers. Presently, all TTC bus services are operated using accessible, low-floor buses. New low-floor streetcars are currently being deployed and all routes will have accessible streetcars by 2019. All subway stations will be accessible by 2025. By providing public transit services to special events the TTC encourages and supports more spontaneous trip-making, which is an important part of making the conventional system attractive to potential new customers, such as Wheel-Trans registrants who are taking advantage of the TTC’s Family of Services, and to all travellers in Toronto. This Improving Transit Service to Major Music Festivals Page 1 of 5 supports the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) objectives of more- spontaneous travel options for customers with disabilities, and the City’s Poverty Reduction Strategy of making transit more accessible and attractive to everyone.

  • 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.

  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register -1627 Danforth Avenue
    ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - 1627 Danforth Avenue Date: April 4, 2019 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 19 – Beaches-East York SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The site contains a complex known historically as the Danforth Carhouse, which is currently owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It was developed beginning in 1914 by the Toronto Civic Railways (TCR), expanded by the Toronto Transportation Commission (forerunner to today's TTC) and the TTC and currently used as offices and staff facilities for TTC personnel. In 2015, City Council requested that the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue be researched and evaluated for inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. It has been identified for its potential cultural heritage value in the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (2018). It is the selected site for a police station consolidating 54 and 55 Divisions. The property at 1627 Danforth Avenue is part of a Master Plan study being undertaken by CreateTO to guide the redevelopment of the site as a multi-use civic hub for the Toronto Transit Commission, the Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Public Library as the key anchor tenants, which will incorporate and adaptively reuse the Danforth Carhouse. RECOMMENDATIONS The Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design City Planning recommends that: 1. City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning.

  • 125 Years of Toronto Streetcars
    125 YEARS OF TORONTO STREETCARS UPPER CANADA RAILWAY SOCIETY BOX 122 STATION "A" TORONTO, ONTARIO One of the Belgian streetcars which recently began running on a new line at the Grand Cypress Resort near Orlando, Florida. See article 'The End of an Era' in this issue. , --John Fleck Gulf Pulp & Paper Co. 0-6-0 38, on display at Mount Forest, Ont., after being bought by Christian Bell Porcelain. Further details in Feb. 1986 NEWSLETTER. Photo taken April 26, 1986. McCarten lP NFTA LRV 125 has been turned into the world's newest and fanciest 'streetcar diner' outside Hoak's Armor Inn, Hamburg, N.Y. The car was dropped and damaged irreparably while being deliverd to the NFTA shops in Buffalo; a replacement 125 was subsequently built and delivered and the '1st 125', which never turned a wheel in revenue service, was sold to this restaurant, probably for use as a cocktail lounge. July 28, 1986. McCarten SEPTEMBER 1986 3 Years of Urban Rail Transit in Tnronto On Sept. 11, 1986 we think back to the equivalent date in 1861, when Canada's first urban rail passenger service commenced operation: a horsecar service provided by the Toronto Street Railway Company. Mr. Alexander Easton of Philadelphia, a public transit entrepreneur of the day, obtained a 30-year franchise to operate animal powered streetcar service from the City of Toronto on March 26, 1861. The TSR was organized in May of that year with A. Easton as President and Alexander Bleekly and Daniel Smith as Directors. The franchise provided for service on at least a 30-minute headway, with the daily operating period to be 16 hours a day in summer and 14 hours a day in winter (the spring and fall seasons do not appear to have been recognized).

  • King Street Pilot Monitoring and Evaluation
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED King Street Transit Pilot: Monitoring and Evaluation Date: October 16, 2017 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to inform the TTC Board of the benchmarks of success for the King Street Transit Pilot, as directed at the June 15, 2017 TTC Board meeting. The King Street Transit Pilot will improve priority for transit vehicles along the King Street corridor, between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street. At its June 15, 2017 meeting, the TTC Board approved support for the proposed King Street Transit Pilot, and City Council approved the implementation of the pilot at its July 6, 2017 Council meeting. The target implementation date for the pilot is November 2017. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop performance metrics and an overall monitoring program for the King Street Transit Pilot. The program will provide a means for responding to operational issues during the pilot, and provide a method for evaluating the overall success of the pilot. The success of the King Street Transit Pilot Project will be defined by improvements to transit performance informed primarily by three metrics: reliability, ridership and travel times. Transit performance represents one important element of the overall pilot. As part of the broader evaluation and monitoring program, information will be collected on a wide range of other criteria such as vehicles (including volumes, travel times, intersection delay), changes in active transportation, impacts on safety for all modes, curbside space utilization (including deliveries), taxi operations, changes in both on-street and off-street parking activity, changes in economic activity and local business operations, compliance and enforcement, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, use of the public realm, and public opinion.
