  • (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.

The study has been carried out as a Schedule C project in compliance with the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) document Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Act (October 2000 as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This Class Environmental Assessment provides the detailed assessment to define the solution and design of improvements within the study area. Problem s In the Highway 50 and Mayfield Road study corridor there is a high level of congestion with existing traffic. The volumes are forecast to increase greatly in the coming years due to planned developments, and additional road capacity is needed to serve new development planned in the immediate area along with general traffic growth, by 2031. Currently, only the automobile is accommodated in the study area. There is a lack of sidewalks and bicycle facilities along the corridors. There is no infrastructure (e.g. bus shelter / pads, priority measures) to support transit service.
