This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

  • New Track and Facilities
    Public Meeting #1 Welcome to the GO Expansion OnCorridor Program GO Expansion – New Track & Facilities TPAP Scan here to visit project site Proposed Layover & Train Storage Additional layover/storage yard facilities are required to accommodate service expansion. Layover/storage yards are strategically located throughout the rail network. Layover and storage facilities are necessary to achieve the targeted GO Expansion service levels by: • Reducing long-distance non-revenue trips. 3 • Accommodating train storage during off-peak hours. • Allowing trains to be routinely serviced and cleaned. Train Wash Facility • Providing flexibility for trains to operate more seamlessly across the network. A structure for cleaning the 4 5 exterior of trains, similar to a 2 drive-thru car wash. Progressive Maintenance Facility • A sheltered 400 metre long garage for train maintenance. 1 Exterior Interior Example of the Willowbrook Layover Facility, City of Toronto Layovers Facilities typically include: 3) Waste Management 1) Train Storage 4) Crew Services 2) Cleaning and Servicing 5) Track, Switches and Utilities Lincolnville Layover Facility GO Expansion – New Track & Facilities TPAP Scan here to visit project site Proposed Beach Layover Facility - City of Burlington To meet increasing service levels, the Beach Layover Facility is required for: • Storing trains during the day and night. • Reducing rail congestion on the Lakeshore West Corridor. • Serving as the terminus of electrification of the corridor.

  • (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.
