  • 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.

INTRODUCTION [1] This Official Plan (“OP”) dispute involved a new multi-billion-dollar vision for over a kilometre of Toronto’s urban waterfront. [2] "Mimico-by-the-Lake" (the “Study Area"), so named by the City of Toronto ("the City"), faces a southward bend in Lake Ontario west of the Humber River and Mimico Creek. The shore, running north-south at that point, has a strip of reclaimed parkland crossed by the Martin Goodman Trail ("the trail"). The Study Area straddles Lake Shore Boulevard West, and extends to the trail. Its visually strategic location is southwest of an existing kilometre-long redevelopment – Humber Bay Shores (formerly part of "the Motel Strip" between Lake Ontario and the Gardiner Expressway), called the Study Area’s “fraternal twin” which is subject to its own vetted planning documents.

    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 41 and 47 Fraser Avenue and 135 Liberty Street Date: October 8, 2020 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 10 - Spadina - Fort York SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the listed heritage properties that contains significant built heritage resources at 41 Fraser Avenue, 47 Fraser Avenue and 135 Liberty Street (including the entrance addresses at 39, 47A, 49, 49A, 53 and 53A Fraser Avenue and 38 and 42 Pardee Avenue), formerly known as E. W. Gillett Co. Ltd. factory complex, under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Originally developed as a single property known as 41 Fraser Avenue, the properties occupy the north end of the block and are bound by Fraser Avenue, Liberty Street and Pardee Avenue on the west, north and east sides respectively. They contain a large complex of industrial buildings including the original, four-storey factory, two-storey office building and one-storey powerhouse, all constructed in 1911-12.

  • Bus Lane Implementation Plan
    2045.5 For Action Bus Lane Implementation Plan Date: July 14, 2020 To: TTC Board From: Chief Strategy & Customer Officer Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the TTC is a vital service in Toronto providing transportation to essential destinations including employment, healthcare, groceries and pharmacies. Although TTC ridership may be down to 22% of pre-pandemic levels, the TTC continues to serve hundreds of thousands of customer-trips on a daily basis. We also have learned through this pandemic, that bus customers have relied on our services the most - 36% of the customers that used buses prior to COVID-19 are still using the system as compared to 19% of subway customers, as of the week ending June 26. As the city and GTHA re-opens and recovery begins, it is expected that people who have the resources and option to, will return to private vehicles, taxis or private transportation companies (PTCs) more quickly than to transit in order to maintain physical distance from others. The TTC’s surface transit network plays a critical role in moving people around Toronto and we must enhance its attractiveness to ensure it continues to provide a viable alternative to the automobile. A key initiative to achieve this is the implementation of bus transit lanes, which will provide customers with a safe, reliable and fast service. The TTC’s 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook identified a 20-point action plan including Action 4.1 Explore Bus Transit Lanes. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop the following prioritization and implementation plan for the five corridors identified in the Plan.
