Bold street has been redesigning its streets to get redesigns support a broader cultural more people moving safely on transit, shift away from “cars vs. people” neighbourhoods on bicycles, and on their feet. With thinking and towards a new vision of bold new redesigns and pilot projects streets as shared spaces for people. About this Report Toronto is a city of neigh- bourhoods, which are often defined by main streets. But these streets are not just for moving cars, bikes, and transit. Beyond their transportation functions, main streets lined by storefronts, patios, and public spaces lend a unique character to a community. Streets connect places, and they also connect people. A great street redesign can transform a neighbourhood for the better. This report profiles five recently redesigned Great Streets in Toronto and uncovers some of their ingredients for success. It also features five future great streets, The Ones to Watch, that have great potential for revi- talization and change, with the right recipe. Toronto’s Great Streets 5 What makes a street great Toronto’s Great Streets does not rank or compare streets. Beyond ensur- ing safety for users, not all streets are designed for the same objec- tives. Some have been redesigned to improve mobility, while others prioritize foot traffic and placemaking.

  • Expropriation of Part of 228-230 Queens Quay West
    GM8.19 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Expropriation of Part of 228-230 Queens Quay West and Part of the Lands at the Rear of 250-270 Queens Quay West for the Reconstruction of the York/Bay/Yonge Off-ramp from the F.G. Gardiner Expressway Date: October 23, 2015 To: Government Management Committee From: Chief Corporate Officer Wards: Ward 20 – Trinity Spadina Reference P:\2015\Internal Services\RE\Gm15038re (AFS #21976) Number: SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek authorization from City Council to commence proceedings for the expropriation of certain lands forming part of the condominium property known municipally as 228-230 Queens Quay West and certain lands located to the north (rear) of the condominium properties known municipally as 250-270 Queens Quay West. These lands are required for the reconstruction and realignment of the Gardiner Expressway's York/Bay/Yonge off ramp (the "Project") with a new ramp to Lower Simcoe Street. While discussions with the affected owner and condominium corporations are ongoing, it appears unlikely that satisfactory negotiated terms can be achieved, as the required land is directly part of, or subject to easements in favour of, condominium properties. Pursuant to the Condominium Act (Ontario), a condominium corporation is prohibited from selling part of the condominium's common elements unless at least 80% of the unit owners vote in favour of the sale and 80% of those persons with a registered claim against the property consent in writing to the sale. In order to release easements that benefit a condominium, a majority, or in some cases 80%, of the unit owners must approve the release.

  • Urban Redevelopment and Soil Movement in Toronto Prepared By
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by YorkSpace Turning The Soil: Urban Redevelopment and Soil Movement In Toronto Prepared by: Nicolas Romeo Sabo Supervisors: Dr. Peter Mulvihill and Dr. Anders Sandberg July 1, 2017 A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nicolas R. Sabo Peter Mulvihill and Anders Sandberg MES Candidate Supervising Professors Abstract The goal of this major paper is to determine whether Toronto’s soil remediation, transport and redevelopment regime is sustainable – or whether unforeseen and dispersed factors will someday combine to form a disaster for the city’s urban environment. In order to address this question, the paper first examines a history of the city’s brownfields: In Toronto, brownfields are broadly known as vacant or underused properties that may have been contaminated by past land use, but which show potential for redevelopment. They are also major producers of both contaminated and clean fill, and the paper examines the policies which have shaped their definition, usage, and disposal. Following an examination of the state of the art in brownfield sciences in Ontario, Canada, and globally, the focus turns to the study of disasters. Taking cues from Barry Turner’s seminal book in disaster studies Man-Made Disasters, a disaster is “an event, concentrated in time and space, which threatens a society or a relatively self-sufficient subdivision of a society with major unwanted consequences as a result of the collapse of precautions that had hitherto been culturally accepted as adequate.” A situation in which construction-related soil stockpiles are depleted to the point that cost-effectiveness of importation comes into question, or in which rising prices cause an exodus of Toronto’s building potential, can therefore be rightly termed disasters.

  • General Manager Subway Construction Date
    TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. S7 Meeting Date June 4, 1968 From: General Manager Subway Construction Date: June 3, 1968 QUEEN STREET SUBWAY FOR STREETCAR OPERATION The Commission, at its meeting of February 8, 1966, approved advising the City of Toronto that it was prepared to co-operate in the study of a "transit facility in the downtown section of Queen Street" and approved advising the Metropolitan Council that the Commission proposes to undertake this study at a cost of $30,000.00, it being understood that the cost involved would form part of the capital cost of the project when approved. The General Secretary transmitted the above approval of the Commission to the City Clerk in a letter dated February 22, 1966, a copy of which is attached. In a letter dated November 2, 1966, a copy of which is attached, the Commission was advised by the Metropolitan Clerk that Metropolitan Council had adopted Clause No. 2 of Report No. 16 of the Transportation Committee, headed "Proposed Queen Street Subway", as amended. The recommendation of Clause No. 2 reads as follows, "It is recommended that the Metropolitan Council formally request the Toronto Transit Commission to complete their study of the physical aspects of the Queen Street tunnel as outlined in the Commission's letter of February 22, 1966, on the understanding that the required expenditure of $30,000.00 will form part of the capital cost of the project." The amendment to Clause No. 2 reads as follows, "The matter of the Queen Street tunnel being considered in relation to the question of the Queen-Greenwood Subway." In accordance with all the foregoing, plans were developed for a "transit facility in the downtown section on Queen Street", and in addition to this a preliminary examination was made of the downtown section in relation to it becoming part of the Queen-Greenwood Subway.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.
