On December 7, on a cold morning before the sunrise, hundreds of eager transit aficionados and riders gathered to launch Line 6, the Finch West Light Rail Transit. Opening a new, long-awaited transit line is a big moment for our City. We must ensure the new Finch West Light Rail Transit lives up to the promise of getting our City moving. The Finch West Finch West Light Rail Transit is projected to have 51,000 riders each day, and bring 230,000 people within walking distance of rapid transit. It will move generations of people across the northwest of our City, connecting them to jobs, education, family and friends with greater ease. It will help reduce congestion on our roads and help people choose transit over driving. To succeed at the above, the Finch West Finch West Light Rail Transit has to work well. It must be fast and convenient to use. Now that the Toronto Transit Commission has full operational control of the line, the City can help play a role in speeding it up. Transit riders and experts have rightly pointed out that the Finch West Light Rail Transit does not have the active signal priority that’s critical to the successful operation of surface-level rapid transit…

Councillor James Pasternak, Ward 6, York Centre, has submitted the following Administrative Inquiry: I am submitting this Administrative Inquiry (under Municipal Code §27-7.11) to obtain information, updates and details on the status of the City of Toronto application to the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund. In April 2024, the Province of Ontario announced the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund. The Fund is a $200 million capital funding program delivered by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (the Ministry) to revitalize existing sport and recreation infrastructure and support the construction of new facilities across the province. Stream 2 covered New Builds/Signature Builds. Under the guidelines, the City of Toronto was eligible to apply for funding under this program. The maximum grant would be capped at $10 million. What is not clear, is what project(s) the City of Toronto submitted as a priority and whether any funding was secured. The former interim Manager of Parks and Recreation said that the City received notice from the Province of Ontario that when the City’s application was received, funds from the infrastructure pro…

Following the Board’s consideration of the International Association of Public Transit (UITP)’s Asset Management Peer Review, direction was given to TTC staff to develop a plan to implement enhanced signal priority on all streetcar routes, in partnership with the City of Toronto. This motion provides further recommendations for TTC staff to explore additional measures to speed up streetcar lines, including signal timing adjustments at intersections, how parking and turning changes can help to cut through rush hour traffic, ensuring that stops are reasonably spaced, and looking at internal TTC policies that govern vehicle speeds. Through collaboration between the TTC and City of Toronto, we can continue to improve our streetcar network for every rider that depends on it.

The recent opening of Line 6 is an exciting and important addition to transit infrastructure in the City of Toronto. Line 6 will bring rapid transit options to more than 230,000 residents within walking distance and move more than 51,000 riders each weekday. It runs on a dedicated right-of-way along Finch Avenue West, from Finch West Station on TTC’s Line 1 (Yonge-University) to Humber Polytechnic’s North Campus at Humber College Station. To ensure its success, the Finch West LRT must be fast and convenient to use. The TTC Board must ensure it exhausts every opportunity to realize this vision of fast and convenient transit for our customers. As the TTC continues its soft opening of Line 6, there are opportunities to improve its performance and speed along the route by looking at more aggressive, active transit signal priority, increasing service frequency, and removing or changing internal TTC, City of Toronto and Metrolinx policies that affect vehicle speeds. The Board is also cognizant of the imminent opening of Line 5, slated for 2026, and seeks to ensure that all learnings from the opening of Line 6 are applied, as appropriate, to Line 5. It is critically important…

Toronto City Council has recognized that we are in a climate emergency and has committed the city to reach net zero by 2040. These goals cannot be achieved if the electricity supplied to the city by the Independent Electricity System Operator continues to get dirtier and more based on fossil fuels. On June 26 and 27, 2024, by 2024.MM19.9, City Council requested the Independent Electricity System Operator to work with the City of Toronto and Toronto Hydro to align the Integrated Regional Resource Plan for Toronto’s electricity system, and broader energy system planning and procurement, with the City’s 2040 target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by: a. phasing out gas-fired electricity generation at the Portlands Energy Centre by 2035, except in extreme, exceptional and emergency circumstances totalling less than 88 hours per year; b. rapidly increasing local renewable energy generation and storage, and maximizing cost-effective energy efficiency; c. empowering Toronto Hydro to act as Toronto’s electric Distribution System Operator to support development, integration, and utilization of distributed energy resources; and d. supporting a transformed electricity…
