ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS. Upper Unionville Inc. project shall complement the Region’s overall inflow and infiltration reduction program Site is within the approved Berczy Village Secondary Plan and requires both zoning and plan of subdivision approval prior to development Applying Planning Principles from the Regional Plan provides opportunity for enhanced sustainable housing
1) Community design ensuring walkability through interconnected & accessible mobility systems which prioritizes walking, cycling and transit through: • walkability of the community by situating all neighbourhood centre parkettes within 3 minute walk and active recreation opportunities within 10 minute walk • provision of greenway sidewalks along collector roads & desirable routes • walkway blocks allow for enhanced linkages and access – shortcuts provide benefits to walking • sidewalks on all streets • urban block lengths providing for compact development • enhanced access to public transit – pedestrian scaled and microclimate sensitive bus stops • bicycle network provided on all collector roads with connections to arterial roads
2) Provision of mixed use live/work options
3) Provision of bioswales to enhance infiltration
4) Compact form achieving a density of approximately 65 residents/ha. The key components of community design are generally met through this proposal. Through the plan of subdivision process, staff will work further with the developer and the builders to achieve additional sustainable components for the lots and buildings such as those that are contained within the Region’s Sustainable Home Incentive Program (SHIP). The developer has already indicated they will achieve: • Higher energy efficiency through ENERGY STAR® compliance. • Solar orientation of street blocks and homes. Staff will continue to work with the developer to include additional measures to achieve sustainable buildings. In particular, the inclusion of the water efficient fixtures and appliances, increased topsoil (6 inches), will be pursued at a minimum in order to meet the 10% greater water efficiency than the Ontario Building Code policy contained in the new Regional Official Plan. Water efficiency can also be achieved through draught resistant landscaping and sod, which can reduce outdoor water use and eliminate the need for outdoor irrigation systems. This proposed development also presents an opportunity to test the achievability of the various components of the SHIP program through the subdivision process. High quality ur...

It is proposed the Operation and Maintenance Agreement for this work be similar to those agreements previously executed with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) for traffic control signals on Provincial Highways and the Canadian Highways Management Corporation (CHMC) for traffic control signals at the Highway 407 ramp terminals. The following points outline the major terms of the proposed Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Highway 50 from Steeles Avenue to Xxxxxxxx Road: • The Region of Peel will operate and maintain traffic control signals. • The Region of Peel is responsible for all necessary repairs, replacement, inspection, cleaning and re-xxxxxxx of the traffic control signals. • The Region of York will reimburse the Region of Peel 50% of the operation and maintenance costs and expenses based on the costs and expenses attributable to the operation and maintenance of similar traffic control signals located in the Region of Peel. • The Region of Peel will submit invoices to the Region of York, based on the estimated cost of operation and maintenance. Billings will be adjusted annually to reflect the actual costs to the Region. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time, provided that satisfactory alternative arrangements are made for the operation and maintenance of the traffic control signals.
ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS. 4.1 Re-negotiating current MAA’s
ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS. Currently, there are five routes operating from the Promenade Bus Terminal daily. These five routes involve the operation of 24 buses, which move 6,200 passengers each day. Many of these passengers board, alight and transfer at the Promenade Bus Terminal. Buses operating from the terminal provide service to York Central Hospital, Seneca College King Campus, Hillcrest Mall, Xxxxxx Subway Station, York University, Xxxxx Station and the Bramalea City Centre. These services also benefit the Promenade Shopping Mall and the Xxxxxxxxx Community as a whole. The Promenade Bus Terminal provides bus turn-around and recovery time for schedule adherence, convenient and accessible customer transfers, amenities such as large enclosed shelters and a pay phone, and is a short distance to the Promenade Shopping Mall. If the Region does not enter into this agreement with the City of Xxxxxxx, new property will have to be sought by the Region to construct another terminal, or new on- street facilities will have to be constructed. On-street facilities do not allow for bus turn around and layover positions would be limited. It would be difficult to construct an on- street facility that could accommodate the volume of buses currently operating out of the terminal and provide the same amenities. In addition, the Promenade Shopping Mall itself may not be as well served. The term of the agreement is from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2010. If the option is granted by the City, the lease agreement would be extended through to December 31, 2020. In the event the City requires the property for its own purposes, the City has the right to terminate the lease upon one year’s notice to the Region. The Region’s primary responsibilities under the agreement are that it will maintain the property, including the maintenance of walkways and bus shelters, snow and ice removal and garbage collection at its own expense. Throughout the term of the lease, the Region will provide and keep in force comprehensive general liability insurance in the amount of $5,000,000 naming the City as insured. The City of Xxxxxxx will likewise name the Region as insured under its policy.

ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS. The current agreement between the Region and the TTC expires on November 24, 2012. The agreement contains an option to renew the agreement for an additional five-year term to November 24, 2017. Negotiations were held and some practical adjustments to the agreement were achieved. The terms and conditions of the agreement will remain the same with the following key amendments: • Overall cost has been reduced as the capital component for the construction of the terminal has been removed. • YRT/Viva Enforcement staff will have permission to enter the Xxx Xxxxx bus terminal property and enforce the Region’s transit by-law. • Addition of YRT/Viva PRESTO devices to list of equipment that can be accessed by YRT/Viva staff or YRT/Viva contractors at the station. The existing agreement, which expires later this year, indicates that the Region is to compensate the TTC for a share of the costs associated with maintenance and licensing. The maintenance costs include cleaning, maintenance, utilities, etc. and totals approximately $68,000 per year. The license fee, in the amount of approximately $59,000, is for a share of the initial net capital cost for the platforms and third-party use. The existing total cost is approximately $127,000 per year. As part of the negotiations of a five-year extension, agreement has been reached to remove the license fee as the capital cost has been recovered by the TTC in the existing agreement. This reduces the annual cost by approximately $59,000. The total annual cost under the proposed agreement totals $69,413 plus applicable taxes. This is a reduction of approximately 55 per cent from current fees. • 2011 to 2015 Strategic Plan- Providing convenient access to the subway station is in keeping with the Plan’s objective to make Regional services more user-friendly • The 2013 YRT/Viva Annual Service Plan – The Plan identifies continued use of the Xxx Xxxxx Station for both Route 90/90B and Viva Green. The services are scheduled to be adjusted to improve service reliability and match customer demand.
