PG16.16 - Request to Include Transit Priorities in the Official Plan Review

Committee Recommendations
The Planning and Growth Management Committee recommends that:
1. City Council request that the Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director of City Planning work collaboratively with the Toronto Transit Commission to develop a list of transit priorities, to be approved by City Council, and that these priorities be included in the Official Plan review.
Origin
Summary
Over the past several months there have been many discussions about transit in Toronto and in the Greater Toronto Area. The Executive Committee passed a motion entitled: Moving Forward: Improving Public Transit and Relieving Traffic Congestion through a Regional Funding Strategy. The motion directs the City Manager to engage and participate with Metrolinx in establishing a funding strategy for the Metrolinx regional transit plan.
It is important that the City also considers its transit needs and develops a transit plan that supports its Official Plan. As the Official Plan is currently under review, I would request that the City, in conjunction with the Toronto Transit Commission, develop a list of transit priorities that would complete the current transit system.
