City Council Decision

City Council on June 7, 8 and 9, 2016, adopted the following:

 

1.  City Council adopt, in principle, the Ten Year Cycling Network Plan as outlined in the report (May 3, 2016) from the General Manager, Transportation Services and mapped by district in Appendices 1 to 4 to the report (May 3, 2016) from the General Manager, Transportation Services, excluding the proposed Major Corridor Studies except those currently underway as noted below, with implementation of individual projects in this plan subject to future City Council approval, as appropriate.

 

Major Corridor Studies currently underway:

 

a.  Bloor-Dupont, between Keele Street and Sherbourne Street, to be informed by the resultsof the proposed 2016 pilot project;

 

b.  Yonge Street, between Finch Avenue to Sheppard Avenue, in conjunction with a streetscape study; and

 

c.  Yonge Street, between Bloor Street and Front Street, in conjunction with the RevitalizingYonge - Downtown Yonge Street Functional Street Design Study.

 

2.  City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to initiate an extension of the Major Corridor Study on Yonge Street, currently underway from Sheppard Avenue to Finch Avenue, to include Finch Avenue to Steeles Avenue in 2017 as a separate study.

 

3.  City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to bring forward recommendations for the initiation of a Major Corridor Study on Danforth Avenue at the same time as when Council considers the findings on the Bloor Street West Bike Lane Pilot Project in the third quarter of 2017, and to direct the General Manager, Transportation services to work with City Planning to consider cycling infrastructure as part of the currently underway Danforth Avenue Planning Study, so that they might inform one another.

 

4.  City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to evaluate Complete Street initiatives as part of the Danforth Major Corridor Study such that needs of all users of Danforth Avenue including cyclists, pedestrians, motorists, transit users, Seniors, people with mobility issues, and local businesses, are considered.

 

5.  City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to consider, as part of the annual capital and operating budget process, the capital funding required to implement the proposed Ten Year Cycling Network Plan at a rate of $16 million dollars annually as outlined in Scenario 3 in Appendix 8 to the report (May 3, 2016) from the General Manager, Transportation Services, as well as the operating budget required to fund the maintenance costs of newly constructed cycling infrastructure.

 

6.  City Council authorize the General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake detailed design and public consultation required to deliver cycling infrastructure projects contained within the Ten Year Cycling Network Plan.

 

7.  City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake a review of the Ten Year Cycling Network Plan in two years, with a report back to Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, in the fourth quarter of 2018, regarding implementation progress and a review of project timing, potential increase in funding levels and recommendations for the initiation of additional Major Corridor Studies including a strategy for funding and implementation of the Eglinton Crosstown bikeway.

 

8.  City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, as part of the Cycling Network Plan objective to renew existing routes where there are opportunities to improve their safety and quality, to:

 

a.  undertake updated cycling counts for Dundas Street East in 2016 and, working with the area Councillors and local community, consider improvements to the Dundas Street East bicycle lanes such as updated lane markings, intersection improvements, green markings and opportunities for separation such as bollards; and

 

b.  increase the area of study for public consultation purposes for the Riverdale neighbourhood in Ward 30. 

 

9.  City Council direct that if, and when, federal and provincial funding programs are secured for cycling infrastructure, such monies be "in addition to" rather than a replacement of City funding commitments.

 

10.  City Council direct the City Manager to include cycling infrastructure in the upcoming request for federal funding for active transportation funding, such funding not to conflict with our public transit funding request.

 

11.  City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, as part of the implementation of the Bicycle Parking Strategy, to consult with the Director, Urban Design, City Planning and the cycling community, regarding best practices in architecture and design for new buildings to ensure that cycling access and egress from City streets to indoor and outdoor bicycle parking is efficient, safe and user-friendly.

 

12.  City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to report to Public Works and Infrastructure on the possibility of the use of seasonal cycle tracks in fourth quarter of 2016.

Origin

(May 3, 2016) Report from the General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

The Ten Year Cycling Network Plan will serve as a comprehensive roadmap and workplan, outlining the City's planned investments in cycling infrastructure over 2016-2025. This report provides an overview of the process undertaken to develop the Ten Year Cycling Network Plan and describes five implementation options for consideration in the 2017 Capital Budget process.

 

The Ten Year Cycling Network Plan will build on the City's existing network of cycling routes by identifying potential cycling network projects to fulfill the project mandate:

 

-  Connect the gaps in our existing Cycling Network;

-  Grow the Cycling Network into new parts of the City; and

-  Renew the existing Cycling Network routes, to improve their quality.

 

Since November 2014, a significant amount of cycling impact analysis as well as public and stakeholder consultation has been undertaken. Extensive field work to inform new route feasibility assessments was undertaken to identify the proposed routes.

 

The proposed Ten Year Cycling Network Plan identifies approximately 525 centreline kilometres (km) of new infrastructure (if counted in each lane direction, more than 1000 lane km).  This proposed new network includes;

 

-  280 centreline km of bicycle lanes or cycle tracks on Fast, Busy Streets

-  55 centreline km of sidewalk-level boulevard trails along Fast, Busy Streets

-  190 centreline km of cycling routes along Quiet Streets

 

Included within this proposed network are approximately 100 centreline km along eight arterial roadways (split into seventeen segments) for which Major Corridor Studies would be undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of bicycle lanes or cycle tracks.

 

The deliverables recommended in this report represent the outcome of cycling impact analysis, feasibility analysis, capital works coordination and consultation. Subject to the approval of the recommendations from this report, Transportation Services would initiate the studies, detailed design and public consultation required to deliver the cycling infrastructure projects contained in the Ten Year Cycling Network Plan. At the time that each proposed project is scheduled to be initiated, Transportation Services would work with local area councillors and undertake public consultation as part of the detailed design process and report back to Public Works and Infrastructure Committee for approval, as required.
