Meeting notice from Metrolinx:

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

DUNDAS WEST-BLOOR MOBILITY HUB STUDY

Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is helping transform the way the region moves by championing and delivering mobility solutions for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).

Background

The Big Move, Metrolinx’s Regional Transportation Plan for the GTHA, imagines a future in which key transit stations become mobility hubs. Mobility hubs consist of major transit stations and the surrounding area. They serve a critical function in the regional transportation system as the origin, destination, or transfer point for a significant portion of trips. They are places of connectivity where different modes of transportation – from walking to riding transit – come together seamlessly and where there is an intensive concentration of working, living, shopping and/or playing.

The Dundas West-Bloor Mobility Hub Study

We are conducting a study on the proposed Dundas West-Bloor Mobility Hub. The study includes the development of a plan to better integrate existing GO Transit and TTC services, as well as provide a design foundation for future major upgrades to GO Transit and TTC service, and a stop on the Union-Pearson Air Rail Link.

The study builds closely on the findings of the Bloor-Dundas Avenue Study prepared by Brook McIlroy and commissioned by the City of Toronto in 2009.

The Open House

You’re invited to attend our open house to find out more about this study.

Date: Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Venue: Lithuanian House, 1573 Bloor Street West

COMMUNITY MEETING

Have your say on the 2011 City of Toronto Budget
Saturday, January 15, 2011 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Wallace Emerson Community Centre
1260 Dufferin Street

Dear Friends and Neighbours,
I am writing to invite the residents of Ward 18 to a public meeting to discuss the 2011 City of Toronto Budget.
It is my intention to use this meeting as an opportunity for local residents to share their thoughts on the city budget, including what local services and programs need to be maintained and/or improved.
As promised last fall to continuously engage local residents on important matters, I am very pleased to host this meeting that will include city staff. If you're unable to attend, there are other ways to make your voice heard and I would encourage you to visit http://www.toronto.ca/city_budget or contact my office directly about other meetings happening throughout the city.
Please come with your thoughts and ideas on how we can make our community a better place to live and work.
Sincerely,
Councillor Ana Bailão
Ward 18, Davenport
City of Toronto
