City of Toronto Act (COTA) Consultation, 2015

In June 2015, the Province of Ontario launched a review of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (COTA), as required by legislation. As part of the review, the Province sought input from municipalities, organizations, and residents. To help make sure the Province heard from Torontonians during this review, the City of Toronto conducted a public consultation between October 21 and November 6, 2015 including a public meeting and an online survey. The purpose of posting this data set is to create a record of the consultation and the public's input.  
  
 **Public Meeting**

  * A public meeting on the City of Toronto Act (COTA) was hosted on October 28, 2015
  * 17 participants attended
  * The public meeting included an Open House with subject matter experts available to provide information on City Council's requested COTA amendments; and an opportunity for members of the public to provide feedback and comments via an open mic



  
**Online Survey**

  * The online survey was posted to the City of Toronto Act (COTA) Consultation and the City's Get Involved public consultation web pages. The survey was open between October 21 and November 6, 2015.
  * The survey was open to anybody who chose to complete it and therefore, the sample of those who completed it and their opinions should be not be viewed as statistically representative of the residents of Toronto. This information was collected to assist the City to better understand the positions and interests of Torontonians.
  * A total of 28 responses were received.
  * The data was not statistically weighted.
  * The online survey provided a link to the amendment requests approved by council as context: [Amendment Request PDF](http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2015/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-83511.pdf)

Bridges, Elevated Roadways, and Culverts in Toronto

**This data set is retired. A new data set replaces at: [Bridge Structure](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/bridge-structure)**


The dataset contains bridges, elevated roadways, and culverts information and their location information. The dataset is limited to the City of Toronto geographical boundary. The dataset is presented in two formats as ESRI Point Shapefile and accessible MS Excel file. Each record in the datasets has Structure Id, Structure Type, Structure Class, Location Description, Ownership, Year Built, Steward, Category, Ward No, District No, and Contact Information. With each record, there are 2 sets of coordinates identifying the location in WGS1984 datum Longitude & Latitude coordinate system and NAD1927 datum (1974 adjustment) & projected in 3 degree modified transverse mercator (3MTM) zone10 coordinate system.

For the purpose of providing information in this dataset, the term 'structure' is defined as constructed items that are used by the public in the City of Toronto (City). This dataset provides information about the following structures: Bridges with the span of 3 metres or more, Culverts with an opening of 3 metres or more, and the Elevated Components of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway.

This dataset contains the City's Transportation Services (TS) fully or partially owned structures, City's Parks, Forestry & Recreation Services (PFRS) owned structures, Toronto & Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) owned structures managed by PFRS, and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) owned structures in the City. The information associated with structures was retrieved from the data sources from the City's TS Bridge Management System, City's PFRS Assets Management System, and MTO published bridge data from Ontario Open Data.

The historical version of the dataset (project's Phase-1) has been published to the City of Toronto Open Data catalogue under 'Transportation' category with the title 'Transportation Division Bridge Data'. Historical version access link: [Transportation Division Bridge Data](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/transportation-division-bridge-data)

Users who need updated and new information related to bridges, elevated roadways, and culverts should refer to the current version of the dataset published to the Open Data catalogue with the title as 'Bridges, Elevated Roadways, and Culverts in Toronto'.

Bloor Street Bike Lanes Feedback Survey


Results of the Bloor Street Bike Lanes Feedback Survey #2, which was online for public input from December 13, 2016 to May 4, 2017, and received 14,078 completed responses.

In late August 2016, the City of Toronto installed bike lanes on Bloor Street West between Shaw Street (east of Ossington Avenue) and Avenue Road.  The bike lanes were a pilot project to be monitored and evaluated for at least one year.  Results will be reported to Council with recommendations on whether the pilot bike lanes should be maintained, modified, or removed.

This online feedback survey is a key part of the evaluation that recorded public perception of the bike lanes and their impacts and benefits to all street users, local businesses, and the community.  

This survey is not a vote. Public and stakeholders opinions, along with technical and policy considerations will all be used to inform City staff recommendations and decisions to be made by City Council.

Respondents could choose to just do the "Short Answer" to record their level of support for the project and then skip to the last page,  or to do additional optional questions.  The full survey included multiple questions about issues based on recorded stakeholder type (e.g. only respondents who checked "Bicycle" in mode of travel question (Q5) saw the optional questions related to cycling perspective, and the same for drivers and business representatives).

The survey was available in English and Korean.

A small number of survey responses (less than a dozen) were received on paper or by phone, and entered in by City staff.

The data published here includes completed surveys only, i.e. respondents answered the required stakeholder type questions (Q1 & Q5) and key "Short Answer" opinion questions (Q6-8), and clicked "submit" on the last page.   

To protect for privacy, open ended text answers have not been included in this open data set, except for the first three digits of postal code.

Businesses name and address responses are not included in results table, but are provided in a separate "List of Participating Businesses" spreadsheet independent of the opinions recorded.

The results include some additional columns of categorization and cleaning of data based on analysis by Public Consultation Unit staff.  This included confirmation and cleaning of business address, ensuring people with disabilities were effectively counted (under [q5_trvl] Mobility Aid), added "Uber" to the "taxi" category, based on responses to Q5 "other" category, and added a "local" column for "residents" within postal codes M5R, M5S & M6G and "businesses" within 100m of the bike lane.

Near-term Cycling Program

Toronto's Cycling Network Plan consists of three components: a Long-Term Cycling Network Vision, the Major City-Wide Cycling Routes, and a three-year rolling Near-Term Implementation Program. For more information about the plan, visit [Cycling Network Plan](https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/cycling-in-toronto/cycling-pedestrian-projects/cycling-network-plan/).

The approach of a rolling three-year near-term implementation program is flexible and adaptable to the realities of infrastructure planning and capital coordination. The process of bringing forward routes from the Long-Term Vision to the Near-Term Program is shared through the Prioritization Framework. The framework includes the cycling service assessment illustrated in the long-term vision; strategic alignment with the state-of-good-repair road program, health and wellness analyses, road safety focus areas, and planning focus areas; and takes into account the feasibility, complexity, and delivery methods of proposed design options. The framework applies an equity lens, which is informed by stakeholder engagement, geographic distribution, and a neighbourhood cycling and equity index.

The Near-term Cycling Program identifies projects in the following categories:

• Underway: Projects with design or construction underway, expected to be complete within the near-term program

• New: Proposed routes expected to be complete within the near-term program, pending detailed design, consultation and approvals 

• Renew: Major enhancements or upgrades to existing routes, expected to be complete within the near-term program

• Study: Proposed routes requiring review of parallel options or substantial feasibility challenges; some may be achievable within the near-term program, while others will extend beyond the near-term for installation, pending study results 

• Approved for Future Implementation: Major growth projects with approved Environmental Assessments expected to be complete beyond the near-term program

The 2022-2024 and 2025-2027 near-term cycling programs are available to download. To view a map of completed bikeway projects, please visit [toronto.ca/cycling](https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/cycling-in-toronto/).

Major City-Wide Cycling Routes

There are a number of significant corridors that cross Toronto from east to west and north to south, where high order cycling infrastructure has been installed, or is underway, or planned. These Major City-Wide Cycling Routes support a connected system across the Greater Toronto Area by linking with other cycling routes in neighbouring municipalities. These cycling routes complement those identified in broader Provincial and City Plans including the Metrolinx Regional Cycling Network Plan and TOcore.

The network of Major City-Wide Cycling Routes consists of approximately 500 centreline km. Before the adoption of the 2019 Cycling Network Plan Update, there were about 170 km of Major City-Wide Routes in place. By the end of 2024, approximately 230 km will be in place, or 46% of the network. 

The type of study needed for each corridor will take different forms for different streets depending on the corridor’s complexity of current and future uses, and the associated impacts. Some routes may include analysis of parallel streets to confirm the most feasible alignment of the route. All studies will be undertaken with a Complete Streets and Vision Zero approach to road safety, and all projects include public consultation and stakeholder engagement before seeking Council approval to install.
