Sidewalk Inventory



The sidewalk inventory provides information on the location of sidewalks along all transportation corridors within the City of Toronto limits. City centreline data was utilized as the base network while aerial photography (orthoimagery) captured in spring of 2015 was used to determine sidewalk presence. The sidewalk inventory is used by City staff in addition to others such as consultants hired by the City for various purposes (e.g. infrastructure planning, maintenance planning, safety studies, area specific studies, Environmental Assessments and Transportation Master Plans). The Essential Links Capital Program utilizes this inventory in order to identify and prioritize building of new sidewalk links.

 

There may be inaccuracies in the dataset due to human input errors, low visibility of some aerial photos and recent changes since the aerial photos were captured in 2015. Help us improve the accuracy of the inventory by reporting any errors to [Walking@Toronto.ca](mailto:Walking@Toronto.ca)

 

Data is limited to the City of Toronto geographical boundary

 

Dataset may not be based on the latest City of Toronto Street Centreline. Please use Toronto Centreline (TCL) road network, available on the Open Data Website, for the latest road network.

Bicycle Counts

Two separate data sets are available:

1\. Ongoing intersections counts:  these are cyclist counts that have been gathered at intersections in order to measure the amount of cycling traffic at certain locations.  These counts are typically done using automatic bike counters or by manual count.  This dataset is continually updated as additional counts are completed.

2\. One-time downtown screenline cyclist count:  This study was conducted in September, 2010 and is used as a baseline for tracking cyclist trends.  This Count provides data on how many cyclists are riding on downtown streets, when and where they are riding, and other characteristics about cyclists such as helmet use, gender, sidewalk riding, and whether the cyclist is transporting a passenger.

Casino Survey Results

Please see Readme file

In November 2012, City Council's Executive Committee requested the City Manager to seek the public's input on the establishment of a casino in Toronto. The City Manager engaged the firm DPRA to conduct the consultation with the public and stakeholders by the end of January 2013.

Public consultation is an important part of Council's decision making process. The consultation gathered input, including the public's views and opinions on a casino generally, on possible locations for a casino, and what the public would like Council to consider when making a decision on this matter.

Data collected is based on the Toronto Casino Feedback Form.

Web Map Services

The following published OGC compliant WMTS services facilitate access to live geospatial data from the City of Toronto. All WMTS services are in Web Mercator projection.  
## Orthorectified Aerial Imagery  
  
The following dataset provides access to the most current geometrically corrected (orthorectified) aerial photography for the City of Toronto. Previous year Orthoimagery is available through the links provided below.  
## Historic Aerial Imagery  
  
These datasets are all sourced from scans of the original black and white aerial photography. These images have not gone through the same rigorous process that current aerial imagery goes through to create a seamless orthorectified image, corrected for the changes in elevation across the City. Due to this, the spatial accuracy of these datasets varies across the City. Be aware that there are known issues with some regions of data due to issues with the source data. These datasets intended use is to show land use changes over time and other similar tasks. It is not suitable for sub-metre level accuracy feature collection and is provided “as-is”.
## Aerial LiDAR - Hillshade  
  
A hillshade is a hypothetical illumination of a surface by determining illumination values for each cell in a raster. It is calculated by setting a position for a hypothetical light source and calculating the illumination values of each cell in relation to neighboring cells. It can be used to greatly enhance the visualization of a surface for analysis or graphical display, especially when using transparency. The City of Toronto publishes hillshades in both bare earth (no above-ground features included), and full-feature. Bare Earth Full Feature

Water Billing by Ward

The annual amount of water billed in each ward is reported as well as the number of water accounts, both residential and commercial.

N.B. One cubic metre of water (m3) is 219.97 imperial gallons. Accounts with billing data less than 6,000m3/year are deemed to be residential and are billed on a tri-annual basis (For example a variety store would probably be considered "residential" ). Accounts with billing data greater than 6,000m3 per year are billed on a monthly basis and are deemed to be "commercial". Residential readings are taken three times a year and commercial readings are taken once a month. The data will be useful in trend analysis. Some accounts are not mapped to a political ward and therefore their consumption is not included. The excluded figures are small enough not to affect an overall trend analysis.


Ward - ward number 

Year - calendar year in yyyy format 

# Residential Accounts - number of accounts deemed residential 

Annual Residential Water Usage (m3) - annual residential usage in cubic metres (m3) 

Average Residential Usage (m3) - computed as Annual Residential Usage / # Residential Accounts

# Commercial Accounts - number of accounts deemed commercial 

Annual Commercial Water Usage (m3) - annual commercial usage in cubic metres (m3) 

Average Commercial Usage (m3) - computed as Annual Commercial Usage / # Commercial Accounts

Total Count - total annual residential usage

Core Service Review - Quantitative Data


To address Toronto's 2012 budget gap of $774 million, City Council has launched a review of all of its services and implemented a multi-year financial planning process. This data set contains the responses to the multiple- choice questions on the Core Services Review Public Consultation Feedback Form from members of the public. Approximately 13,000 responses were received (full and partial).

 

The consultation was held between May 11 and June 17, 2011. As a public consultation, respondents chose to participate, and chose which questions to answer. This produced a self-selected sample of respondents. The majority of the responses were from City of Toronto residents. There were some responses from GTA residents. City staff reviewed the data and removed personal information and input violating city policies (for example, contravenes the City's current anti-discrimination policy or confidentiality policy). The .SAV file may be viewed with Statistics software such as SPSS or SAS.
