The Meeting included a presentation, an Open House and a Question/Answer (Q/A) session. The meeting also introduced the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion project. The purpose of the second public meeting was to share the results of the environmental and technical studies that were completed for the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP), to identify key areas of public interest regarding the preliminary design, and to obtain additional community feedback during the TPAP 120-day regulated timeline before issuing the Notice of Completion for the project. The main comments received relate to potential impacts such as: • Increased noise and vibration, • Effect on adjacent properties, • Increased road traffic including pedestrian and cycling flow. We have identified mitigation measures to minimize any potential impacts, as outlined in the Environmental Project Report (EPR). These measures will be implemented and monitored for their effectiveness during the pre-construction, construction and operation phases of the new Caledonia GO Station. All public comments received during the course of the pre-TPAP and TPAP consultation activities were carefully reviewed and taken into consideration in the EPR. The EPR will be finalized and posted for a 30 calendar-day review period upon the issuance of the Notice of Completion. The Notice of Completion will be posted in the in the Bloor West Villager and York Guardian newspapers on February 25 and March 3, 2016 and circulated to stakeholders. 4 Caledonia GO Station Public Meeting #2 Summary Report 1. Introduction Metrolinx is planning for a new GO Station on the Barrie rail corridor in the City of Toronto. The Caledonia GO Station (herein referred to as “the Project” or “new GO Station”) will be located at Eglinton Avenue West and Croham Road (west of Caledonia Road), where the future Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) line intersects with the Metrolinx GO Barrie rail corridor. Figure 1 illustrates the Study Area for the TPAP as well as the Project Area (area of development) for the new GO Station. The new GO Station will be integrated with the Crosstown Station, adding regional connectivity between GO Transit, the ECLRT and the Toronto Transit Commission. The environmental impacts of building a new GO Station are being assessed according to the TPAP, as prescribed in Ontario Regulation (O.Reg.) 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. The preparation of the Public Meeting #2 Summary Report is to document part of Metrolinx’s consultation efforts during the TPAP period. This report, along with the Public Meeting # 1 Summary Report for the pre-TPAP period will form part of the Stakeholder Consultation Report, which is included as a component of the final EPR. Figure 1: Study Area and Project Area 5 Caledonia GO Station Public Meeting #2 Summary Report 2. Summary of Public Meeting Format and Consultation Methods On Tuesday November 17, 2015 Metrolinx held Public Meeting #2 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the York Civic Centre. The purpose of the meeting was to present information regarding the TPAP and results of environmental and technical studies and preliminary design concepts. The meeting also provided the opportunity to share next steps of the project with the public and provided an additional opportunity to comment on the Project. Public Meeting #2 included consultation on both, the Caledonia GO Station and Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Projects. 2.1 Meeting Format Public Meeting #2 included an Open House format with display boards, a formal presentation and a Q/A session. A copy of the presentation and display boards are provided in Appendix A and B, respectively. Over the course of the evening, Metrolinx listened to feedback and answered questions from area residents through the open house Q/A period following the presentation. All feedback received was documented. Attendees also had the option to complete a written comment sheet. In total, four written comment sheets were completed (see Appendix C). Comments could be submitted for a period of three weeks, until December 8, 2015. 2.2 Public Attendance The event was attended by local residents, local business owners, and representatives from City of Toronto staff. Approximately 60 people attended Public Meeting # 2, 56 people signed in at the welcome desk. The event was also attended by several elected officials or their representatives including Member of Parliament (MP) Julie Dzerowicz, Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Laura Albanese, a representative for MPP Cristina Martins and representatives from City of Toronto Councillors Ana Bailão and Cesar Palacio. 2.3 Summary of Comments Received Below are comments received during Public Meeting#2 ; detailed comments are provided in Section 4. Noise/Vibration Impacts Concern was expressed about the potential increase in noise and vibration levels expected as a result of construction and operation of the new GO Station. Residents in close proximity to the station asked about mitigation measures that will be implemented. As a part of the project, Metrolinx completed noise and vibration studies that revealed minimal changes. Details of the report will be available in the final EPR. 6 Caledonia GO Station Public Meeting #2 Summary Report Impacts to Adjacent Properties Residents asked about potential aesthetic/visual impacts due to loss of vegetation as a result of construction and/or vandalism. A couple of residents expressed concern relating to potential negative impacts to property values as a result of the new GO Station. These comments were noted and added to the EPR. Pedestrian/Cycling Concerns The public expressed a desire for efficient access routes to get to and from the new GO Station and other local public transit stations, including the potential for a bike storage area. This suggestion will be studied further, and possibly implemented. when the project moves forward into detail design. Traffic Concerns Concerns were raised about the potential for vehicles to drive the wrong direction along Croham Road. Some residents inquired about potential public parking at the new GO Station. A detailed Traffic Impact Assessment has been completed and the report will be available in the final EPR. There will be no public parking at the station. 3. Method of Public Notification Several methods were used to notify stakeholders and the community about the second Caledonia GO Station Public Meeting. A copy of notification materials including newspaper ads, letters sent to property owners within 30 metres of the transit Project Area, and emails sent to agencies, aboriginal groups and other interested stakeholders can be found in Appendix D. 3.1 Newspaper Ads The Notice of Commencement and Public Meeting #2 details were posted in the following newspapers on both Thursday, October 29 and Thursday, November 5, 2015: • • York Guardian; and, Bloor West Villager. 3.2 Canada Post Mail and Media The Notice of Commencement and Public Meeting #2 information were combined in one bulletin and posted on Metrolinx’s website 1 and messaging was also displayed on the 1 http://www.metrolinx.com/en/regionalplanning/rer/rer_work.aspx 7 Caledonia GO Station Public Meeting #2 Summary Report Metrolinx Twitter feed and Facebook page. The notice was also mailed to stakeholders, which included property owners within 30 metres of the transit Project Area, potentially interested or affected residents, agencies and Aboriginal communities. 4. Participation Levels and Summary of Comments Received The comments received over the course of Public Meeting #2 as well as the comments listed in the four completed written comment sheets (Appendix C) are summarized in Table 1 below. Comments are grouped by common theme. Table 1: Comments Received General Comment Study Team Response Project Support We are happy this GO station is being Comment noted. implemented.

TPAP. In accordance with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) /GO Transit Draft Protocol for Noise and Vibration Assessment, noise mitigation should be investigated when the adjusted noise level (difference between future predicted noise level and existing noise level) is 5dB or greater. The results of the assessment indicate that there will be an increase in noise levels experienced at the three sensitive receptors identified for the assessment (three residences adjacent to the rail corridor within 8 Caledonia GO Station Public Meeting #2 Summary Report General Comment Study Team Response the Project Area); however, the noise level increase is less than 5dB. The adjusted noise level would be in the “Noticeable” range. Based on these results, no permanent noise mitigation measures (e.g., noise barriers) will be implemented for the new GO Station.

Study Team Response Yes, Metrolinx is working with the City of Toronto and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to ensure consistent tree compensation measures are implemented. On-site tree compensation may not be reasonable due to lack of available land following construction. Alternate planting locations or means of compensating will be investigated in consultation with the City and TRCA, where applicable. Can trees be relocated to residential Any tree recommended for transplant is to backyards? have a good condition rating and be a desirable species. The majority of the trees requiring removal are Manitoba Maple and Green Ash, which are not desirable species. Manitoba Maple is not desirable as it is considered a weed. Green Ash is not desirable due to the species susceptibility to attack by Emerald Ash Borer. A Landscape Plan, which will be prepared during the detailed design phase of the project, will include provision for replacement trees of high quality, long living, native species such as Sugar Maple and Bur Oak.

In March 2010, a TPAP was completed for the ECLRT. As part of the ECLRT TPAP, the Caledonia LRT Station was proposed to include a direct link to the rail corridor. As such, a new GO Station at this location was prioritized. Bloor is one of seven short-listed stations for the Barrie rail corridor. The feasibility of implementing a station at Bloor is being investigated with results of the study expected in the spring of 2016. Of the seven short-listed stations, how There are no targets. Results of the Systemmany will materialize? Wide New Station Analysis are anticipated for Spring 2016. The proposed crossing at Castlefield is Metrolinx puts safety first and is working with dangerous. the City of Toronto to identify measures for safety improvements for the crossing. Instead of building a pedestrian tunnel, The rail corridor rises in gradient to the north perhaps construct a bridge to the trail [York and is approximately at-grade at the proposed Beltline Trail]. pedestrian tunnel location. With the future electrification of the corridor, clearance requirements for a bridge would be a minimum of 7.40 metres over the rail corridor. In this circumstance, it is considered more suitable to maintain Metrolinx’s standard of constructing a pedestrian tunnel with floor elevation approximately 3.90 metres below the bottom of rail. 5. Next Steps All public comments received over the course of the pre-TPAP and TPAP consultation activities have been carefully reviewed by the Project team and have been taken into consideration through the development of the EPR. The EPR will be finalized and posted for a 30 calendar-day review period upon the issuance of the Notice of Completion. In accordance with the TPAP, the Notice of Completion will be posted in the local newspaper on two separate dates and provided to all property owners within 30 metres of the Project Area, agencies, aboriginal groups, and any other stakeholder than may be interested in the project. The Notice of Completion will be posted on the Metrolinx website and in both the Bloor West Villager and York Guardian on February 25 and March 3, 2016. February 25, 2016 will mark the commencement of the 30 12 Caledonia GO Station Public Meeting #2 Summary Report calendar-day review period in which all stakeholders have an opportunity to review the final EPR. During the 30 calendar-day review period, objections to the project can be submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC); however should be on the basis that the transit project may have a potential negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that relates to the natural environment or has a cultural heritage value or interest or on a constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty right. The Minister will issue a notice within a 35 calendar-day period following the completion of the 30 calendar-day review period to: allow the project to proceed; allow the project to proceed with conditions; or, may require Metrolinx to take further steps, studies or consultation before proceeding.

It also informs how we are moving forward with the project and we will ensure studies address: • Noise and Vibration Concerns – completing a noise and vibration analysis to determine where vibration and noise mitigation (e.g. noise walls) is needed. • Station Mobility – we are ensuring that the station is fully accessible including pedestrian and cycling connectivity. • Traffic, air quality, impact to surrounding vegetation, and light pollution. 17 Stakeholder Feedback - Caledonia Metrolinx has met with several stakeholders with interest in the Project. In principle, there is support for the new GO Station. Key comments included: • • • • 18 Electrification of the corridor Rail / Road Grade Separations Local Transit / Fare Integration Freight Train Use • • • • Future GO Station Locations Cycling Connections Service Promotion Funding Caledonia TPAP: Study Findings Study Key Study Findings Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment • There are no known archaeological resources within the Study Area. • Further archaeological studies will be completed in the event that an isolated or deeply buried archaeological deposit is unearthed during construction. Cultural Heritage • The Cultural Heritage Screening identified potential indirect impacts to the Eglinton Avenue West bridge and the York Beltline Trail as a result of the station construction. • A Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) and, if required a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), will be undertaken as part of this TPAP. 19 Caledonia TPAP: Study Findings (cont’d) 20 Study Key Study Findings Air Quality Assessment • Potential air quality and greenhouse gas emission impacts determined to be insignificant on a regional scale. • Predicted emissions from GO Transit service increase are below applicable thresholds. • Air quality will be monitored during construction, and mitigated as required. Noise and Vibration Assessment • Predicted noise and vibration levels from proposed GO Transit operations will be insignificant in comparison to existing conditions. • Noise and vibration will be monitored during construction, and mitigated as required. Caledonia TPAP: Study Findings (cont’d) Study Key Study Findings Natural Heritage Assessment • Highly urbanized landscape with adjacent lands of mixed uses including residential, commercial, park and industrial. • Presence of Species at Risk (SAR) or supporting habitat not observed within the Study Area. • No watercourses, wetlands or woodlands present. • Removal of vegetation to occur to accommodate construction. Tree Inventory • Identified trees to be preserved and those that need to be removed within and just outside of the rail corridor. • A Tree preservation, removal and compensation plan will be developed during detailed design. 21 Caledonia TPAP: Study Findings (cont’d) Study Key Study Findings Socio• New station and future Eglinton Crosstown LRT Economic and Station are expected to result in net job growth. Land Use • Improved transit access to a wider job market for area residents. • Businesses in the neighbourhood can attract employees from a larger geographic area. • Impacts to a few local businesses within Project Area. • New transportation option and greater mobility for people without access to a car. • New station helps to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality if more people switch from vehicles to public transit. 22 Caledonia TPAP: Study Findings (cont’d) Study Key Study Findings Traffic Impact Study • Proposed infrastructure will support and enhance existing and planned pedestrian and cyclist links, including provisions for bike shelters, a pedestrian bridge and tunnel. • Connections to Caledonia Eglinton Crosstown LRT Station and TTC Bus Service will improve transit integration. • Impacts to be minimized through ongoing monitoring of construction operations, reduction of construction access/parking and following a traffic management plan. 23 Tell Us What’s Important to You Your feedback and community perspective is important to informing this project You will have the following opportunities to have your say by: Attending public meetings – completing feedback forms E-mailing [email protected] Visiting http://www.metrolinx.com/en/regionalplanning/rer/ Please submit your comments by December 8, 2015 Following community feedback and other input, the project will be considered by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change All feedback will be recorded as part of the Environmental Project Report.

The non-descript waiting areas at Terminals 1 and 3 will receive renovations, including more fare vending machines, better signage and heated bus shelters, tweeted the TTC’s Ian Dickson last week. In early 2015, the TTC began branding its 192 Airport Rocket route, which provides a dedicated bus service between Kipling station and Pearson airport. Last year, a TTC spokesperson admitted the airport terminal bus waiting areas could be made more obvious, especially for tourists. At the time, signs were limited and unclear, and information was still on display for discontinued bus routes.

The items will then be donated to a number of charities in support of homeless and to those who the top cop says “sleep rough.” In an effort to raise awareness of the plight of homelessness, officers, alongside members of the Community Police Liaison Committee and staff from the West Neighbourhood House, (formerly St. Christopher House), a non sectarian social services agency, located in west central Toronto, will be sleeping outside on the front lawn of the station, at 2054 Davenport Rd. “Anyone who would like to take part is welcome to,” Kuck said, adding they must bring their own sleeping bags and ground sheets. “We think it’s an important component of the event – it allows us to live vicariously through those who are living rough.” The sleep out takes place Friday, Nov. 6, from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. “One thing we want to do again is, at midnight, is to sit down and talk earnestly about what sleeping rough means to (each participant),” Kuck said, recalling last year’s conversation that drew some people to tears. The idea to take a few moments to chat among each other was inspired by a round table discussion he had while on a fundraising dog-sled expedition he embarked on in the name of Victim Services Toronto. “People should think about how fortunate they are to live in a warm accommodation,” Kuck said, pointing out that there are 500 people in Toronto who sleep rough nightly.

Family, friends and supporters gathered Oct. 27 for an afternoon ceremony at the northeast corner of Turnberry Avenue and Union Street. Stark, who died Oct. 4, 2013 at the age of 93, was the proprietor of Stark Iron and Metal and Stark Auto Sales. “He fought long and hard for the retention of employment lands not only within the community, but across the city, and for the creation of good-paying jobs,” Davenport Councillor Cesar Palacio said. The councillor, who had known Stark for many years, said he would remember the man for his “courage, determination and entrepreneurial spirit.” “He was a principled and accomplished man. Within the community, he was known for his hard work and integrity,” Palacio said. Born in Czechoslovakia, Stark grew up on his family farm. After the Second World War, he got married. The Holocaust survivor immigrated to Canada in 1953 and worked many jobs to provide for his family, most of which were as a labourer at a scrap yard. In 1959, Stark opened his own scrapyard on Maria Street, near Dundas Street West and Runnymede Road. By the 1970s, the business had expanded enough to outgrow the space and moved to Union Street, in the St. Clair Avenue West and Old Weston Road area. Together with his son, Stephen, who had gone into business with his father, they acquired some neighbouring properties and ended up owning both sides of Union Street. The Starks own and operate Stark Iron and Metal and Stark Auto Sales. The councillor credits the family for “creating an industrial jewel.” Stark’s son, Stephen, calls the street renaming an honour. “The renaming of Union Street to Benny Stark Street is a great honor and I couldn’t imagine a better way of preserving the legacy and memory of our beloved father,” he said. “It’s such a great feeling to know that his grandchildren’s grandchildren will be able to go to a place, look up and see a sign with their grandfather’s name on it. It is beyond words.

The Caledonia GO Station will be integrated with the future Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit Station at Eglinton Avenue West and Croham Road (west of Caledonia Road), adding regional connectivity to the Crosstown and the Toronto Transit Commission bus network. THE PROCESS Metrolinx is assessing the environmental impacts of building a new station on the Barrie corridor according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be filed documenting any potential environmental effects and mitigation requirements of the Project. Viewing locations for the agency and public review of the EPR will be published in the Notice of Completion. All information produced as part of this project is available at www.metrolinx.com/en/regionalplanning/rer/rer_work.aspx FIND OUT MORE We thank everyone for their feedback to date during our pre-engagement. As we launch the notice of commencement and formal six-month TPAP process, we continue to encourage our neighbours, agencies and other interested persons to actively participate in the TPAP by attending meetings or contacting staff directly with information, comments or questions. Your participation is an important part of this process and we welcome your input. You are invited to attend the second public meeting listed below.
