ing for public transit infrastructure in Toronto.

The down payment is substantial – $500 million, ear-marked for among other things subway repairs and bus repairs – which hopefully will include some of those AC units – but many other projects too: bike parking at TTC stations, new buses, escalator overhauls and more.

The challenge will be to ensure that it keeps going, and that will be a trick. This federal money is atypical for more than its magnitude: it is not, as TTC Chair Josh Colle remarked, the kind of funding that visiting federal officials like to announce.

No one wants to cut a ribbon on a repair job, after all, and that’s what these things entail. Really, a well-financed transit system shouldn’t need $500 million in one-time funding to bring its aging but not ancient infrastructure up to scratch; there should be a consistent and sustainable funding source that allows ongoing maintenance and at least modest expansion.

It doesn’t seem as though such a source is on the horizon.

This fall and next year, the TTC will be responding to instructions from Mayor John Tory to cut $15.9 million or 2.6 per cent from its operating budget. That will be an annual reduction, and it is dramatic enough that TTC CEO Andy Byford reported earlier this summer that if implemented he would have no choice but to recommend service cuts.

Given that long-term reality, one wonders how much longer it will be before another federal government has to open up the treasury to bring the system back to where it should have been all along.

Better hang on to those water bottles.

@InsideTOnews

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended The Tragically Hip’s final farewell tour concert. The internet has also taught us he looks good without a shirt on.

If you’re one of the unfortunate souls who’s been regularly riding Line 2 of the subway through the heat of this summer, you’ve learned some tricks.

Before you get onto a subway car, put your hand through the door and see if it ignites. If it does, the air conditioning is off and you might be better trying the next car. If that one’s overheated too, you make your way to one end of the car or another, and conserve your strength until it reaches the next station, and try and move to a third car before the doors close again… and then repeat this until you find a car with air conditioning, or get to the last or first car on the train – which usually has air conditioning.

In any case, it’s wise to hydrate. Because even if you eventually get in the right car, on weekends and off-peak you might find yourself waiting in the tomblike heat of a station or during rush-hour, staring through suffocating crowds as over-stuffed trains – many more of which are not air conditioned – pass by.

Hot subways and crowded platforms aren’t the only problems that the Toronto Transit Commission is facing, but they are symptoms of the same problem: chronic under-funding, dating back decades, which has required commission staff to juggle priorities and in so doing deliver a service that at times barely approximates the reasonable expectations of its customers.

And so it is that subway air conditioning during heat waves is managed rather than repaired, as the TTC’s backlog of repairs grows.

There was a bit of kismet this week when the August heatwave broke for a couple of days, and the federal government came to Toronto to announce the “down payment” of $840 million in fund-

The Bistro on Avenue has been on Avenue Road for over 30 years. When Louis Nemes (Owner) was told that he would have to re-locate to make way for condominiums, his customers begged him to find another place on Avenue Rd. Well...he did and it’s bigger and better than before! Now at 1988 Avenue Rd., just south of Wilson. Louis’ legacy lives on! 40 years ago, Louis, a former chemist with Canada Packers, became the founder of Toronto’s renowned chicken wing eateries, The Chick ‘N Deli, The Bistro on Avenue and the first St. Louis Bar and Grill. (2050 Yonge St.). He quickly wowed the locals with his signature wings. In a city where chicken wings dominate the menus of most restaurants, Louis created a niche with his specialty chicken wings. “The secret is in the spice”. Most people would agree based on the fact that since 1977, Louis has sold millions of his famous chicken wings, consistently winning peoples choice awards. The Bistro menu also provides classic comfort and specialty foods. The success of Louis’ restaurants has also been a success for local charities. Hosting the Annual Bistro Golf Tournament, as well as numerous other fundraisers, Louis continually gives back to the community. Thank you for voting us the Best Wings in Town!

Struggling ForSpace So much has changed in downtown Toronto since the 1970s.

Today, redevelopment is taking place more rapidly than ever, putting pressure on the few open public spaces in the downtown core.

When Mark Garner first visited Yonge Street south of Bloor, it was the late 1970s and like many young people of the era, he came from a distance – in his case, all the way in from Scarborough – for the famous street’s sometimes seedy but irresistible charms: in those days, rows of video arcades and record stores, movie theatres and music venues and bookstores, the then-fresh glass cavern of the Eaton Centre. If he were born a few years later, it might have been the early and evolving annual Pride parades that drew him downtown, or Busker Fest, or North By Northeast.

But these days, Garner—who is now Executive Director of the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area—is watching the exploding redevelopment of Yonge Street and other avenues in the downtown core, with more than a faint worry that without significant change, those kinds of memories might be confined to an era.

“These streets are the same streets I walked on as a kid from Scarborough,” he says. “They have not gotten any wider at all.

They’ve poured new concrete, but this is the same street. ” The street is the same but the buildings around soon will be not. The 80-storey Aura condominium tower at Yonge and Gerrard streets is currently the tallest condominium in the country. In a few years, it will be just the eighth tallest in Toronto, as new towers at Elm Street, Yonge and Gerrard, and Yonge and Bloor take form.

And other of those buildings will occupy what has been useful open space in the neighbourhoods surrounding Yonge Street: the surface parking lots on Bay Street and more crucially, Church Street to the east. When those go, so goes crucial concert and marshalling spaces for the annual Pride Parade, and other smaller

festivals like Busker Fest and North by Northeast.

“With this type of intensification, with parking lots disappearing for programming, how do we build a quality neighbourhood?” says Garner. “This was always the high street, the retail street. It’s been a music Mecca not just for retail but also performance. And we’re about to redevelop the street. What’s the character of the street to be? We all had a rite of passage on Yonge Street. The street we need to build now is for the future generations.”

Toronto planners are seized of this question, not just for Yonge Street but for all of the downtown. With a huge growth in population, and unprecedented redevelopment of scarce downtown land, how does the city provide the public spaces that have in the past existed temporarily or in an ad hoc way, for a population that may have quadrupled?

Earlier in August, Toronto Mayor John Tory announced a plan to spend what could be hundreds of millions of dollars to cover over rail lands south of Wellington Street, to turn into a 21-acre “central park.” The plan is informed by an ongoing city planning project, TOcore, looking at comprehensive ways to “finish off” Toronto’s downtown redevelopment in a way that allows the much larger downtown to retain the charms and amenities that made it such a desirable place in the first place.

“We’re finishing off the downtown and as we finish it off we need to make sure we don’t kill the golden goose by losing our open spaces and green spaces,” says Toronto’s Chief Planner Jennifer Keesmaat.

That inevitably means investment—either in real estate, or in repurposing the public realm. In the case of the rail-cover park plan, that means spending as much as $20 million an acre

Toronto’s downtown is growing at a phenomenal rate.

Just look at the numbers.

In 2011, downtown Toronto had a population of 199,495. In 2015, city planners estimate that more than 240,000 live here, and in 2025, that’s expected to double.

The BIA have done traffic counts, and found that out of 42 million people travelling on the street north and south, only a quarter do so by car, and just five per cent by bicycle.

The rest are pedestrians.

Keesmaat says that other city-run traffic studies on other downtown streets suggest that cars should have even less primacy.

On King Street, cars take up 64 per cent of the space but move only 16 per cent of the people.

“Right now there’s a profound efficiency if we can shift infrastructure so that the infrastructure that moves the most people has the most allocation,” says Keesmaat.

Spadina-Fort York MP and former City Councillor Adam Vaughan says plans like the Yonge Street plan will be essential to making downtown communities work in the future.

“One of the things we realized is that we’re losing flat space to intensification and flat space is where people gather,” he says. “I think we sell ourselves short when we think of Toronto as culturally deficient—it’s one of the most vibrant places in North America. But if you don’t pay attention to it—don’t think about new ways to use residual lands—you’ll lose that advantage very quickly.”

on decking and landscaping overtop of train tracks. That might seem like a lot, but Keesmaat points out that purchasing land in the downtown core would cost the city between $50 and $60 million an acre.

There is no rail corridor to build over on Yonge Street. There is, however, the street itself. And it here that city planners, the Downtown Yonge BIA and local Toronto Centre-Rosedale Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam are looking for relief.

“The grand vision is to redesign and repurpose Yonge Street from Davenport to the waterfront, and rebuild the street so it’s much more dynamic… people friendly… pedestrian friendly,” says Wong-Tam. “If I gave you a street designed to be able to be turned over to festivals, with wayfinding and stages built into the street itself, would that not have value for a neighbourhood?

Would that not have value with people?”

Earlier this year, Wong-Tam and the BIA launched an environmental assessment, looking at the possibility of turning sections of Yonge Street—or possibly the whole stretch—over to pedestrian malls, or at least widening the sidewalks. Garner admits that he has gotten flack from some in his organization who chaffe at the idea of shutting down a stretch of downtown roadways to cars. But he says his membership – and the data – bear this out.

Much of that development will come to live in new residential developments. In June of 2015, 31,554 housing units had been submitted to the city in the form of planning applications. Another 28,812 had applied for or received building permits, and 16,321 were under construction.

Add to that employment numbers, and downtown Toronto swells during the day, with more than 830,000 people downtown during the day.

Eglinton Crosstown Construction Update: Long-term lane closures at Avenue-Eglinton intersection Metrolinx is building the Eglinton Crosstown, Toronto’s new 19-kilometre light rail transit (LRT) line that will run along Eglinton Avenue with a central 10 km underground section. The Crosstown will connect Mount Dennis in the west to Kennedy Road in the east, and the new service will be up to 60% faster than the bus service today. With 25 stations and stops and connections to three TTC subway stations, 54 local bus routes, three GO Transit lines and the UP Express, the Crosstown will improve travel times and change the way we move through the heart of the city.

A crew is installing supports for the excavation of the future Avenue Station – one of the deepest and longest stations on the Crosstown line. From September 2016 to 2020 (more than 40 months), the work will result in long-term lane closures, turn restrictions on Eglinton Avenue West, and other changes.
