i) Accessible
Transit Services Plan – 2006 Status Report
It is recommended
that the Commission:
1. Receive this
report for information noting that:

The attached report describes the status of the TTC’s
current activities to improve the accessibility of TTC facilities and
services. It is the third annual update

Status Report, which was received by the Commission in February 2004;
·
The report fulfils provincially-legislated requirements for
an annual documentation of the TTC’s accessibility plans and major initiatives;
·
The new Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act,
2005 (AODA) requires that all transit services and facilities be accessible by
2025. The TTC’s current plans, as
outlined in the attached report, will meet or exceed this goal;

are available on the TTC’s web site so the public can see the progress being
made each year towards the TTC’s accessibility goals; and

report for information, noting that, as directed by the Commission at its
meeting of September 20, 2006, staff plan to extend the 29 DUFFERIN bus route
into Exhibition Place to coincide with the opening of the new BMO Field soccer
stadium. The trial service:
·
Will operate via an on-street routing on Saskatchewan Road,
Manitoba Drive, and Canada Boulevard to a cul-de-sac north-west of Princes’
Gates, on a trial basis, with every second 29 DUFFERIN bus operating on the
extended routing;
·
Will operate on event days at the new stadium between April
28, 2007 and May 12, 2007, and on a full-time basis commencing May 13, 2007
·
Will provide good connections with the existing streetcar
and GO Transit services at Exhibition Loop; does not require physical changes
to Exhibition Loop to provide bus access from the west; will have similar
additional operating costs to a service to Exhibition Loop alone; will allow
for the continuation of improved bus service to Ontario Place during the summer
months as has been operated for many years; and will avoid conflict with the
planned track reconstruction in the Exhibition Loop this spring;
·
Will require that existing resources be reallocated from
the major portion of the 29 DUFFERIN route, and elsewhere in the TTC system, to
accommodate the extension; and
2. Forward this
report to Deputy Mayor Pantalone, Councillors Augimeri, Moscoe, Palacio, and

that the Commission:
1. Receive this
report for information, noting that a minor routing change has been made to
improve service on the 42B CUMMER and 17C BIRCHMOUNT bus routes on McNicoll
Avenue, by extending the routes eastward from the previous bus loop west of
Kennedy Road to a new bus loop east of Kennedy Road, thus allowing connections
between these routes and the 43 KENNEDY bus route, and bringing all-day service
closer to the seniors’ facilities on the east side of Kennedy Road; and

report to Councillors Del Grande, Lee, and Shiner.
APPROVED

report for information, noting that:
·
Commission staff and representatives from the Toronto
Cycling Committee have evaluated four alternative bicycle rack designs to
select a single design for installation on all new buses;
·
The Sportworks DL2 NP bicycle rack was selected because it
is preferred by the bicycling community, and because it overcomes a technical
concern with the current bike rack; and
·
Contract C32PY04839 (purchase of 360 40-foot low floor
diesel-electric hybrid Orion VII buses) has been amended to include the
installation of these bicycle racks.

provide padded seats throughout the bus;
·
install additional stanchions and stop-request buttons in
the rear section of the bus;
2. Note that:
·
the changes recommended in this report are those which
staff believe can be incorporated into the design of the forthcoming order of
Orion VII buses, but do not necessarily represent the best or final design for
this bus;
·
the TTC’s Vehicle Design staff will continue to do further
work and research aimed at making the Orion VII bus more customer-friendly,
including additional public consultation, pertaining to seating configuration,
styles of seats, design and height of hand-holds, window operation, interior
colours and materials, destination signage, and other design features, for
possible incorporation into the retrofitting of the existing fleet of Orion VII
buses, and into future bus orders and other vehicles such as streetcars;
3. Forward this
report to Transit Windsor, thanking them for loaning buses to the TTC for
research, and for the considerable time and effort they put into making the
necessary arrangements; and
