Inter-Regional Transit
The Ministry has been reviewing the alternative ways of addressing a number
of issues related to inter-regional transit in the Greater Toronto Area.
Since July, the Ministry has been exploring the most suitable alternatives
with the various transit operators and regional representatives. The
alternatives have been summarized in a report "Inter-Regional Transit
Co-Ordination: An Implementation Plan", a copy of which has been forwarded
to all municipalities in the area.
The Ministry has requested that the report be reviewed and before a decision
is made by the Ministry, a formal response to the implementation plan is
requested from each municipality by March 21, 1984.
Based on a Region of York report, the four alternatives included in the
report are:
MTC as co-ordinator
a new inter-regional agency as co-ordinator
i )
i i )
iii) a 1 imited purpose federation of all of the operators with MTC to
co-ordinate all other matters
i v) a full federation with MTC representation on it.
The Report also states "at the July 28, 1983 joint meeting, a strong
consensus became apparent favouring the alternatives in which MTC fulfills
the role of inter-regional transit co-ordinator, particularly since the MTC
provides and controls the public transit subsidies."
The Committee recommends that MTC be advised that Council does not have
sufficient information upon which to base a formal response at this time and
requests that MTC officials meet with appropriate Town Officials prior to
March 21, 1984.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 10 -Commercial Development Advisory Committee ••• Various Matters
continued
1. Commercial Area Improvement Program
Mrs. Seibert advised the Committee that at a recent meeting with the Manager
of the Community Renewal Branch of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing, she learned that it was possible to apply for a loan under the
Commercial Area Improvement Program (CAIP) prior to having Official Plan
Policies relating to Community Improvement if a timetable for such policies
could be established. The Committee felt that in spite of time constraints
it would be advantageous to apply at this time. Since Council had no
scheduled meeting before January 31st, it was suggested that the item could
be an "add on" to Council's public meeting.
The Committee discussed the criteria for eligibility, and the matters for
which funding was available as set out in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Housing Guidelines. The Committee recommends that as priority items,
the parking lot on the west side of Yonge Street, the current cost estimate
for which exceeds Council's expectations, the parking lot on the east side
of Yonge Street, and some landscaping and lighting on Yonge Street be
established. The waterworks site was also discussed.
As well, there is funding available for administration of the study which
can include municipal full or part time staff and also for promotion. The
Committee feels that promoting the downtown area is an important facet of
the Improvement Concept. The Committee recommended after much discussion
that a $300,000.00 project be applied for. It was also recommended that
Mrs. Seibert prepare a report and cost estimates for the Council meeting
January 26th.
The meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
