GO Transit: Year 2021 Plan.

The Urban Environment and Development Committee recommends that the Toronto Transit Commission and GO Transit be encouraged to continue their ongoing discussions with respect to transit planning; and, further, that the Members of Council who have, at this time, been appointed to the Greater Toronto Services Board be involved in such discussions.

The Urban Environment and Development Committee reports, for the information of Council, having requested the Commissioner of Urban Planning and Development Services to submit a report to the Urban Environment and Development Committee on:

(a) the funding relationship between the City of Toronto and GO Transit; and

(b) the funding formula used for all the funding partners of GO Transit.

The Urban Environment and Development Committee submits the following communication (February 17, 1998) addressed to Mayor Mel Lastman from Mr. Eldred King, Chairman, GO Transit:

In light of the recent changes in reporting structure for GO Transit, I feel that presentation by GO Transit staff to your Council would be beneficial to all parties.

Could you please arrange for the appropriate person to call Pauline Chadwick at 869-3600, extension 5502, to set this up.

Thanking you.

Mr. Eldred King, Chairman, and Mr. Rick Ducharme, Managing Director, made an overhead presentation to the Urban Environment and Development Committee in connection with the foregoing matter.

(A copy of the report, entitled "GO Transit: Year 2021 Plan", has been forwarded to all Members of Council with the agenda of the March 23 and 24, 1998, meeting of the Urban Environment and Development Committee, and a copy thereof is also on file in the office of the Metropolitan Clerk.)
