Itoffers a th forward to complete the Greater Toronto Region Trail Network. Workb ok-bnsists oft Trail Capital Project : andi ate List .� Destination Area P je ts: ondidate List Implementation PI as d reliminary Order of Magnitude Costing Action Plan r The and include draft lists of proposed trail and destination area capital projects organized by regional and local municipajjty. Each candidate>cj_ect is assigned on implementdiion priority based on define-CHnvestment criteria. The proposed trail capital projects are illustrated in the required to complete the Greater Toronto Region Trail Network. The organizes the eight strategic objectives and associated initiatives and actions into an execution tierefTome to be phased across shor t, rhodium and long-term time horizons, and identifies oc tions that will be undertaken on an on-going basis. These plans are intended to guide the execution of the Strategy over the coming years. This Workbook has been developed as a reference tool to assiq TRCA and its trail partners in activating/implementing/ executing the Strategy. TRCA staff and external partners must work together to evaluate prioritize and complete the proposed trail and destination capital projects required to build the Greater Toronto Region Trail Network To this end, this Workbook will assist TRCA and its trail partners to prioritize trail projects, align capital budgets and coordinate funding commitments. It can bK-u—seITTocQ port development of phasing plans with preliminary priorities for each rnicnicipality and corresponding financial strategies to kick-start project implementation. The Trail Strategy is an evolving placi_for trail connections as user needs change in anexpanding region�Iit will guide str"atemplanning directions for years to come. As comma y plans for growtFMreos --------------- are finalized, rnunicipollties will need to connect local neighbourhoods, old and new, to greenspace attractions to meet community needs. -� These priority linkages will be set in project discussions with municipal trail planning partners. - As such, this Workbook should beseen as giving document, subject to change as trail partners work Tic e� n an ongoing basis to refine regional trail project Lities and c pitalize o ew opportunities.

This costing is based on collaborative analysis with our municipal partners. Trail Unit Costs Trail Description (Type) Unit 2018 Dollars Single -use Construct new hiking trail in valley/ridge areasLinear Metre $ 130.00 Multi -use Construct new asphalt waterfront trail Linear Metre $ 1,240.00 Construct new asphalt trail in valley/ridge areas Linear Metre $ 702.00 Construct new asphalt trail in road right-of-ways Linear Metre $ 555.40 Construct new asphalt trail in utility corridors Linear Metre $ 372.40 Bike -only Construct new cycle -track.. trail along roadways Linear Metre $ 450.00 Other Costs Planning Percentage 10.0% Design and Engineering Percentage 10.0% Permitting Percentage 10.0% Contingency Percentage 25.0% Natural Heritage and Tree Compensation Percentage 5.0% The Trail Unit Costs were used to calculate the preliminary order of magnitude estimates for trail construction project costs per region shown in Trail Project Costs. This table includes trail construction project costs per region, according to the high, medium or low implementation priority phase of work categorized in the draft Trail Strategy. The chart further itemizes trail project cost according to land ownership, by TRCA versus Other, per region and identifies the corresponding expenditures. Trail Project Costs Region High Priority Medium Priority Low Priority TOTAL Durham $2.3 $16.1 $21.0 $39.4 Durham (TRCA lands) $1.3 $0.6 $1.4 $3.3 Durham (Other lands) $1.0 $15.5 $19.4 $36.1 Peel $24.2 $12.9 $33.9 $71.0 Peel (TRCA lands) $7.8 $0.0 $0.1 $33.8 $7.9 $63.1 Peel (Other lands) $16.4 $12.9 Toronto $52.2 $46.5 $5.1 $103.8 Toronto (TRCA lands) $11.0 $3.0 $0.0 $14.0 Toronto (Other lands) $41.2 $43.5 $5.1 $89.8 York $49.9 $66.0 $54.7 $170.6 York (TRCA lands) $18.0 $6.7 $2.6 $27.2 York (Other lands) $31.9 $59.3 $52.1 $143.4 Total (TRCA lands) Total (Other lands) $38.1 $10.3 $4.1 $52.5 $90.5 $131.2 $110.6 $332.4 GRANDTOTAL $128.6 $141.5 $114.7 1 $384.9 Based on preliminary high-level costing of the proposed trail connections, the total cost to construct the proposed 570km of trails to complete the Greater Toronto Region Trail Network is $384.9 million. Of this amount, the total cost of these new trail construction projects on TRCA-owned lands is $52.5 million. This estimate is considered to be +/- 20 to 30% accurate. The cost is expected to increase annually according to projected inflation. Trail construction project costs include planning, design and engineering, permits and agreements, construction and contingencies. They exclude crossings, lighting, engineering features, site servicing and trail amenities. TRCA is already undertaking trail and destination capital project work in support of the draft concept for the Greater Toronto Region Trail Network within approved capital budgets of multiple TRCA and municipal partner programs. >F f Section 01: Trail Capital Projects: Candidate List Funding and Implementation Many of the proposed trail and greenway connections in the Greater Toronto Region Trail Network require partnerships with municipal partners, NGOs and the development industry. Leveraging the development process to secure trail project funding and implementation opportunities provides a mechanism for execution. The inclusion, siting and design of trails should be considered at the initiation of the development process. With proper planning from project outset, trails can be situated in the most appropriate location for a particular development area. Municipal departments need to coordinate these potential routes with TRCA and landowners as plans evolve for new community growth areas. Upgrades to existing connections should also be considered with wayfinding, parking and rest areas, as needed. As Secondary Plans and Master Environmental Servicing Plans (MESPs) are developed, TRCA and partner municipalities should look to opportunities to implement the Greater Toronto Region Trail Network plans to ensure that new neighbourhoods are well connected to municipal parks and the overall greenspace system. Negotiations through the. development process should include acquisition of major land holdings to facilitate interregionaltrails and community connections. Municipalities should work with trail partners to ensure that short-term trail routes and restoration opportunities are implemented with development funding, including Development Charges (DCs) and Section 37 Agreements. Long-term trail connections should be confirmed through the Draft Plan subdivision process, by agreements, and through infrastructure Environmental Assessments (EAs). Transit and transportation infrastructure also provides key opportunities for implementing active trail linkages to the larger community systems and transit hub stations. Ongoing maintenance of trail routes can be challenging for only one agency with limited budget flexibility. In existing neighbourhoods, or in areas that do not have upcoming development opportunities, trail partners should leverage existing budgets and new funding opportunities through federal, provincial and municipal infrastructure funding programs that support active transportation, climate change adaptation and the page 18/19 creation of green infrastructure. Past applicable provincial funding programs have included: Climate Change Action Plan (CLAP), the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program (OMCC), the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund (OSRCF), Ontario Trillium Foundation grants and Greenbelt Foundation grants. Current applicable municipal funding programs include York Region Pedestrian and Cycling Municipal Partnership Program (YRMPP). TRCA and municipal trail partners should also seize opportunities to align upcoming major infrastructure projects with the inclusion of trail corridors. By capitalizing on complementary regional infrastructure project opportunities to build trails, we can maximize our infrastructure, leverage funding opportunities and help to complete the remaining gaps that exist. Trails require sustained investment to address operating fund shortages required to manage and maintain existing and proposed trails. In order to maintain their recreational and active transportation functions, trails require ongoing funding to be maintained in a state of good repair and to achieve their desired level of service. We must strive to adopt the principles of asset management in accounting for the full lifecycle of the natural and cultural heritage and user monitoring, planning, design, implementation and maintenance of trails. The Trail Strategy for the Greater Toronto Region recommends developing a Trail Lifecycle Costing Tool to fully account for these activities in order to improve trail cost analysis. In addition, the Strategy recommends TRCA and municipal trail partners create Trail Maintenance Reserve Funds for ongoing trail operations and maintenance expenditures to improve our ability to adequately manage our existing and proposed trail assets in a state of good repair.
