Toronto Beltline Public Meetings

Background
The Beltline Trail was originally constructed as a 1890s commuter steam railway line that circled the City, looping from Union Station up through North Toronto. The rail line was converted to multi-use trail in the end of the last century.

The Beltline Today
The Beltline Trail is currently heavily used by residents for hiking, running, cycling, dog-walking and passive recreation. The success of the trail has partly led to its current poor condition. Due to heavy use and improper drainage, parts of the trail have been widened by foot and bicycle traffic up to 6m which has contributed to the deterioration of adjacent naturalized areas. The Beltline trail was originally designed in segments contributing to its lack of continuity, poor road crossing treatments and lack of wayfinding.
The City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation and Transportation Services have begun a study to look at state of good repair improvements to the Beltline Trail, including the section through Moore Park Ravine.

The second set of public meetings will take place:
Date: Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Time: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. (Open House), 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (Presentation & Break Out session)
Location: St. Paul's Bloor St. Church, 227 Bloor Street East
and
Date: Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Time: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. (Open House), 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (Presentation & Break Out session)
Location: West Preparatory Junior Public School, 70 Ridge Hill Drive

Ontario Trail MembershipMembership renewals for 2013 are going out December 1st, 2012 We are sending them to you as our contact person - but is there someone else that has to absolutely get the invoice in your organization? We wish to make sure they land on the right desk! Board members or staff will be calling to confirm over the next weeks.

OTC Membership is Value for Money : How do we stack up? This year we will have1,000,000 unique visitors to the OTC website. For trails there is no other leader - not even nationally - and I quote from Context Creative:

"ComScore is a leading analytics organization that provides industry standard rankings used by many companies to assess their performance and investments in the digital world; many agency planners only go off ComScore numbers in their media buying initiatives. There are a couple of other trail sites as well, but Suite66 wasn't able to locate another one big enough to be reported in ComScore. So this is also impressive that OTC is present there.

For the month of September 2012, Canadian stats:

OntarioTrails.on.ca: 65,764 UVs (Unique Views) / 329,511 PVs (Page Views)

ComScore reports the following for comparison:

national outdoor org 50,440 UV’s / 249,000 PV’s

national geographic org: 41,000 UV’s / 114,000 PV’s"

So please tell you administrators that even in terms of a couple of hundred dollars in marketing expense, more people will see and use your trails because of your presence on the OTC website. The site is no longer supported by the province - so we need your financial support to manage, update and improve the site every day! Join Today - Use Paypal!
