Its About Moving People, Jobs, Competitiveness, Prosperity 407 Rail Transitway Network Architecture For Ontarios Mega Region
Design Criteria - 407 Transitway - 1 hour across the GTAH
407 Transitway Corridor Vision: What is the difference between the 400, 401, 404, 407 and the 427 Highway corridors? The difference is the planned high-speed rail transitway in the 407 corridor, the existing hydro corridor lands and the corridor is not all build-out yet. Planned and intensified communities which effectively encompass underground parking, underground and at grade retail, residential, office, institutional, entertainment, recreation and transit hubs into integrated, transit-dependent and liveable communities is the progressive and forward thinking infrastructure paradigm that we need to move forward as a society. This can only be realized through a cooperative and collaborative approach among all stakeholders. Thomas Edison said if we did all the things we were capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves. Education: We have a simple challenge. If we want to compete and prosper in todays world, we must tap
into and harness the creativity of Ontarians. Our goal should be nothing less than to be jurisdictional with the widest coverage of the creative age across our people and industries. This means preparing our workers and businesses with the skills, capabilities and providing the critical infrastructure required to thrive in the economy of the future. Sustained and shared prosperity demands nothing less.
The Provincial Government must get involved in the strategic planning, development and implementation of this most critical asset - The 407 Rail Transitway. Province should setup a Transit Ministries and also have responsibility for transit dependent development in rail transit corridors.
Integrated Nodes and Mobility Hubs: Bury the hydro lines in key locations within the 407 Transitway corridor to accommodate integrated communities at transit stops, build over the 407 highway with concourses and pedestrian bridges to integrate both sides of the 407 Highway with intense integrated communities around major transit nodes. At the same time integrate the 407 Transitway stops right into the development of these integrated communities. We need to plan and design for a guarantee transit ridership of a 80-90% targeted modal split to ensure instant success of the 407 Rail Transitway. The province should set yearly growth targets for these 407 Transitway integrated communities. The naysayers will say burying the hydro lines or building over the 407 Highway or building an efficient high-speed rail transitway within the 407 right-of-ways and getting across the 140km 407 corridor within one hour cant be done. They are yesterdays planners
Gridlock: is costing the mega-region economy in excess of $6-10 billion dollars annually and going to $15 billion dollars by 2015. These costs include unpredictable travel times, environmental damage, property damage, stress, delays, lost production and lost jobs to other world jurisdictions. Congestion imposes huge costs on our economy. The GTAH Economic Engine: The 407 Rail Transitway is the spine for the GTAH economy and is truly the economic engine for GTAH mega-region. Over the next 50 years, it is estimated that the world population will increase 40% or 3 billion people. The GTAH mega-region will have eight million more people that will call this place their home. Eventually, over time, the mega-region will expand to include Windsor and Niagara to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City plus seamless interfaces with the USA - Niagara Falls and Detroit. Too Many Silos: All the federal and provincial ministries, agencies and lower tiered governments must work together under the leadership of the The Prime Minister of Canada and Premier of Ontario towards the development of one of the most competitive mega-region economies possible to ensure the growth of the creative class jobs and have the supporting industries flourish. The current vision and plans for building the bus rapid transit system first on the 407 transitway are inadequate and not very forward thinking. The 407 Rail Transitway will equal the ridership of the Lakeshore line in less than five years of being built.
productivity advantage for the province. But we are not benefitting fully from this advantage. Part of the reason is that we have less capital investment in the most needed critical infrastructure, We are also a big province and thus have less urbanization and fewer advantages from density. And, as we have found, our clusters have less creative content than those of our peers. This is where the real payoff can come. Clusters with high creativity content can drive much greater productivity and prosperity than other industries. We know that creativity increases economic growth and we know that clusters increase productivity continue for decades. It will increase so much, in fact, that many aspects of everyday life will be dramatically altered and altered in ways that most of us wouldnt necessarily anticipate. For example, we envision a future where we travel by train, not by plane. One where todays distant suburbs gradually become ghost towns. I have gone through the different scenarios when gasoline reaches these price levels. What is the provincial and federal government doing to insulate the public in the event this happens? The consensus is that we have reached peak oil and any oil we find will be expensive and wont be the big oil fields of the past.
Jobs: Ontario has an above average concentration of clustered industries, and this should create a sizeable
The Economic Generator - 407 Transitway Corridor: up to $1 trillion dollars in economic development
opportunities, home for nearly 2 million people, employment of 800,000 - 1,000,000 jobs will reside in the corridor, over 125,000,000 square feet of office/commercial will be build and will generate between 750,000 - 1,000,000 daily transit trips when fully implemented. If we continue down the road we are on, a small fraction of the opportunities can be realized. The 407 Rail Transitway is equally as important if not more important than the Lakeshore Line.
The plan provides a frame work for new sustainable growth that would eliminate 25 million tons of CO2 emission yearly. Which is the equivalent of planting 1 billion adult trees with an annual savings of $5 billion (carbon tax of $200 per ton) a year. Helps reduce Gridlock with an annual savings of $10-15 billion dollars annually. Eliminate 450,000,000,000 vehicle miles travelled yearly in the GTAH, with a annual saving of 52,125,000,000 litres. Reduces health care costs because less pollutants will be going into the atmosphere. The 407 Transitways Transit Dependent Development will deliver 1,000,000 more cars off the roads - 1,000,000 more people will be taking transit on a daily basis over time as this corridor gets build out.
Conclusions:
Framework for grow in Quebec/Ontarios Mega Region - GDP will growth from 600 billion to 1.5 trillion over the next 50 years We cant get density without rail transit and rail transit without density - conundrum Plan and design for 80% modal split on the 407 Transitway Network by integrating TDD into all the stations Planning the 407 Transitway is much more than a environment assessment (E/A) to determine the route - it is the future of Ontario. E/As process for Rail Transit, should determine the most direct route and then mitigate the environment Holistic planning to ensure implementation of the vision of moving people, jobs, competitiveness and prosperity for all Eliminate all the barriers to ensure success - get rid of the government silos The transit network should be people, environmentally and operationally friendly Rail Transit will change land use but buses wont Innovative, flexible design & management, alternative financing, employ leading technology, private sector involvement, Design a synchronous network versus the asynchronous networks we have today ... build in network versatility Need for a competitive Request for Proposal Process (RFP), alternative financing and a sense of urgency to get things done
Peak Oil: In the not-too-distant future, whether we like it or not, the price of gasoline will begin a rise that will
Economy: Heres the question: Will we decide to reinvest in a global economy and an infrastructure that keeps
us bound to oil consumption for every dollar of wealth we produce? If so, we are committing ourselves to a damaging cycle of recessions and recoveries that keeps repeating itself as the economy keep banging its head on oil prices. If we go this route oil will soon lead or peak GDP.
Or we can change. Not only must we decouple our economy from oil but we must re-engineer our lives and way of life to adopt to a world of growing energy scarcity. And that means learning to live using less energy.
Need A Rail Transit Environmental Assessment: China just open the longest high-speed rail transitway
in the world at 1,000 kilometers long. It took South China Rail 4 years to design, plan and built and it will operate at a top speed of 394 kilometers a hour. Meanwhile MTO has been doing an Environmental Assessment for the first 23 kilometre segment of a 140 kilometres high speed (top 60-80 kilometers at hour) 407 Rail Transitway. This has already taken MTO over 4 years and the Transitway is initially being designated for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and then converted to rail at sometime in the future. The GTA-York Region already exceeds the population of the Vancouver BRT line which was just recently replaced by the Canada Line and Ottawa wants to replace their BRT as soon as possible too. Why is the 407 Transitway being designed for bus first? Times have changed, climate change, global warming, end of cheap oil, need for a competitive economy to create jobs and the emphasis on transit dependent development should tell us to go directly to high-speed rail transit. Meanwhile in the same 4 years, China has designed and built over 13,500 kilometres of high-speed elevated rail transit that goes at speeds in excess of 350 kilometres per hour. By 2050, China will have over 100,000 kilometres of high-speed rail in operation. China is building 4,500 kilometres of elevated high-speed rail transit a year. The 407 Rail Transitway should plan the most direct and quickest route and then mitigate the environment. There is something wrong with this picture. At this pace and the cost of construction, we will be a third world country by the time we build anything.
Places to Grow: The Places to Grow Act was a major Provincial Policy legislation which indicated where growth could occur within the GTAH and Niagara Escarpment. However, over the next 25 years the GTAH could build 2 between 10,000 and 25,000 condo buildings, but if not strategically located, it will not add up to any significant contribution towards solving the problems facing the growth of the GTAH - Rapid Rail Transit Backbone Network.
Leadership is needed from the Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier of Ontario for the transformation of the 407 Transitway corridor spine into a major Ontario mega-region economic engine: All levels of Governments Ministries, Agencies, Crown Corporations, 407ETR and Hydro One must work together has a Can Do team to make the growth of the Ontario mega-region economy happen.
High-Speed Rail Network is the Economy: It is estimated that the 407 corridor has approximately 1 trillion dollars of economic development potential if the proper transit dependent development solution is designed, planned and implemented. If we continue down our present path of connecting the northern part of the GTA with bus, it will be a small fraction of its potential. Anchor Hubs in Markham: Transit Dependent Development (TDD) will demonstrate, to North America and the world, that combining targeted residential densities with integrated transit infrastructure in a mixed-use, ecologically designed community will lead to dramatic reductions in the environmental footprint of urban development. Integrated residential density is the critical ingredient for a true quantum leap in sustainability. Only at larger increments of development are resource-efficient systems like cogeneration, anaerobic digesters and personal rapid transit (PRT) systems viable and effective. Only a significant concentrated residential population can support the shops, offices, and civic services that make a community balanced and livable.

P3, TDD and 407 Technology Motions: A public-private partnership is, A cooperative venture between the public and private sectors, built on the expertise of each partner, that best meets clearly defined public needs through appropriate allocation of resources, risks and rewards. Spanning the 407 Highway: Imagine joining Richmond Hill/Langstaff Gateway or the divided Markham Centre (Provincial Growth Centres) by innovations, such as creating useable urban space over the 407 Highway which is an urban separator today. The Golden Economic River: Especially critical to the economic success and the future of urban centers is the rail transit spine network. The development of competitiveness, quality of life and environmental protection in urban areas is unachievable without a functioning mass rail transit service. Try to Leave Everything Better that What We Inherited: The United States has 750 cars for every 1,000 people. China, on the other hand, has 4 cars for every 1,000 people. If China gets to only half the ownership rate of the United States, it means an additional 400 million cars on the road, looking for gasoline. Thats almost like adding another two United States worth of cars to the world. Moreover, even if the price of oil gets so high that it creates serious demand destruction in places like the United States and Europe, the use of oil will still increase in economics such as Chinas which is growing at a 10% clip. Growth that size doesnt evaporate overnight, and economies, especially Chinas, need oil and energy to grow. The worlds total population will jump by 1 billion people in the coming 11 years, but the middle class will add 1.8 billion to its ranks, 600 million of them in China alone. Middle class will comprise 52% of the earths total population by 2020. Chinas middle class will be the worlds largest in 2025 and Indias will be ten times its current size. There remains little easy-to-get oil. After 147 years of almost uninterrupted supply growth to a record output of some 81-82 million barrels/day in the summer 2006, crude oil production has since entered its irreversible decline. This exceptional reversal alters the energy supply equation upon which life on our planet is based. It will come to place pressure upon the use of all other sources of energy - be it natural gas, coal, nuclear power, and all types of sundry renewables especially biofuels. It will come to affect everything else under the sun.

Taking 407 Rail Transitway to the Local Viva Bus Terminal Poor Transit Planning and Vision
Frame Markhams growth issues in a comprehensive manner, clearly expressing the role of land use in meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets through integrated defensible analysis (land and water consumption, vehicle miles traveled, air pollution, infrastructure costs and building-related energy and water use and cost). Connect provincial and national goals for energy independence, energy efficiency, and green job creation to land use and transportation investments. Connectivity: Bounded by Highway 7 and the 407ETR, and served by a network of local streets, Markham Live is easy to access and parking will be available for 6,000 cars. A system of interconnected transit service converging at the on-site Unionville Go-Train Station will provide easily accessed and rapid service to and from Markham Live, including the 407 Transitway connecting to seven GoTransit lines, four light rail lines and the Yonge and Spadina subway lines. 407 Transitway is the GTAs Mega-Region Economic Alternative: Emergence of rail-connected nodes or hubs along the 407 Economic Corridor throughout the GTA Mega-Region will spark a new economic opportunity for development and intensification that cannot be ignored or allowed to proceed piecemeal. The Mega-Region has outgrown traditional transit migration via bus ways. Population and densities being planned and their implementation along the 407 corridor support the move now to the ultimate solutions ... light and heavy rail. Markham Live will be one of the major nodes in this 407 Corridor. Running in its own elevated, grade-separated track, the 407 Transitway will provide high speed service across the GTA Region enabling direct point-topoint travel between Oshawa and Burlington in under 60 minutes. The Public Realm - Pedestrian Friendly: Retail will be well-designed and appropriately integrated into Markham Live so that residents, tourists and shoppers can meet their daily needs through walking, cycling and transit.

The top twenty mega-regions in terms of economic activity account for 10 percent of the worlds population, 57% of economic activity, 76% of patented innovations, and 76% of the most-cited scientists. The Ontario Government, GTHA Region and Markham must develop a competitive transportation system that includes a high speed rail transit network, seamlessly integrating high density nodes where heavy rail crosses heavy rail, density around anchor transit hubs, and major transit interchange gateways, and other rail transit stops.
In order to ensure that we have a competitive economy, we must have a competitive rail transit network. Metrolinx, the regions and the communities that have major transit hubs must do proper Transit Oriented Development planning to ensure the success of its portion of the rail transit network. We should be able to work where we want to work, live where we want to live and play where we want to play. Proper connectivity produces choice, not congestion.

Seamless Integration and Connectivity between hubs Equity in Geography in moving between regions/municipalities Development/Intensification are drivers for aligning rail transit decisions Bus Rapid Transit does not change land use Rail Transit and density inextricably linked Transit + Investment in a sustainable way ( Integrating natural, built & socioeconomic environment) Rail Transit Backbone Network Solar/wind - electrification Bus Rapid Transit Fossil Fuel Based
That the Government of Ontario through the Growth Secretariat undertake a comprehensive Transit Oriented Development study along the 407 corridor for the purpose of identifying the real development potential, to optimize ridership and based on the best high-speed rail transit network solutions being implemented (Utilizing 50 year and beyond horizon)
The connection ultimately drawn from Retrofitting GTAs Suburbia is a bit paradoxical. Retrofits have to be really big to work. Piecemeal conversion tends to fade out before it can make a significant change in the life of a community. On the other hand, piecemeal conversion is pretty much where we are at this point. If we settle for this, we will not be able to build ourselves out of this situation. High-density integrated development and a rapid rail transit network are important tools in combating sprawl, climate change, and are key to achieving the critical mass that makes vital, walkable Transit Oriented Development communities possible. Approximately, 150,000 people move to the Greater Toronto Area each year. What is needed is to redirect some of that growth to the high speed 407 Rail Transitway corridor to help jump start the building of this critical and strategic piece of Transit infrastructure and thereby guaranteeing instant transit ridership success when the 407 Rail Transitway is completed. These fully integrated and complete communities need to be architected so as to accomplished an 75-85 percent modal split in flavor of rapid transit and lessen the dependency on the automobile. This will help reduce CO2 emission thereby reducing the carbon footprint and helping Canada and Ontario to attain our goals in lessening global warming and climate change challenges. The Ontario Government needs to bury the hydro lines to free up the lands for the building of high density transit dependence development within a one kilometre radius of these planned major 407 Transit nodes. The site densities have to be developed at a minimum of 700-1000 people or jobs per hectare. These major nodes need to be developed as destinations for office, commercial, jobs, retail, recreation, entertainment and residential. That is why we have developed Markham Live. Its the right idea at the right time we invite the private sector, federal and provincial governments to be a part of it. Running the GTA economy is complicated, so leaders seek simplicity. This is one reason they latch onto prepacked solutions that are easy to communicate. The problem with the Metrolinx plan is that it lacks vision, and a strategic direction. The Metrolinx plan is Lakeshore centric, City of Toronto centric and basically a Go-Transit connectivity and maintenance plan. Even the Places To Growth act doesnt really address a strategic architecture blueprint and implementation strategic plan that addresses support for a rail transit spine. The next 20 years the development industry could build approximately 5,000 - 10,000 high-rise condo buildings within the GTA, but they probably will not solve the grid-lock challenge because they were not strategically situated in a transit environment.

and implemented. If we continue down our present path of connecting the northern part of the GTA with bus, it will be a fraction of its potential. Taking four years to do an environmental assessment for just 23 kilometres of 407 transitway and especially for bus is absurd. The 407 transitway should be designed for speed, operational efficiency and transit ridership convenience. The best route should be selected and engineered, then mitigate the environment. Need to think of burying hydro lines, building over the 407 Highway to bridge hostile interfaces and development compact, intense integrate communities around major transit nodes instead of marginalizing the provinces $815 billion investment in the 407 Transitway and the harm it could have on the GTA economy.
The Premier get involved in the transformation of the 407 Transitway Corridor

Economic Generator: The 407 Transitway is a true economic generator for the Greater Toronto area if it is incorporated with the planning of Transit Dependent Development around the major rail transit stops. During the next 50 years, it is estimated that the world population will increase by forty-six percent or 3 billion people; eight million more people will call the GTA mega-region home. More than 84% of these people will settle within 15 kilometres on either side (green shaded area) of the proposed 407 transitway corridor from Oshawa to Hamilton rather than settling within the City of Toronto or along the Lakeshore corridor (pink shaded area) from Oshawa to Hamilton. 14 It is estimated that the 407 corridor has approximately 1 trillion dollars of economic development potential if the proper transit dependent development solution is designed, planned
That the Government of Ontario through the Growth Secretariat undertake a comprehensive Transit Dependent Development (TDD) Corridor Study along the 407 corridor for the purpose of identifying the real development potential, to optimize transit ridership and design and based on the best high-speed rail transit network solution (utilizing a 50 year horizon and beyond).
80 to 84% of the growth within the mega region over the next fifty years will occur within 15 km of the 407 Transitway Corridor. 407 Transitway is a high-speed grade separated (should be elevated and electrified) rail transit facility paralleling 407 Highway. 407 Transitway extends from Burlington to Oshawa 140-160 km Central Section - Highway 403/407 to Markham Road East Partial Section - Markham Road to Brock Road East Completion - Brock Road to Regional Road 34 West Section - Freeman Interchange to Hwy 403/407 Rail/Electrify approximately 10 million per km MTO/Go-Transit 407 Transitway 71 km 11 km 28 km 30 km 140km 160km 23km 23km 29 Stations 4 Stations 9 Stations 7 Stations 30+Stations 7 Stations $.230 billion $1.630 billion $3.85 Billion $0.45 Billion $1.04 Billion $1.35 Billion $1.40 Billion $8 - 15 Billion $1.40 Billion

Integrating High Speed Rail Transit System with Transit Oriented Development
Transit Oriented Development (TOD is the exciting fast-growing trend in creating vibrant, livable communities. It creates compact, walkable communities centred around high quality train/subway systems. This makes it possible to live a higher quality of life without complete dependence on a car for mobility and survival. Factors Driving the Trend toward TOD. Rapidly growing, mind-numbing traffic congestion Distaste for suburbia and fry-pit strip development Growing desire for quality urban lifestyle and For more walkable lifestyles away from traffic Change in family structures: more singles, empty-nesters National support for smart growth
Power of Seamless Integration: Light Rail/Subway moves 10,000 to 90,000 people per hour in both directions. Need 7 - 30 Trains an hour in each direction. 407 Transitway plus GO-Transit Lines integrated into Transit City. This would eliminate the need for 50 lanes of highway, region and local Roads because transit use would increase 10 fold.
The Power of the Grid offers more flexibility, ridership capacity, line load balancing, redundancy and travel alternatives for the average transit riders. It allows the service providers to design, implement and operate a more efficient automated rail transit network. The network above is lopsided and basically services the downtown Toronto central business district. It encourages building more office towers downtown and adding more G0 Trains to service the central core. Approximately 3.5 plus million people today live within 15 kilometers of the proposed 407 Transitway while 3 million people live along the Lakeshore line. The dark blue line going east west is the 407 Transitway. The Federal/ Ontario Government must start today to build the 407 Transitway to create a more balanced high-speed rail transit network and a level playing field for a competitive GTA mega-region. Nine GO-Transit lines serve the Union Station hub plus the 130km Lakeshore G0 Line from Hamilton to Oshawa. Seven of these Go-lines fan out from Union Station across the northern part of the GTA and cross the proposed 407 Transitway. Also, the Yonge/Spadina subway lines and 3 LRT transit lines will also interface and cross the proposed 407 Transitway. During the next 50 years, immigration will add approximately 8 million more people to the GTA population. Eighty-four percent of these people will settle within the 407 Transitway corridor. The current proposed method of interconnecting all these rail transit options going north and south from an east west perspective is by bus. It doesnt help when the 407 Transitway ridership modelling exercise was done using outdated official plan population numbers. It is very important that the province does a Transit Oriented Development study for the 407 Transitway and use these numbers. This represents very poor planning for sustaining a competitive GTA megaregion. Within 3-5 years of completion of the 407 Transitway will surpass the Lakeshore lines daily transit ridership.
Components of TOD Walkable design with the pedestrian as the priority Train/Subway Station as prominent feature of the area A regional node containing in close proximity: office, residential, retail, and civic uses High-density, high-quality development within 10-minute walk circle surrounding train/subway station Collector support transit systems including streetcar, light rail, and buses Designed to include the easy use of bicycles, scooters, and rollerblades as daily support transportation systems Reduced and managed parking inside 10-minute walk circle around transit centre/ train/subway station
Higher quality of life Better places to live, work and play Greater mobility with ease of moving around Increased transit ridership Reduced traffic congestion and driving Reduced car accidents and injuries Reduced household spending on transportation, resulting in more affordable housing Healthier lifestyle with more walking and less stress Higher, more stable property values Increased foot traffic and customers for area businesses Greatly reduced dependence on foreign oil Greatly reduced pollution and environment destruction Reduced incentive to sprawl; increased incentive for compact development Less expensive than building roads and sprawl Enhanced ability to maintain economic competitiveness
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) eliminates the need to develop thousands of acres of farmland. We need to plan, develop and implement intensification around major rail transit nodes.

The Langstaff Gateway Site has been identified as a critical urban infill redevelopment site, with ramifications far beyond the Greater Toronto Area. Designated a major regional centre and a major anchor mobility hub, it is a key connection point between north and south York Region and a gateway to both Markham and Richmond Hill, two of the regions largest municipalities. The Langstaff Site enjoys an unprecedented level of planned and existing transit service. Locating people, jobs and other amenities here will increase transit ridership; decrease dependency on cars, roads and parking; and create a more even jobs-housing balance. It will provide the larger community with access to the Langstaff Site: a new, pedestrian-oriented neighbourhood of jobs, shops, schools, open space, and community services, linked by walkable streets, public transit, and bike paths. The vibrant mix of uses will help people to accomplish daily tasks by foot, bicycle, or transit, as well as by car. The west (Langstaff TTC Subway station) and east (GO Train platform and Richmond Hill Transit Terminal) transit nodes are the primary hubs of activity for the community. The greatest densities of retail, high-rise residential, and office are around these transit-rich areas. Fully 25 percent of the 48 hectares site is publicly accessible open space; 15 percent is parkland. The site is connected east to west with a linear open space network of public parks and plazas. Mixed-use buildings with ground floor community-oriented uses face the central open space spine.
This Transit Dependent Development (TOD) will demonstrate, to North America and the world, that combining targeted residential densities with integrated transit infrastructure in a mixed-use, ecologically designed community will lead to dramatic reductions in the environmental footprint of urban development. Residential density is the critical ingredient for a true quantum leap in sustainability. Only at larger increments of development are resource-efficient systems like cogeneration, anaerobic digesters and personal rapid transit (PRT) systems viable and effective. Only a significant concentrated residential population can support the shops, offices, and civic services that make a community balanced and livable. The Last Mile Problem: Personal Rapid Transit is a concept that provides direct point-to-point, demand-responsive transit service to individuals and small parties. An automated control systems routes small vehicles along a grade-separated guideway system allowing passengers to reach a selected destination. Similar to automated guided transit (AGT), intervals between vehicles are very short. Ultra (Urban Light Transit) System is an electric, battery-powered, 100-miles per gallon equivalent, elevated personal rapid transit (PRT)system with many 5-person vehicles. First revenue service for the Ultra system is scheduled for London Heathrow Airport in Q4 2009, to serve Heathrows new Terminal 5. Working as circulator transit for office parks, airports, universities, and other major activity centers, Ultra is faster than a car. In these applications, Ultra makes carpooling and transit more effective, by solving the last mile problem.

Define walkable neighborhoods with easy access to schools, churches and community services
Metrolinx and the Town of Markham have identified a third Mobility Hub opportunity in Markham the Havelock/Cornell Centre eastern gateway, at the intersection of the planned Hwy 407 transitway and the CPR Havelock Rail Line. The Havelock Line will run from Peterborough in the northeast and dissect the new proposed Pickering International Airport to Torontos Union Station in the south and be a gateway for east and west traffic on the 407 Transitway. The eastern gateway includes lands beside Hwy 407, in the Box Grove and Cornell Secondary Plans. Both approved Secondary Plans identify opportunities for high quality employment lands near Highway 407 and the Donald Cousens Parkway. The Box Grove Secondary Plan specifically identifies the Business Park lands bounded by the Donald Cousens Parkway, Highway 407, Reesor Road and the CPR Havelock Line as a Regional Gateway, as a future site for a transfer point among various modes of local, regional and interregional transit facilities. The Cornell Secondary Plan identifies lands immediately north of Hwy 407 as Cornell Centre a mixed use district to be developed as a compact, high-intensity, pedestrian-friendly, transit supportive urban node incorporating a balance of live/work opportunities. The Cornell Centre area will provide for: Development of Avenue Seven as a high quality urban boulevard and major mixed use spine incorporating a regional transitway and characterized by higher density, multi storey buildings and retail/residential
Redevelopment and expansion of the Markham Stouffville hospital, and integration with surrounding wellness and community uses, including the new East Markham Community Centre Regional employment focus at the eastern gateway to Markham, where local, regional and provincial roads and transit corridors intersect serving as a gateway to the proposed future Pickering Airport An eastern terminus for the Avenue Seven regional rapid transit system and connections to future rapid transit along Highway 407 Transitway and CPR Havelock Line (future GO service) Use of green infrastructure technologies and practices, environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and conservation, and efficient waste management practices.
Metrolinx has approved this eastern gateway for a future Mobility Hub and convergence point for future GO Rail service (CPR Havelock Line), Highway 407 Transitway, and York Region rapid transit services along Highway 7. The Development Services Committee and Council of the Town of Markham recently authorized Town staff to engage a multi-disciplinary consultant team to undertake a Land Use, Transportation and Urban Design Study for the Havelock / Cornell Centre Mobility Hub area.

Many opportunities arise from the design of this ambitious project. They include knitting a large-scale project into a community with finer grain scaling and massing. We propose to achieve this balance by aligning the major part of the project along the north side of Highway 407. This achieves two things. The community is buffered from the highway by large scale buildings. It also benefits from a complex that is lively, urbane and socially animated. The 407 side of the development is designed as a large scale series of walls that the facility, and the Town of Markham, can promote events with large-scale graphics. The north side will include a green pedestrian road lined with trees, cafes, restaurants and other entertainment amenities, within the complex and on the opposite side of the proposed street.
As a regional transit hub, Markham Live can connect the lines of at least four different transit groups, loading and unloading up to 100,000 people a day from the time it is completed in 2013. It then can grow to a projected 200,000 250,000 a day within five years. Markham Live will be a hub of social activity for our community and an important global centre. In concert with Markhams Sports Complex, Class A Office Commercial, World Class Retail, Performing Arts Centre, and the Five Star Hotels and Convention Centre, Markham Live will redefine Markham and the GTA.

$ 24,000,000
Need to design the 407 Transitway and hubs efficiently from both an operations and ridership interface standpoint. Need the transit carriers like VIVA and MTO Transitway Projects to think of the big picture. The 407 corridor is the highest transit priority and has the greatest impact on the GTA economy. Need to use where possible the 407 real estate for transit hubs, etc. Need 50 the 407ETR and MTO to work cooperatively and seamlessly to ensure the best 407 Transitway interfaces possible. A competitive economy is the key fundamental driver.

Seconded by: Mayor Frank Scarpitti Subject: Yonge Subway Resolution to the Premier, Ministers of Public Infrastructure Renewal/Energy and Transportation
Whereas on June 15th 2007, the Honorable Dalton McGuinty Premier of the Province of Ontario and the Honorable Donna Cansfield then Minister of Transportation made a joint AnnouncementMove Ontario 2020, and Whereas this joint announcement stated The Ontario Government is launching a multi-year $17.5 billion rapid transit action plan for the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton that will deliver jobs and investment by reducing congestion, and Whereas the Premier also stated Tackling gridlock is one of the most important things we can do to build a strong and prosperous economy and Building a modern rapid transit system that moves people and goods quickly and efficiently will ensure we can attract and keep thousands of good highpaying jobs, and Whereas the Premier also stated The time to make this sort of ambitious but realistic investment is now. Our economy demands it and Whereas the Premier went on to say What is more, our families deserve it, because gridlock not only saps strength out of our economy, it steals time from our families and Whereas the projects listed as priorities in the Premiers announcement included the extension of the Yonge Subway line to Highway 7, Expanded express bus service across Highway 407 and Torontos Transit City vision for light rail across the city, and Whereas Transportation Minister Donna Cansfield said the projects will be built over the next 12 years and financed over 50 years, and Whereas the Premier stated that The GTA is one of the fastest growing regions in North America, increasing its population by approximately 100,000 people and 50,000 cars every year. Commuting in the GTA currently takes 32 per cent longer than it would in free-flowing conditions. The economic cost of congestion in the GTA is $6 billion per year, this will rise to $15 billion in 12-15 years if action is not taken now, and Whereas recent transit initiative announcements by the Premier go a long way to achieving the Move Ontario 2020 vision, and Whereas the Region of York immediately after the June 15th 2007 Move Ontario announcement began the Environment Assessment for the Yonge Subway Extension at its cost to assist the Province in meeting its defined needs, and Whereas the Minister of the Environment has approved the Environment Assessment, leaving the Subway extension virtually shovel-ready, and Whereas the Town of Markham has completed a Transit Oriented Secondary Plan calling for in excess of 1,000 people and jobs per hectare (15,000 dwelling units and 20,000 full time jobs on 45 hectares) and the Town of Richmond Hill is completing a Secondary Plans for a major Transit Oriented Development, both at the Richmond Hill/Langstaff Gateway, and Whereas a platform capacity problem has been identified at the Bloor Yonge Subway Stations and whereas the large building slated for development on the Southeast Corner of Yonge and Bloor has been put on hold, this would be an ideal time to begin construction to expand the capacity of the stations, and Whereas the funding to VIVA for Yonge Street and Highway 7 Bus Rapid Transit is appreciated, there is the one noticeable gap, being the Yonge Street Subway extension, which leaves buses in mixed traffic and gridlock from Highway 7 to Finch Ave, and Whereas the Province of Ontario is in a position that is not equal in many places in the world, that is to have a made in Ontario Subway Solution: the tunnel boring machine, the rails, and subway cars are made in Ontario, the funding can be from Ontario sources and the leading engineers for subways are Ontario engineers, Ontario architects can design all stations and this province has some of the best contractors in the world. Now, Therefore be it resolved that the Honorable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario be requested to initiate the public process to implement the alternate financing method for the immediate Finance, Design, Build for the Yonge Subway Extension and the Yonge Bloor platform modification project and implement value engineering to study cost reductions, and Further that the environmental assessment be modified to leave the subway alignment on Yonge Street at Richmond Hill Centre and that consideration be given to a 1.0 kilo meter extension to 16th Avenue and Yonge Street. .cc : Ontario Minister of Energy and Public Infrastructure Renewal Ontario Minister of Transportation Metrolinx Ontario Minister of Environment Town of Richmond Hill Ontario Minister of Finance City of Vaughan
That the Government of Ontario through the Growth Secretariat undertake a comprehensive Transit Oriented Development (TOD) study along the 407 corridor for the purpose of identifying the real development potential, to optimize transit ridership and based on the best high-speed rail transit network solutions (Utilizing a 50 year horizon and beyond) and, That the study be undertaken by an world-class expert team selected by the province and, That the study include the following: All planned 407 Rail Transit Stops All GO-Transit stops upstream and downstream from the 407 Transitway All Light Rail Transit (LRT) lines that cross the 407 Transitway and include all their upstream and downstream station stops All Subway extensions that cross the 407 Transitway and include all planned station stops Transit Oriented Development potential within walking radius of each station and of each feeder station Looking at burying line within a km radius of the 407 Transitway Hubs or Gateway Stations Building concourses across the 407 linking divided communities or isolated by the 407 Highway Using TIFs - dont encourage sprawl The Premier instruct all the ministries, agencies, 407ETR and Hydro One to work together for the good of the economy and make it happen
Options that could include an elevated track Station locations that generally be not less than 4 kilometers apart Major anchor hubs that incorporate Transit Oriented Development, minimum standards in accordance with Growth Secretariate Plans and Studies That the railbed be as direct as possible and not incorporate Texas Ts z Engineering the most direct route and then mitigate the environment
That the railbed shall be environmentally friendly and practical (should be elevated for cost efficiency and speed) The 407 Transitway being the highest order of transit and remain in the 407 right-of-way Electrified transit rail (renewable energy based) Dwell Time be 30 seconds at each station Planned speed between stations should be 130-150 km per hour (same as BART Transit System in San Francisco) No stops at only parking lots Planned journey from Burlington (Freeman Interchange) to Oshawa (Harmony) (roughly 120 km) should be approximately 1 hour 407 Transitway should be design for high-speed Rail Transit (forget bus) and never leave the 407s Right of Way (ROW) The 407 Transitway Design options to considering the integration with the Windsor/Montreal high-speed train
That the study be based on the economic development potential for the 407 corridor for a 50 year time horizon and beyond and not the current 20 year community plans and, That the Province takes the lead on Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and Transit Dependent Development (TDD) That the Honorable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario be requested to immediately commence and complete the 407 Corridor Transit Orientated Development Study.

That the Environment assessment be undertaken for the entire planned Highway 407 Transitway, and be based on a transit solution that extends 50 years and beyond; and, That an initial transitway line be installed between Cornell/Markham and Highway 403/407 and be implemented as a prototype for clean, high speed technology. (This corridor crosses five GO-Transit lines and two planned Go-Transit lines, three planned light rail lines (LRT) and two planned subway lines); and further, That the Honorable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario be requested to initiate a process to expedite the planning, design, implementation and construction of the 407 Transitway, which is the most strategic transit infrastructure joining all communities in the GTA mega-region. This will give access to the 100s of thousands of jobs and residences in the 407 corridor. cc: Ontario Minister of Energy and Public Infrastructure Renewal Federal Minister of Environment Federal Minister of Transportation

407 Transitway Corridor Design Imperatives
Ensure the 407 Transitway has instant ridership success day one The aim is to design and build the 407 Transitway to move people as efficient and timely as possible The goal would be to achieve a 80% modal split by creating great Transit Dependent Development Nodes Cant get 407 Rail Transit without Density and Cant have Density without Rail Transit (conundrum) Bury the hydro lines where it is economical around major transit nodes and reclaim the land for TOD transit dependent development (eliminate the blight - return the earth to be more environmentally friendly and humane ) Design, Build and Integrated, rail transit dependent complete communities (retail, office, residential, entertainment, recreation, institutional parks and the public realm) Transit Oriented Development Built Form at 10-12 times FSI - 700-1000 jobs or people per hectare Build concourses, atriums, convention centre, sports facilities and fieldhouses over the 407 Transitway to link both sides of the 407 when and where appropriate Redirect the population growth to the 407 Transitways integrated Transit Dependent Development Nodes along the 407 corridor Use the 407 Corridor Lands efficiently - create a great pubic realm No surface parking - underground and structured paid parking only Design 407 rail transitway for 10,000 - 100,000 transit riders per hour 407 Rail Transitway should never leave the 407s Right-of-Way (ROW) Harness the Power of the Grid - create a versatile competitive network for the people living in the GTA Mega-Region - 8 Go-Transit Lines, 4 LTRs and 2 Subway Line plus 10-20 Bus Transit lines interfacing at station stops and will stimulate more north/south LRTs No station stops should be planned just for parking All station platforms are 200-300 metres long - to accommodate trainsets of 200 metres plus Create the Mega-Regions 407 Rail Transitway spine (the 407 TransitwayNetwork should be the Metrolinx Boards highest priority If a 53 Station 407 Transitway (milk-run) station design is needed, then design for 4 tracks instead of just two tracks Rail Transit Network should be design to be an synchronous network versus an asynchronous networks we currently have 407 Transitway E/A should be designed for high-speed Rail Transit (forget bus - obsolete business plan) Current Environment Assessment (E/A) Process is obsolete for Rail Transit - should be based on cost to build , operate and efficiency for both the transit rider and transit operations and then mitigate the environment GTA Economy Productivity: The 407 Rail Transitway should be designed and planned for a total of one hour trip across the GTA which includes travel and dwell time from Burlington (Freeman Interchange) to Oshawa (Harmony) roughly 140km The design and build for the 407 Rail Transitway should be grade separated and elevated tracks only
The Premier become involved in the transformation of the 407 Transitway Corridor
Places to Grow - 407 Transitway Corridor will contribute Up to $1 trillion dollars in economic development
Design, Build & Integrate the TOD (TDD) Development along the 407 Transitway Solarize the 407 Highway Corridor - 407 - The Green 407 Corridor Design the 407 Rail Transitway for speeds of 200 km per hour for local transit and 500 for high-speed from Montreal to Windsor Design speed of 130-150km per hour between 4km station stops - faster for express or longer distances Dwell time at all stations stops - 30 seconds - 407 Transitway is highest level of transit Design an grade-separated, elevated, straight as possible, electrified 407 Rail Transitway Eliminate Rupe Goldberg Interfaces - it seriously marginalizes 407 Transitway Investment - quite frankly it is an insult to the engineering profession Design the 407 Transitway Corridor to reduce the Carbon Footprint significantly Design, Build & Integrate as efficient and as tightly integrated as possible from the ground up an TDD & 407 Transitway Environment

Economy: In the not-too-distant future, whether we like it or not, the price of gasoline will begin a rise that will continue for decades. It will increase so much, in fact, that many aspects of everyday life will be dramatically altered and altered in ways that most of us wouldnt necessarily anticipate. For example, we envision a future where we travel by train, not by plane. One where todays distant suburbs gradually become ghost towns. I have gone through the different scenarios when gasoline reaches these price levels. What is the provincial and federal government doing to insulate the public in the event this happen? The consensus is that we have reached peak oil and any oil we find will be expensive and wont be the big oil fields of the pass.
UPS said when gas approaches six and eight dollars a gallon, well certainly be expediting the examination of their fleet and how they can move away from gasoline but at ten dollars a gallon, you can bet there will be real change.

$4 The Road to $20 Oil & Civilization Renovation: Consider this: The United States has 750 cars for every 1,000 people. China, on the other hand, has 4 cars for every 1,000 people. If China gets to only half the ownership rate of the United States, it means an additional 400 million cars on the road, looking for gasoline. Thats almost like adding another two United States worth of cars to the world. Moreover, even if the price of oil gets so high that it creates serious demand destruction in places like the United States and Europe, the use of oil will still increase in economics such as Chinas which is growing a 10% clip. Growth that size doesnt evaporate overnight. And Economies, especially Chinas, need oil and energy to grow. The worlds total population will jump by 1 billion people in the coming 11 years, but the middle class will add 1.8 billion to its ranks, 600 million of them in China alone. Middle class will comprise 52% of the earths total population by 2020. Chinas middle class will be the worlds largest in 2025 and Indias will be ten times its current size. The following two statements, in most sane circles, are accepted as fact:
z z The demand for oil will gradually increase and will continue to increase as the global middle class expands The oil that remains in the earth, will be more and more expensive to locate and extract
Urban Revolution and Suburban Decay In our current world, with our current attachment to individualized transportation, the New York city subway system, built anew, couldnt happen. But the world of $12 gas will be much different. In the world, subway systems will romp across our cities and course beneath our homes, rerouting America toward an urban ideal. As gas prices increase from $6 to $10 to $12 a gallon, the value of mass transit infrastructure will only increase, and more and more cities and their populations will think and want to behave as New York have been doing for decades. Taxes supporting new mass transit projects, taxes that would be outrageously unpopular in our current times, will pass with ease. It is important to realize, too, that electric cars, though they will be swingingly popular, cant and wont stop our assimilation into cities. Getting an electric car will be possible, but it wont be cheap and wont be plentiful; and our thorough change over to electric cars will take decades. In the meantime, many people will be looking to drive less or not al all. This movement will give rise to a massive shift of population as our fringe suburbs lose their value and our inner cities reinvent themselves again. When gas reaches $12 a gallon, Americans will feel themselves in a limbo of sorts, the nascent stage of electric vehicles slow takeover and gasoline prices so high that driving to the supermarket becomes an exercise of coasting through stop signs in neutral to save every precious drop of fuel.. The only thing real, the only thing proven to save us money and time and to stand the perseverance of market swings and real estate undulations, will be our cities great neighborhood and the infrastructure that supports them. Trains will overflow. New subway and heavy rail cars will be brought and manufacturing will revive on the back of this movement as the demand for light rail, urban electric trains and buses spikes to level unforeseen. The dream of one acre lots, four bedrooms homes, three car, and a suburb full of sparking big box stores will be shaken. The dream of America wont fail, but it will change. No city will reach New Yorks level of compression; but the densification of our cities is academic. It is a question of when energy prices and gas prices soar past $10 to $12.
Leads to the conclusion that price of gas will climb far past where were at right now and will continue to climb.

There remains little easy-to-get oil. After 147 years of almost uninterrupted supply growth to a record output of some 81-82 million barrels/day in the summer 2006, crude oil production has since entered its irreversible decline. This exceptional reversal alters the energy supply equation upon which life on our planet is based. It will come to place pressure upon the use of all other sources of energy - be it natural gas, coal, nuclear power, and all type of sundry renewable especially biofuels. It will come to affect everything else under the sun. $6 Society Change and the Dead SUV At $4 a gallon, North Americans cut back their driving by billions of miles. SUV plants were shut down, hybrid cars became best sellers. New Car sales lots became lonely places. Families cut back on vacations, rationed car use and left their 4runners and Explorers in the garage in favor of driving their sedans. At $6.00, our lives , our businesses, our families, will all be caught, unready for the coming cavalcade of evolution and adaptation that rising gas prices will bring. Monthly gas stations bills for families that were $500 at $2.00 will be $1,500 at $6.00. $6.00 gas, though its specter may sound implausible, isnt too far away, says Jeffrey Rubin, a respected economist and the chief strategist and managing director of CIBC World Markets. Rubin say gasoline will likely cost $7.00 a gallon by 2010. As a Result, he says Over the next four years, we are likely to witness the greatest mass exodus of vehicles off Americas highways in history. By 2012, there should be some 10 million fewer vehicles on American roadways than there are today Of those 10 million vehicles that Rubin predicts will come off U.S. roads, many will be SUVs. For the first time in American history in 2008, higher gas prices compelled Americans to drive 100 billion fewer miles in 2008 than they did in 2007. Higher gas prices could mean a skinner North America, Fatness costs the Americans a lot of money: 117 billion per year in early mortality and extra medical expenses and 112,000 deaths related to complications and diseases stemming from obesity When gas hits $6.00, asphalt will be more expensive than ever $8 The Skies will empty When gas inevitably climbs to $8, the airline carnage will be vast and it will come swiftly. To keep their testaments to human genius flying 500 mph at 40,000 feet, airlines use fuel thats classified as Ujet A1. Jet fuel is basically kerosene, and jet engines burn it like flash paper. A 737 burns about 13 gallons a minute. Plane people talk about fuel in pounds, not gallons, however, so thats 91 pounds a minute. A 737 flight from Chicago to Los Angeles burns about 25,000 pounds Jet fuel comes from the same oil-refining process that produces gasoline, diesel, and asphalt, so its price is a volatile as gasolines. With $8.00 gasoline, the American domestic network will contract to 50% of its current size. Planes burn an inordinate amount of fuel just getting up to cruising altitude, so shorter flights cost more per mile. Few people will pay $750 for a 200 miles flight, so major air service between cities in the same regions will cease. At $12 gas, trips less than 500 miles will be done by car, bus, or by rail. A standard coach ticket for a U.S.European flight will cost $2,000 on the cheap end with sustained gas prices of $8.00 a gallon. Airline terminal that once stretched like monolithic petals from a giant airport stem will be closed. The U.S. airline business is a big one. When half of it vanishes, it will leave a crater. Losing half of the airline business will ground 2,800 planes, 200,000 jobs lost, 13,000 flights eliminated, and $67 billion of revenue gone. The above figures apply to job losses only at the airlines. Thousands more jobs will be lost throughout the structure that supports their light network, jobs at airports, maintenance shops, plane caterers, rental car companies, travel agencies, aircraft leasing companies, and even airport peripheral players such as taxi and shuttle drivers. The economic damage will be deep and pronounced. This will be the beginning of the destruction of a major piston in our economy. A lot of people will have been set loose without jobs and without hope of employment elsewhere in their industry.
The Fate of Small Towns, U.S. Manufacturing Renaissance and our Material World There will be two things stemming from high gasoline prices that contribute to the obsolescence of big box stores that, in most cases, are located on the fringes of towns and suburbs rather than city cores. Electric cars will exist, yes, but cars and roads will not be the glue of society any longer. People will walk or travel to stores less than two miles from their home, not five to ten miles people now do to make a visit WalMart, Meijer, or Target. The second and biggest reason for WalMarts demise - will be the outrageous cost of maintaining the retailers vast distribution and product network. WalMarts model works because of cheap gasoline. The company is able to leverage cheap labor in China to make many of its wares because of the low cost of getting those products back to the United States aboard giant cargo ships. Without gasoline at affordable prices, goods from China didnt float in at mass quantities, choking a main Wal-mart Advantage. Flinging the goods around the country, from port to distribution centre to store, will be come prohibitively expensive. The Food Web Deconstructed Reshuffling the worlds spidery and sometimes nonsensical food web will be one of the last tricks turned by rising gas costs. The giant lever awaits at $16 gasoline. Everything starting with farming, will change. The changes will ripple through to things like fish and livestock, then to dairy and other animal products. Our fertilizers, mostly imported and made straight out of fossil fuel will change. We will no longer eat oil. The price of everything will increase, But these price increase will enable one to grow locally. When gas reaches $16 a gallon, natural gass price will become exorbitant. To sustain life we must have ammoniabased fertilizers. We used to use water to make ammonia 100 years ago and we will once again. Harness the abundant wind power to use electrolysis to make ammonia from water and nitrogen.

$18 Renaissance of the Rails The reason for our train systems demise are numerous, but theres one common stitch that binds all of that together: cheap oil. Cheap oil has enabled us to live where we want on our terms. Sprawling metros, enabled by cheap gasoline and the automobile, have pushed far away from centrally located train stations. The advent of a true high-speed train network will be the ultimate sign that our world has adapted to oils Scarcity. Fire-breathing jet engines and carbon dioxide-sputtering cars will fade off into history, part of another era of transportation for an evolving human race and civilization. In a world of $18 gasoline, high-speed rail is necessary to stay relevant to other world powers, some which have a large head start on electrically powered trains (150 for LRT High-speed and 400 km per hour for longer distances.. $20 The Future of Energy There is no reason why North America cant reestablish itself as a manufacturing heavyweight if we get smarter about how we use energy. We will need to, finally, orchestrate a comprehensive energy plan that secures our countrys supply of electrons far into the future. A big part of that plan will be not only finding new sources of supply, such as more wind and nuclear, but also shoring up the massive amounts of energy waste that take place every day. Every time you pass a paper mill or a power plant or a refinery of some type that is billowing steam or a flame into the air - and there are thousands across North America - youre watching raw energy spewed into the atmosphere. All for the simple reason that buying additional energy supplied by fossil fuels has been the cheap and easy choice for these companies to make before energy prices began their climb. Our electrical grid in 1910 operated at 65% efficiency, that means 65% of the power we made eventually got into the hands of end users. From then until 1957, the efficiency of our national power grid eroded to 33%, which is where it is today/ Cheap energy, however, drew the world away from such efficiencies. By capturing waste heat at just the U.S. manufacturing levels will bring 65,000 megawatts back to the grid, enough for 50 million homes. It is energy were already making and that comes cheaply-cheaper than wind, solar, nuclear, or even coal. The role of nuclear will have to increase in a world of higher gasoline and energy prices. Four pounds of enriched uranium has as much energy as a million gallons of gasoline. And there are no sooty nuclear emissions.

The car diminished but reborn It will require a mammoth amount of determination to change how and what we drive in this country. People wont give up their SUVs and their sports cars without a reason so compelling they can no longer deny its fundamental honesty. Ten dollars gasoline will be a crescendo. It will tear down bulwarks to progress and technology. It will change how we think about travel. And most of all, $10 gas will be the powerful force that nudges Americans away from their deep relationships with the automobile. Most people know change is coming; they may bury their acknowledgement deep in their psyche, but they know. 64 Gas prices of $10 a gallon may seem far away but if you look at the fundamentals of the worlds supplies and the certainty of rising demands, its a number we will almost definitely see within the next 8-10 years or less. Can we afford to gamble on the future?
