TTC Board Report Archive Vanishes

Updated August 24, 2023: Access to the pre-2022 agendas has been restored through a page containing a search function by meeting type and date. However the path to the agendas has changed so that links from old articles to the agendas will now bring a “not found” response because they have moved from a directory “public-meetings” to “All-public-meetings”. This is another example of the TTC’s web management insensitivity to the importance of consistent navigation.

Fortunately, the links to reports have not changed unlike the situation in mid-2021 when all links to reports on the TTC website changed.

Thanks to an unexpected side-effect of work on the TTC’s website, Board agendas and reports prior to January 2022 have vanished.

The agenda page used to be created dynamically, but it has returned to a static format with links to meetings listed in a table. However, this table only goes back to January 2022.

The TTC advises that this is a temporary problem. All of the reports and agendas are still on the site, they just are not visible.

Without going into the details, it was possible to reconstruct the index information from a publicly available index file (sitemap.xml) which is used by web indexing services. The page linked below is a directory, pro tem, to Board agendas from 2005 to 2022.

TTC Board Meeting Agenda Index Archive

Although the TTC will, in due course, restore their directory page, I plan to update this archive with a subject matter index so that readers can find, for example, all annual budget articles without knowing the dates of meetings when they were presented. Stay tuned. This is very much a “spare time” project.

For future reference, this page is linked under the “Reference” tab in the main navigation bar.
