    Issued on: Construction Notice August 7, 2019 Urgent concrete repairs and rail maintenance King Street West at Shaw, Walnut and Stanley Terrace Timeline: August 10 to 12, 2019 *Content / timeline accurate at time of printing What we are doing and why On Saturday, August 10, TTC track crews will begin urgent and essential work to repair sections of broken rail and concrete on King Street West at Shaw Street, Walnut Avenue and Stanley Terrace. Streetcars are currently operating at a reduced speed through the King and Shaw intersection for safety until the repairs are completed. All work activities will be contained within the track area and will include minor breaking and removal of concrete to expose the rail, replacing existing rail with new rail, and placement of new concrete. Note: Based on the location of the work areas, King streetcars and Ossington buses will be diverted for the weekend. Traffic and pedestrian restrictions Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction through the work zones until completion. The location and length of the work zone may prohibit left turns and street parking on King Street. The lane restrictions and work zone will be cleared on Monday morning around 5 a.m. after the newly placed concrete has cured adequately for road traffic. Work hours and timeline Work of this nature is required around-the-clock to ensure timely resumption of transit service and quality placement of concrete. On Saturday morning around 3 a.m., crews will begin setting up the three work zones on King Street West with barrels and barricades.

  • Bus Lane Implementation Plan
    2045.5 For Action Bus Lane Implementation Plan Date: July 14, 2020 To: TTC Board From: Chief Strategy & Customer Officer Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the TTC is a vital service in Toronto providing transportation to essential destinations including employment, healthcare, groceries and pharmacies. Although TTC ridership may be down to 22% of pre-pandemic levels, the TTC continues to serve hundreds of thousands of customer-trips on a daily basis. We also have learned through this pandemic, that bus customers have relied on our services the most - 36% of the customers that used buses prior to COVID-19 are still using the system as compared to 19% of subway customers, as of the week ending June 26. As the city and GTHA re-opens and recovery begins, it is expected that people who have the resources and option to, will return to private vehicles, taxis or private transportation companies (PTCs) more quickly than to transit in order to maintain physical distance from others. The TTC’s surface transit network plays a critical role in moving people around Toronto and we must enhance its attractiveness to ensure it continues to provide a viable alternative to the automobile. A key initiative to achieve this is the implementation of bus transit lanes, which will provide customers with a safe, reliable and fast service. The TTC’s 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook identified a 20-point action plan including Action 4.1 Explore Bus Transit Lanes. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop the following prioritization and implementation plan for the five corridors identified in the Plan.
