Port Credit GO LINE REPORT INCREASING SERVICE TO PORT CREDIT STATION • As part of GO Service expansion, we are electrifying the GO service in core areas and delivering 15-minute service to areas like Port Credit. • This makes it easier to travel across Mississauga and the entire GTHA. 1 PORT CREDIT GO STATION DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED SITE PLAN Quick Facts • 3.4 hectares of under utilized public Transit land – mostly surface parking. Oriented Development • Metrolinx completed a Mobility Hub Master Plan Study which identified a mixed-use Transit Oriented Development (TOD) opportunity. • The TOD supports Metrolinx’s vision to increase densities around transit stations to promote use of transit and active transportation. 2 WHAT WE ARE DOING AT PORT CREDIT STATION • Connection to Hurontario LRT • Transit Oriented Development (TOD): mixed-use development that includes residential, retail and office space. • Parking Structure for GO customers: will be integrated with the TOD. • Metrolinx’s Station Access Plan: approved in November 2019; identifies a need for 500 new parking spaces at the station. 3 NEXT STEPS AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT • Request for Proposals: to be issued soon to the 3 prequalified proponents as Metrolinx and the City of Mississauga work to refine the scope of the project. • Design and construction: timelines based on outcome of the RFP process; community will be engaged and informed throughout the process; any impacts will be minimized as much as possible. • Public engagement: once the RFP closes and we have selected the preferred proponent, there will be opportunity for public engagement. • Stay tuned for details on the progress of the project: we encourage you to sign up to our project mailing list at [email protected]. 4 Port Credit GO has been identified by Metrolinx as a transportation mobility hub, where different forms of transportation come together, serving as the origin, destination or transfer point for a significant amount of trips. It also is a concentrated point of employment, housing, and recreation, making them places of significant economic development and activity where office buildings, hospitals, educational institutions, government service and information centres, shopping malls and restaurants can be located. There are 3 types of transportation: - Lakeshore West line (GO Transit) - MiWay local buses - Hurontario LRT NEWS Metrolinx Makes Significant Changes to the LRT in Mississauga – Brampton line https://www.insauga.com/metrolinx-makes-significant-changes-to-the-lrt-in-mississauga The LRT is officially moving forward in Mississauga https://www.insauga.com/the-lrt-is-officially-moving-forward-in-mississauga .

This market-driven initiative assumes the proposed station would be planned and paid for by the private sector. Once built, the station would be transferred to Metrolinx who would own and operate it. The proposed station location is on undeveloped land, at the heart of both the Trafalgar Corridor and Agerton Employment Secondary Plan Areas studied by the Town of Milton in 2017. As such, the project offers the Town of Milton the opportunity to realize an attractive and vibrant transit-oriented community that has the potential to benefit the entire region. Option for Analysis This Initial Business Case (IBC) assesses a single option for the proposed station. The opening-day concept plan includes one new side platform to the north of the corridor, with protection for a future second platform to the south. The site includes 1,000 parking spots, a passenger pick-up/drop-off area (40 wait spaces, 10 load spaces), bicycle parking (128 covered spaces, 64 secured spaces) and a bus loop including 11 sawtooth bus bays.

  • Capacity Analysis of the Union Station Rail Corridor Using Integrated Rail and Pedestrian Simulation
    Capacity Analysis of the Union Station Rail Corridor using Integrated Rail and Pedestrian Simulation by Yishu Pu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Yishu Pu 2017 ii Capacity Analysis of the Union Station Rail Corridor using Integrated Rail and Pedestrian Simulation Yishu Pu Master of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto 2017 Abstract The capacity evaluation of railway station areas is essential for accommodating future growth in demand and new rail services. Conventional capacity analysis methodologies (analytical, optimization) have limitations due to over- simplified assumptions. While simulation tools have proven effective in analyzing complex station areas, the interactive effects between pedestrian and train movements are hardly captured properly. The study analyzed representative analytical and railway simulation methods, and applied an integrated simulation platform – Nexus (connected with OpenTrack and MassMotion) – to perform a comprehensive capacity analysis of the Union Station Rail Corridor. A 9% drop in on-time performance was observed and passengers’ average duration at LOS F tripled with the increase of train and passenger volumes. Both length and variation of dwell time due to pedestrian movement were recognized as the main factors of performance deterioration. The study also reveals the applicability and benefits of using such integrated simulation tools in other complex transit systems. iii Acknowledgements There have been many times people looked shocked when they learnt that this is actually my second master degree. Well, that is true. I did my first master in Industrial Engineering at the University of Windsor, worked in a logistics firm in Windsor for three years before I moved to the 6ix.
