The functional design is intended to identify the location of entrances, exits and ancillary station (ventilation) equipment . Functional designs are not intended to provide architectural details for stations . The AFP partner will be developing designs for the stations and these will be subject to public input 16 EGLINTON WEST STATION 17 Eglinton West – Allen Station Local Context: Demand 18 Eglinton West – Allen Station Local Context: Demand 19 Eglinton West – Allen Station Plan View 20 Eglinton West – Allen Station Preliminary Station Concept 21 Eglinton West Allen Station Profile View 22 Challenges of interchange stations Interchange stations are much more complex to build than inline stations for many reasons: . Little clearance between existing subway and new deeper station platform which would require underpinning of existing subway structure . Existing subway stations and bus terminals must remain in operation during construction .Complex stations being built in already built-up areas . Interchanges with surface transit must be incorporated . Opportunities for natural light will be difficult due to depth of stations . Vertical movement must provide proper connectivity between two platform levels .Clear wayfinding signage needed for efficient passenger flow .Resolution of code issues arising from the integration with existing structures 23 BATHURST STATION 24 Bathurst Station Local Context: Demand 25 Bathurst Station Local Context: Land Use 26 Bathurst Station Plan View 27 Bathurst Station Preliminary Station Concept 28 Bathurst Station Profile View 29 Bathurst Station Primary Entrance 30 Bathurst Station Secondary Entrance 31 CHAPLIN STATION 32 Chaplin Station Local Context: Demand 33 Chaplin Station Local Context: Land Use 34 Chaplin Station Plan View 35 Chaplin Station Preliminary Station Concept Looking East 36 Chaplin Station Entrance Locations Primary Entrance Secondary Entrance Secondary Entrance 37 AVENUE STATION 38 Avenue Station Local Context: Demand 39 Local Context: Land Use 40 Avenue Station Plan View 41 Avenue Station Preliminary Station Concept 42 Avenue Station Longitudinal Section 43 Avenue Station Profile View 44 Avenue Station Primary Entrance 45 YONGE STATION 46 Eglinton Yonge Station Local Context: Land Use 47 Eglinton – Yonge Station Local Context: Demand 48 Eglinton Yonge Station Plan View 49 Eglinton Yonge Station Preliminary Design Concept 50 Eglinton Yonge Station Profile View 51 Eglinton Yonge Station Longitudinal Section 52 MOUNT PLEASANT STATION 53 Mount Pleasant Local Context: Demand 54 Local Context: Land Use 55 Mount Pleasant Plan View 56 Mount Pleasant Station Preliminary Station Concept 57 Mount Pleasant Station Longitudinal Section Possible Future Entrance 58 Mount Pleasant Station Profile View 59 Mount Pleasant Station Primary Entrance 60 BAYVIEW STATION 61 Bayview Station Local Context: Demand 62 Local Context: Land Use 63 Bayview Station Plan View 64 02/21/2013 Bayview Station Preliminary Design Concept 65 02/21/2013 Bayview Station Longitudinal Section 66 Bayview Station Profile View 67 Bayview Station Primary Entrance 68 LAIRD STATION 69 Laird Station Local Context: Demand 70 Local Context: Land Use 71 Laird Station Plan View 72 Laird Station Preliminary Station Concept 73 Laird Station Longitudinal Section 74 Laird Station Profile View 75 Laird Station Primary Entrance 76 Traction Power Substation .

You see, when Zuk was in charge Todd Latham PUBLISHER of publicly expressing capital budgets, particularly in the context of the GO Expansion project, he had done so by breaking down PUBLISHER Nick Krukowski the $13.5 billion spend by corridor.

  • Toronto Transit Commission/City of Toronto TRANSIT PROJECT
    Toronto Transit Commission/City of Toronto EGLINTON CROSSTOWN LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT TRANSIT PROJECT ASSESSMENT Environmental Project Report northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Croham Road. Interface with Existing Transit A bus loop is proposed adjacent to Caledonia Station to provide a direct connection between the Eglinton Crosstown LRT with the existing Route 47B and Route 47C (Lansdowne) buses which currently travel in a north-south direction on Caledonia Road. The proposed bus loop is located at the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Croham Road. Buses will travel counterclockwise through the loop, which will have one bus bay for passenger pickup/drop-off. To facilitate the proposed LRT/bus interface, the through bus services on Caledonia Road (47 Lansdowne) will be rerouted via Eglinton Avenue to a bus loop located east of the GO Rail line next to the main entrance. Northbound and southbound buses on Caledonia Road will turn west onto Eglinton Avenue, followed by a right turn north onto Croham Road then a left turn into the east end of the bus loop. After passing counterclockwise through the loop, buses will exit the bus loop by making an eastbound left turn onto Eglinton Avenue, and from there rejoin its regular route on Caledonia Road. In addition to the bus interface, there is potential for a future connection with GO Rail at Caledonia Station, which operates its Barrie service in the north-south rail corridor between Caledonia Station and the proposed bus loop. The potential future connection is shown in Exhibit 125 although exact connectivity will be subject to GO Rail alignment and platform configurations.

  • TTC 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook Round 3 Online Survey Summary
    TTC 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook Round 3 Online Survey Summary Survey Timeframe: October 2, 2019 – October 23, 2019 Total Respondents: 1,201 Overview The TTC hosted an online survey from October 2, 2019 through to October 23, 2019 to help inform development of the TTC’s 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook. A total of 1,201 people participated in the survey. The survey was available on the TTC’s website and was promoted through the TTC’s social media networks, City Councillors, and networks of stakeholders. It was not designed or intended to ensure a statistically significant sample. The survey was part of the third and final round of public and stakeholder consultation activities conducted for the TTC’s 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook, which will serve as a blueprint for continuous surface transit service improvements (i.e. bus and streetcar) to be delivered between 2020- 2024. Additional consultation activities in round three included two city-wide stakeholder meetings. Based on a combination of extensive technical work and public feedback received to date, the TTC has developed a Draft 5-Year Service Plan & 10-Year Outlook (Draft Plan). The purpose of the survey was to seek feedback on the key elements of the Draft Plan (i.e. Draft 20-Point Action Plan) to inform any final refinements before the Plan goes to the TTC Board for consideration by the end of this year. The survey featured questions related to eight categories, and this summary of responses is organized under the following categories: 1.
