Waterfront Transit “Reset” Phase 1 Study

Coordinated Transit Consultation Program May 2016

Transportation Planning Section | City Planning Division Transit Commission Waterfront Toronto

For more information and to provide further comment, please contact us at: Waterfront Toronto Email: [email protected] City of Toronto Email: [email protected] Why Are We Here Today? The City, in partnership with the TTC and Waterfront Toronto, has initiated a “Reset” of waterfront transit planning. In the past, transit planning along the waterfront was incremental. This has left a series of transit plans in various stages of approval.

1. Connect waterfront communities locally and to downtown with reliable and convenient transit service: •Promote and support residential and employment growth •Provide more travel choices

2. Enhance accessibility (improved reliability and convenience) of transit service linking key destinations (employment, housing, institutional, education, cultural, recreational, commercial): • Better connect people to everyday places • Improve connectivity in neighbourhood improvement areas • Make transit an attractive option for more trips • Attract new transit riders • Improve quality of life

3. Promote broader City and regional transportation network connections
