Innovating on financing mechanisms, such as leveraging value capture, would help enable a phased expansion of light rail transit (LRT) along the Eastern Waterfront. Key Components in Brief Target improvement Component Description area(s) Connect the Eastern Light rail transit (LRT) A phased plan to embed LRT as the mobility backbone of Waterfront via rapid transit expansion Quayside and the Eastern Waterfront Catalyze delivery of new Value capture Given the lack of public-sector funding dedicated to the transit infrastructure financing mechanism Eastern Waterfront LRT, provide a new financing mechanism that allows government to raise debt for transit investment, serviced by future increases in nearby land value Connect the Eastern Bus services Anticipated bus service updates on the Eastern Waterfront via rapid transit Waterfront to best complement the LRT Forces That Shaped the Plan Sidewalk Lab’s active transportation plan is shaped by three forces: 1. Sidewalk Labs’ understanding of the necessity of a rapid transit backbone and its associated challenges and opportunities 2. Existing governmental plans and priorities 3. Input from experts and members of the public received in the public consultation and engagement process 2 1. Findings: the necessity of, challenges to, and opportunities for extending rapid transit along the Eastern Waterfront Quayside and the Eastern Waterfront cannot be developed without rapid transit. Numerous studies and approved plans have affirmed the importance of rapid transit for the Eastern Waterfront (Table 1). The area forms part of the eastern and western downtown "shoulder areas," where population and employment growth over the next few decades are poised to outpace most other parts of Toronto.1 Quayside is located approximately 700m (10-minute walk) from the nearest streetcar stop at King and Parliament and about 2 km (25-minute walk) from the nearest subway stop. Bus service in the area today, even before the significant population build-up and road congestion to come, is poor: the #72 (Pape), #75 (Parliament), #6 (Bay), and #65 (Sherbourne) routes are affected by congestion on their namesake streets, and this delay and unreliability cascades into the waterfront portion of the service. In 2018, on-time performance of these bus routes hovered around a mere 60% (Figure 1), far below TTC’s bus on-time performance target of 90%.2 The #72 Pape bus, today the only bus connection between Quayside and Union Station / the Financial district, exceeded the TTC’s peak-period crowding standard during the 2018 assessment.3 1 Waterfront Toronto.

Accessed March 9, 2019. Without rapid transit connections, Quayside and Villiers West residents, workers, and visitors will depend heavily on automobiles for trips to and from the neighbourhood. Congestion stemming from Quayside and Villiers West will add to the growing trip demand — and road congestion — from the already-completed and ongoing real estate developments along the Queens Quay East corridor. Stantec’s analysis of 2025 traffic conditions in the area shows significant degradation of traffic flow on Queens Quay during AM (Figure 2) and PM peaks (Figure 3), if there are no enhancements to mobility services and no changes to the proposed road network. 4 Figure 2. Projected intersection level of service near Quayside for AM peak, 2025, absence of any mobility enhancements (including rapid transit expansion) Figure 3. Projected intersection level of service near Quayside for PM peak, 2025, absence of any mobility enhancements (including rapid transit expansion) 5 This increase in congestion will have several deleterious outcomes. First, it will decrease the quality of life for all travelers, wasting time for everyone involved. Second, it will create deadweight loss: the difficulty of accessing Quayside and Villiers West in a timely and convenient fashion will discourage some travelers from making the trip at all, meaning that some jobs, residences, and commercial and leisure activity will go unfilled. This latter outcome will have a further effect on the pace and type of development for Quayside and Villiers West. Given the ongoing demand for living space in Toronto, it’s likely that condos will be built along the eastern waterfront, without rapid transit it is likely that significant office and retail space — generators of jobs and economic development — will not come to the neighbourhood. Without rapid transit, Quayside and Villiers West is likely to suffer a similar fate. That would be a tragedy not only for the district, but for the city as a whole: office development is crucial to Toronto’s TOcore plan, which aims to accommodate approximately 300,000 new jobs downtown by 2041, particularly in the east and west.4 Design enabling true LRT quality of service The new rapid transit infrastructure for the eastern waterfront should be true LRT rather than a traditional streetcar service. Streetcars in Toronto mostly operate within dense downtown urban grids, which feature close stops and mixed traffic. Taken together, these conditions result in service that is limited in speed and often features vehicle bunching. The fastest streetcar line in Toronto, #501L, has a scheduled speed of only 15.7 km / hour during weekday morning peaks, shortchanging rapid transit’s speed superiority over private vehicles in congested downtown corridors.5

  • Paradise Lost
    PARADISE LOST AFTER THE FLOOD; CAN TORONTO ISLANDS BE SAVED FROM THE NEXT DISASTER? The island flood of 2017 is a clear warning that we must do all we can to ­preserve the closest thing to wilderness that we have in Toronto BY RICHARD LONGLEY SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 IMAGES BY SEAN TAMBLYN NOW MAGAZINE Seneca­Pump The flood waters had only begun to subside, but over the August long weekend, the Ward’s Island Association annual Summer Gala was in full swing beside the Ward’s Island Clubhouse. The band played, and attendees wore T-shirts that read “I Survived the Flood of 2017.” “We laughed, we drank beer on the bowling green,” says long-time Island resident Jay Bascom. “We’d survived adversity in the past and we knew we could survive it again.”A veteran of the floods of 1952, 1973, 1993 and 2017 – as well as the “40 years war” waged by the former Metro Council to evict Island residents – Bascom is a living testament to the resilience of the Toronto Islanders. For the 20,000 people who visit them on sunny summer weekends, the Toronto Islands are a lotus land of meadows, woods, lagoons and sandy beaches (one of them clothing optional). But for the 800 residents, 30 businesses and two schools that call the islands home, it isn’t always paradise. The weather can blast, flood and ice them in from the mainland. The land they live on is nothing more than a bump in a watery sandbox that’s slowly sinking out from under itself.

  • Transit's Lost Decade
    Transit’s Lost Decade: How Paying More for Less is Killing Public Transit A report prepared by Steve Munro And The Rocket Riders Transit User Group About the Rocket Riders: The Rocket Riders Transit Users Group is made up of users and supporters of public transit in the Greater Toronto area. Our Mission is to support the efforts of the TTC and other transit authorities to provide a wide range of high quality, cost-efficient transit services during a time of massive financial cutbacks. We are concerned with public safety, public education, educating municipal policy-makers and the business community, as well as maintaining and/or increasing funding available to transit. The Rocket Riders are a caucus of the Toronto Environmental Alliance. For more information, contact: The Rocket Riders Transit Users Group c/o the Toronto Environmental Alliance 201-30 Duncan Street Toronto, ON M5V-2C3 Tel. (416) 596-0500 Fax (416) 596-0345 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.rocketriders.org The Rocket Riders gratefully acknowledge the support of the Toronto Atmospheric Fund, Transport Canada’s Moving on Sustainable Transportation program and the Toronto Environmental Alliance Educational Foundation. Toronto’s Transit System in Crisis Toronto’s transit system is in sorry shape. A quick comparison with the year 1990 shows ridership is down nearly 10%, fares have doubled in some cases, and most importantly the quality of bus and streetcar service has markedly dropped. Serious problems have also emerged for the Wheel-Trans system. In short we are paying more and getting less. Reduced funding from the provincial and municipal governments has been the main problem in the lost decade.

  • TO-Sidewalk-Labs-Vision-Sections-Of-RFP-Submission-Sm.Pdf
    October 17, 2017 Since its inception, Sidewalk Labs has been conducting a thought experiment with leading urbanists and technologists about what the city of the future might look like— and scouring the globe for a place to bring it to life. In March 2017, Waterfront Toronto issued Request for Proposals No. 2017-13, a call for an innovation and funding partner for Toronto’s Eastern Waterfront. After all of our searching, we knew this was the perfect place, and the perfect partner. Our response to Waterfront Toronto’s RFP represented a snapshot in time of our ideas about how to create a place that deployed emerging technology and people-first design innovations to address the challenges that face growing cities—and how we might realize this vision on Toronto’s Eastern Waterfront. We’ve decided to release the vision we laid out in our response, both in the interest of transparency and to start what promises to be a history-making public conversation. We hope all Torontonians—and city-lovers far and wide—will join in. Which urban challenges are most urgent? Where can technology prove useful in finding solutions, and where is it not the right tool? Which of our ideas are great, which are crazy, and what did we miss? We need your ideas, your aspirations, your critiques, your concerns. We hope you’ll email us, call us, tweet at us, and, if possible, join us in person at a series of public conversations, beginning with a Community Town Hall in early November. We couldn’t be more honored to have been selected by Waterfront Toronto to do something historic on the shore of Lake Ontario.
