  • Capital Projects Group Quarterly Report: June 2017
    MEMORANDUM To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Gerry Chaput Chief Capital Officer (Acting), Capital Projects Group Date: June 28, 2017 Re: Capital Projects Group Quarterly Report: June 2017 Recommendation That this report is received for information. Executive Summary The Capital Projects Group (CPG) is advancing a large and growing program, involving signature projects like the Regional Express Rail (RER) program, the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT), Finch West LRT, Hurontario LRT, Hamilton LRT and Bus Rapid Transit. CPG has made progress in the advancement of RER enabling works using the Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) model with the assistance of Infrastructure Ontario (IO). Rapid Transit (RT) projects are also moving forward with continued construction on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the recent decision from the City of Hamilton Council to approve the Hamilton LRT project and submit an updated environmental assessment (EA) for a 3 kilometre extension from Queenston Circle to Eastgate. Work continues on the management of the RER program’s scope, schedule and budget by introducing new systems, controls and processes and transitioning the program documentation to centralized, system-based record keeping. These systems will be leveraged by all CPG programs and are expected to improve reporting, provide for timely and fact based decision making and better coordinate messaging with stakeholders. CPG is also pleased to report the following accomplishments this quarter: - the introduction of all-day GO Train Service to the Stouffville GO Line to help manage congestion and improve commutes in Scarborough and York Region; - the announcement of the three shortlisted teams to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Hurontario Light Rail Transit (LRT) project; and - breaking ground on the Downtown Bus Terminal project which will be designed to LEED Platinum standards and connect to Union Station and to the PATH system.

  • 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.
