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.

Developing Toronto's Transit Network Plan: Phase 1

EX13.3 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Developing Toronto's Transit Network Plan: Phase 1 Date: March 3, 2016 To: Executive Committee City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Cluster B and Chief Planner & From: Executive Director, City Planning Division Wards: All Reference Number: SUMMARY Significant investment has been made by all three orders of government to expand the transit network and address years of underinvestment in a critical infrastructure system for Toronto. The Toronto York-Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE), Eglinton LRT (Mount Dennis to Kennedy) and Finch West LRT will be in service by 2021. In order to sustain recent progress, planning for new transit expansion projects must keep pace given the lead times to plan, design and build complex infrastructure. The purpose of this report is to recommend advancing planning and technical analysis on SmartTrack, Scarborough Subway Extension, Relief Line and Waterfront Transit, in order to set the stage for upcoming discussions on funding and financing new transit. In particular, this report recommends: • Finalizing the SmartTrack concept by narrowing the planning analysis to focus on key elements: an optimized Eglinton West LRT extension to Pearson Airport; and two SmartTrack/GO RER integration options that propose an urban service frequency at 11 existing GO RER stations with 4 to 8 new stations on the Kitchener GO and Stouffville/Lakeshore East GO Corridors; • Approving Pape to Downtown via Queen/Richmond as the preferred corridor for the Relief Line, and proceed to determine the preferred alignment and stations; • Completing the review of corridor options and related work for the Scarborough Subway Extension, and develop recommendations to integrate the proposed, optimized Eglinton East LRT into the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus secondary plan; and identify areas in need of an Avenue Study to facilitate intensification along the proposed LRT corridor.

Eglinton Crosstown Open House Panels Pt. 3

Don Mills Station (Bus Terminal) At Open House 2 in June/July 2009, two alternatives were shown for the interchange with the Don Mills LRT. The preferred alternative is for the Don Mills LRT to operate at surface with an underground Eglinton LRT station. This alternative will improve the speed and reliability of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT through this busy intersection and will provide a safer and more convenient transfer between the two LRT lines and the bus terminal. 41 Wynford Stop At Open House 2 in June/July 2009, two alternatives were shown for this area. The preferred alternative shown here eliminates the need to climb stairs between Wynford Drive and the LRT. 42 Victoria Park Stop (Re-routed Left Turn) Northbound and southbound left turns are currently prohibited LRT Platform 43 Pharmacy Stop (U-turn) Northbound and southbound left turns from Pharmacy will be re-routed to the U-turn traffic signals shown on this panel. Motorists will proceed through the intersection, make a U-turn and then turn right similar to the U-turn routing shown on Eglinton Avenue. LRT Platform 44 Birchmount Stop (U-turn) 45 Kennedy Station 46 Traction Power Substations Traction power substations (TPS) provide system power to light rail vehicles and are planned with an average spacing of 1.5 kilometres along the surface sections and 2.0 kilometres along the underground sections. The specific locations of the traction power substations are shown in the roll-out drawing. 47 Emergency Exit Buildings An emergency exit building (EEB) is part of an emergency egress system that also includes a common stairwell vestibule between the twin tunnels, leading up to the surface level.
Regional Express Rail Update

Memorandum TO: Regional Council FROM: Daniel Kostopoulos, Commissioner Transportation Services DATE: June 22, 2016 RE: Clause 5, Committee of the Whole Report 10 Regional Express Rail Update Metrolinx staff released a series of documents on June 21, 2016, regarding GO Regional Express Rail Update. The Metrolinx Board of Directors will consider the recommendations in this report on June 28, 2016. The recommendations in the report are beneficial and of significant interest to York Region because they will influence growth, land use and Regional transportation service for the next ten years and beyond. It is also important for Metrolinx to acknowledge the significant role they have in addressing future regional transportation needs, including those required to accommodate the 60 per cent intensification and the 80 persons and jobs per hectare targets outlined in the Proposed Growth Plan, 2016. Attachment 1 is a copy of the Metrolinx GO Regional Express Rail Update staff report. Attachment 2 is the GO Rail Parking and Station Access Plan Update. Attachment 3 is a copy of the presentation to be made to the Metrolinx Board of Directors on June 28, 2016. New Stations are proposed in York Region on the Barrie Corridor at Kirby in Vaughan and Mulock in Newmarket Metrolinx staff have completed the New Stations Analysis study and have recommended two new stations be built in York Region, both of which are on the Barrie Corridor. The new stations are Kirby (Vaughan - near the intersection of Kirby Road and Keele Street) and Mulock (Newmarket – near the intersection of Mulock Drive and Bayview Avenue). These stations have also been identified in the 2016 Transportation Master Plan update.
