    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions And

    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

    Number 77 WITH Markus Buchart, former leader, the Green Party of Manitoba MARKUS BUCHART has a B.A. (Hons.) from the University of Manitoba and an M.A. from McGill University, both in economics. He worked for six years as a Manitoba government economist, primarily in the finance department in tax policy and federal- provincial fiscal relations, and later in the environment department. He subsequently earned an LL.B. from the University of Manitoba and currently practices law, mostly civil litigation, at the Winnipeg firm of Tupper & Adams. Mr. Buchart was the leader of the Green Party of Manitoba from 1999 to 2005. He sometimes describes himself as "a recovering economist and politician.” This interview followed a speech, “Dissipated Energy,” delivered at a Frontier Centre breakfast on September 6, 2006.

In a way, we’re attracting the dinosaurs and non-competitive industries to come here, and Markus Buchart: Yes, they admit that. At a Public Utility that’s just a losing game.

    Network Optimization Final Recommendations Media Briefing April 13, 2011 1 Setting the Stage • On March 23rd we released a draft network optimization proposal designed to achieve $19.5M in annual savings for public input • The public consultation process gave us the valuable customer feedback that has helped us come back with a refined system proposal that better serves the needs of our customers • As a result, over 2/3 of the draft proposal was improved based on this feedback • These recommendations address key issues that were raised during the consultation period while still allowing us to achieve the designated savings of $19.5M annually through network optimization 2 Budget Context • Council approved 2011 Budget, which directed Transit Services to achieve $22M in annualized savings • The 2011 Budget includes free service to seniors Mondays and Fridays from noon onward, continuation of free Wednesdays for seniors and of the U-Pass program, and freezes Community Pass rates at current prices • If network changes are not implemented, our public transit system will demand a property tax increase of at least 5% by 2016 – this represents an additional $145M tax pressure for residents • The 2011 Budget builds on $21M in previous efficiency savings achieved by OC Transpo since 2008 3 Budget Context • Total savings to be realized in 2011 - $7.3M. Total savings on an annualized basis going forward are $22M • Saving of $19.5M annually and $6.5M in 2011 will be achieved as a result of “network optimization” • Savings of $750K will be achieved through internal efficiencies in 2011 • Savings of $2.5M will be realized in 2012 as a result of the purchase of double-decker buses.
