  • Attachment 4 – Assessment of Ontario Line
    EX9.1 Attachment 4 – Assessment of Ontario Line As directed by City Council in April 2019, City and TTC staff have assessed the Province’s proposed Ontario Line. The details of this assessment are provided in this attachment. 1. Project Summary 1.1. Project Description The Ontario Line was included as part of the 2019 Ontario Budget1 as a transit project that will cover similar study areas as the Relief Line South and North, as well as a western extension. The proposed project is a 15.5-kilometre higher-order transit line with 15 stations, connecting from Exhibition GO station to Line 5 at Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East, near the Science Centre station, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Ontario Line Proposal (source: Metrolinx IBC) Since April 2019, technical working groups comprising staff from the City, TTC, Metrolinx, Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Transportation met regularly to understand alignment and station location options being considered for the Ontario 1 http://budget.ontario.ca/2019/contents.html Attachment 4 - Assessment of Ontario Line Page 1 of 20 Line. Discussions also considered fleet requirements, infrastructure design criteria, and travel demand modelling. Metrolinx prepared an Initial Business Case (IBC) that was publicly posted on July 25, 2019.2 The IBC compared the Ontario Line and Relief Line South projects against a Business As Usual scenario. The general findings by Metrolinx were that "both Relief Line South and Ontario Line offer significant improvements compared to a Business As Usual scenario, generating $3.4 billion and $7.4 billion worth of economic benefits, respectively.

  • Ontario Line Initial Business Case
    MEMORANDUM To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Mathieu Goetzke Chief Planning Officer (A) Date: September 12, 2019 Re: Subway Program – Ontario Line Update Resolution RESOLVED, based on the report prepared by the Chief Planning Officer, entitled “Subway Program – Ontario Line Update” and any further amendments directed by the Board at its meeting on September 12, 2019; THAT the Board endorses the results of the Ontario Line Initial Business Case; AND THAT, the Ontario Line project be advanced to the Preliminary Design stage and further evaluated through a Preliminary Design Business Case. Executive Summary In summer 2018, the government directed MTO to “…lead the development of an implementation strategy for provincial ownership of the TTC subway network and other strategic transit/transportation assets in the City of Toronto.” This commitment has since been reiterated in the 2018 Fall Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, and in the 2019 Ontario Budget. In the 2019 Ontario Budget, the Province announced its plan to build four subway projects, with a total preliminary cost estimate of $28.5 billion. Ontario Line was one of the priority projects announced, along with the Scarborough Subway Extension, the Yonge Subway Extension and the Eglinton West Extension. The budget also included a renewal of the commitment to upload new subway projects and the existing network from the City of Toronto. The Getting Ontario Moving Act, 2019, which received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019, amended the Metrolinx Act to enable the Province to upload responsibility for new rapid transit projects, including subway projects, from the City of Toronto. A regulation made under this act has designated the Relief Line/Ontario Line, the Yonge Subway Extension, and the Scarborough Subway Extension the sole responsibility of the Province, through Metrolinx.

  • Metrolinx Eglinton Crosstown LRT Long-Term Temporary Traffic and Parking Amendments
    PW17.9 REPORT FOR ACTION Metrolinx Eglinton Crosstown LRT Long-Term Temporary Traffic and Parking Amendments Date: November 11, 2016 To: Public Works and Infrastructure Committee From: Acting General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Wards 15, 16, 21, 22, and 26 Reference: P:\2016\Cluster B\TRA\tim\Pw16022tim.doc SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the amendment of traffic and parking regulations at numerous locations for periods of up to five (5) years in order to support the construction of the Metrolinx Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The proposed regulation amendments form elements of road occupancy permits and construction traffic management plans necessitated by the construction staging plans of this project. Traffic regulation amendments include removal of a portion of the currently designated High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, rescinding of turn prohibitions and heavy truck prohibitions, as well as changes to all-way stop control and parking regulations. This report also seeks approval to install three temporary traffic control signals to facilitate pedestrian crossing of Eglinton Avenue during periods of construction. Pedestrian safety will be enhanced by signal-controlled crossings in locations where existing crosswalks are occupied by long-term construction activity. The proposed changes have been developed through consultation with affected ward Councillors. Some of the proposed changes, such as the relaxation of turn prohibitions all-way stop controls, and parking regulations would typically be delegated to the appropriate Community Councils. However, given the importance of handling these matters in a consistent, coordinated, and timely manner, and due to the broader significance of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project, the City Manager has deemed this matter to be of City-wide significance, in accordance with the provisions of Section 27- 152 of City of Toronto Code Chapter 27, Council Procedures, and as such they are being proposed for consideration by the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee.
