Waterfront West Station Jane Stop (Jane LRT Interchange and U-turn) Northbound and southbound left turns from Jane 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 At Open House 2 in June/July 2009, two alternative alignments in this area were shown. In addition to the preferred alternative shown here, an alternative where both the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and Jane LRT would cross northwest of the existing intersection was considered. The preferred alignment shown here was chosen because it provides faster LRT service for passengers. 26 Weston Stop 27 Black Creek Stop – Proposed Maintenance and Storage Facility * * At Open House 2 in June/July 2009, five options were shown for this area. Of the five options, the preferred option shown here is: • The most cost effective • Meets TTC operational requirements to and from the Maintenance and * NOTE: The Black Creek river valley is regulated by the Toronto Storage Facility and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). • Protects for future development of adjacent parcels. 28 Keele Station (Bus Terminal) 29 Caledonia Station (Bus Loop) 30 Dufferin Station 31 Oakwood Station 32 Eglinton West (Allen) Station 33 Bathurst Station 34 Chaplin Station 35 Avenue Station 36 Eglinton (Yonge) Station The location of Eglinton LRT vent shafts, traction power substation and emergency exits on the lands at the south-west corner are to be determined through a separate study. This study will also address ventilation requirements for the existing subway station and the future bus facilities requirements. 37 Mt. Pleasant Station 38 Bayview Station 39 Laird Station At Open House 2 in June/July 2009, a station was shown at Brentcliffe. Following the Open Houses, station spacing distances and current and future population and employment information were reviewed to determine whether the station should be located at Brentcliffe or at Laird. The results indicated that a station at Laird would serve about the same number of people as a station at Brentcliffe, but a station at Laird would provide better station spacing. 40.

  • Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update
    For Action Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update Date: July 10, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Customer Officer Summary The TTC bus network is very mature. In order to ensure that the network continues to reflect the way our customers travel across the city, staff has developed a program to review different segments of the city over time. This report provides an update on the status of the Junction Area Study. The objective of the study is to improve transit travel for customers by restructuring the bus route network in the Junction Area. In spring 2017, the TTC began the study with a customer survey to better understand customer travel patterns in the Junction Area. Feedback was also collected on existing services to identify key concerns for customers. Three key issues were identified: • No continuous transit service along Dundas Street West between Dundas West Station and Kipling Station; • No continuous transit service along St Clair Avenue West between Gunn's Loop (Weston Road) and Scarlett Road; and, • Need to extend the 80 Queensway from its current eastern terminus at Humber Loop to Keele Station via Parkside Drive in the late evening and on Sundays and holidays. Based on this feedback, staff prepared and proposed a preliminary transit network to reflect the data collected and address concerns raised by customers. The new transit network includes a number of service proposals that include restructuring and rationalizing existing services and improving periods of service on routes. In May 2018, the TTC held public information sessions at Runnymede, High Park, and Dundas West stations, and Gunn’s Loop to share the proposed transit network with customers and to collect feedback on the proposals.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • 125 Years of Toronto Streetcars
    125 YEARS OF TORONTO STREETCARS UPPER CANADA RAILWAY SOCIETY BOX 122 STATION "A" TORONTO, ONTARIO One of the Belgian streetcars which recently began running on a new line at the Grand Cypress Resort near Orlando, Florida. See article 'The End of an Era' in this issue. , --John Fleck Gulf Pulp & Paper Co. 0-6-0 38, on display at Mount Forest, Ont., after being bought by Christian Bell Porcelain. Further details in Feb. 1986 NEWSLETTER. Photo taken April 26, 1986. McCarten lP NFTA LRV 125 has been turned into the world's newest and fanciest 'streetcar diner' outside Hoak's Armor Inn, Hamburg, N.Y. The car was dropped and damaged irreparably while being deliverd to the NFTA shops in Buffalo; a replacement 125 was subsequently built and delivered and the '1st 125', which never turned a wheel in revenue service, was sold to this restaurant, probably for use as a cocktail lounge. July 28, 1986. McCarten SEPTEMBER 1986 3 Years of Urban Rail Transit in Tnronto On Sept. 11, 1986 we think back to the equivalent date in 1861, when Canada's first urban rail passenger service commenced operation: a horsecar service provided by the Toronto Street Railway Company. Mr. Alexander Easton of Philadelphia, a public transit entrepreneur of the day, obtained a 30-year franchise to operate animal powered streetcar service from the City of Toronto on March 26, 1861. The TSR was organized in May of that year with A. Easton as President and Alexander Bleekly and Daniel Smith as Directors. The franchise provided for service on at least a 30-minute headway, with the daily operating period to be 16 hours a day in summer and 14 hours a day in winter (the spring and fall seasons do not appear to have been recognized).
