    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Port Union Road – Environmental Assessment Addendum Date: April 14, 2014 To: Public Works and Infrastructure Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Ward 44 (Scarborough East) Reference P:\2014\Cluster B\TRA\TIM\pw14006tim.docx Number: SUMMARY An Environmental Assessment study for Port Union Road was undertaken in 2002–2004 and endorsed by City Council, with the Ministry of Environment-mandated public review completed in 2004. The preferred design solution, intended to address traffic delays particularly in the northbound direction, was to be implemented in two phases: the first consisted of intersection modifications to Kingston Road and Port Union Road, while the second was a widening of the road from Lawrence Avenue to Island Road, to be carried out in the future following an additional round of public consultation. The first phase of the work was carried out in 2005, with the intersection improvements at Kingston Road. The second phase of the works (widening), currently scheduled for 2019 and included in the Ten Year Capital Program, is being advanced to a 2016 construction date. The Addendum to the 2004 Environmental Assessment has included an updated traffic analysis, an additional public meeting, and modifications to the EA preferred design to reflect current conditions and minimize impacts to property and the community where possible. The revised preferred design adds a second northbound traffic lane as previously recommended, and in total consists of the following principal

  • Downtown Rapid Transit Expansion Study(DRTES) Phase 1
    Form Revised: February 2005 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. MEETING DATE: October 24, 2012 SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN RAPID TRANSIT EXPANSION STUDY (DRTES) PHASE 1 STRATEGIC PLAN ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Commission: 1. Receive and accept the findings of the, Downtown Rapid Transit Expansion Study – Phase 1 Strategic Plan, the results of which are summarized in this report. The complete report is posted on the TTC’s web site at: http://www3.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Projects_and_initiatives/Downtown_Rapid_Transit_ Expansion_Study/index.jsp. The study, which has been completed by a joint study team of TTC and City of Toronto staff, provides a comprehensive review of issues and options related to rapid transit services into the downtown to 2031 and beyond. The study concludes that: the Yonge Subway and a number of GO Rail corridors are overcrowded today; both GO and TTC have plans to increase the capacity of their systems over the next 10-to-20 years, including projects such as: o introduction of higher-capacity Toronto Rocket trains and the implementation of Automatic Train Control on the Yonge Subway line; o significant increases in peak hour train service on most GO rail lines, contingent on funding availability; by 2031 transit ridership into the downtown is expected to grow by 51%. The planned capacity improvements will keep pace with this ridership growth in many corridors, however, the forecast growth in longer-distance trips from the north and east in particular is expected to be greater than the growth in capacity planned for these corridors; DOWNTOWN RAPID TRANSIT EXPANSION STUDY PHASE 1 STRATEGIC PLAN Page 2 an extension of the Yonge Subway line to Richmond Hill would result in significant overcrowding on the Yonge subway line by 2031, even with the currently-planned capacity improvements in place; the construction of an initial phase of a “Downtown Relief Line” on the east side of the downtown would address these capacity concerns for the foreseeable future.
