  • Dedicated Streetcar Lanes on the 504 King Route
    MEETING DATE: April 11, 2001 SUBJECT: Dedicated Streetcar Lanes On The 504 King Route RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Commission: 1. Receive this report for information, noting that: • TTC staff are working with Toronto Transportation Services and City Planning to identify the best way of creating effective, dedicated streetcar lanes on King Street, while fully respecting the needs of the adjacent businesses; • two of the options under consideration at this time are: i) banning all traffic, except streetcars, taxis, and commercial vehicles, from King Street during the busiest traffic hours; and ii) a full-time, permanent solution, with physical modifications to the street, whereby through traffic would be banned at all times, but vehicles would still be able to access each block; and 1. Forward this report to Toronto Transportation Services and City Planning. FUNDING This report has no impact on the Commission’s operating or capital budgets. BACKGROUND At its meeting on February 16, 2001, the Commission considered the TTC's 2001 Operating Budget and approved Commissioner Miller's motion which included, …that staff be requested to report to the Commission regarding… significant transit priority measures for the surface system, in particular streetcars. This report provides a preliminary and partial response only, to that request, and summarizes the status of staff's efforts to provide greater priority for streetcars on King Street. The results of this work are expected to be generally applicable to other streetcar routes. DISCUSSION TTC staff are developing a comprehensive plan to improve transit operations throughout Toronto, identifying ways to make transit faster, more reliable and, ultimately, more competitive with the private automobile.

  • Another Beautiful Day for Toronto Club's
    Summer 2018 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LV No. 2 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Another Beautiful day for Toronto Club’s AGM Saturday, April 21, 2018 More than 150 members of our club turned out on Saturday for our Annual Meeting, held once again at the beautiful Kortright Centre on a spectacular spring day. The day started with three vigorous hikes led by Barbara Euler, Wayne Crockett and Luisa Lee, and a photography hike led by Bob Humphreys. Following lunch the business of the meeting began. I had the pleasure of reporting on another excellent year for the club, with another year of excellent work by our volunteers across all our areas of activity. The full annual report is available for download on the members’ section of our website. Our new Treasurer, Karim Mishriki, reported on solid financial results for the club. The most important number to me in our annual report is the over $23 thousand our club was able to donate the BTC this year to further our important land acquisition work. Two new directors were elected: David Royle, a well-known hike leader, and Orest Nahacziwec, who has volunteered to take over the editing of Footnotes magazine. In addition, we are welcoming back Kevin Warburton to the Board after a vacation. Congratulations to them all, we look forward to their valuable contributions going forward. During the last year, we reluctantly accepted the resignations from the board of Brenda Brazier, Paul Vanhanen and Wayne Crockett. The valuable contributions of all these three will all be missed; fortunately, Paul and Wayne remain heavily involved as volunteers in our Land Management Committee and hiking program, respectively.

  • Results of the King Street Transit Pilot
    For Action Results of the King Street Transit Pilot Date: April 11, 2019 To: TTC Board From: Chief Customer Officer Summary The King Street Transit Pilot began on November 12, 2017 providing greater priority for the TTC’s King streetcar customers between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street over the past year and a half. From a transit perspective, the pilot project is a success: Faster and more predictable transit travel times: On average, streetcars now travel faster during all periods of the day and times are more predictable, making the service more attractive. Approximately 30,000 minutes of travel time are saved by King streetcar customers daily. More people taking transit along the King Street corridor: With more predictable travel, more people are taking King streetcars than ever, with daily weekday ridership growing by 16% from 72,000 to 84,000 boardings per day. Capacity grew on King Street through the pilot project to meet unprecedented increases in demand. Greater customer satisfaction with King streetcar service: Prior to the pilot, overall customer satisfaction with King streetcar service was low on key measures such as travel time, comfort, and wait time. Through the pilot period, customer satisfaction on all these measures has significantly improved. Improved efficiency and reliability of streetcar operations: Streetcar service on King Street is now more productive, with 25% more customers per hour of service operated. Overall reliability has improved with reduced variability in the busiest portion of the route. TTC and City staff recommend that the pilot project be made permanent as the King Street Transit Priority Corridor with immediate enhancements to the pilot design, such as improvements to streetcar stops and improved signage at intersections.

  • King Street Pilot Monitoring and Evaluation
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED King Street Transit Pilot: Monitoring and Evaluation Date: October 16, 2017 To: TTC Board From: Chief Executive Officer Summary The purpose of this report is to inform the TTC Board of the benchmarks of success for the King Street Transit Pilot, as directed at the June 15, 2017 TTC Board meeting. The King Street Transit Pilot will improve priority for transit vehicles along the King Street corridor, between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street. At its June 15, 2017 meeting, the TTC Board approved support for the proposed King Street Transit Pilot, and City Council approved the implementation of the pilot at its July 6, 2017 Council meeting. The target implementation date for the pilot is November 2017. The TTC has worked with partner divisions at the City to develop performance metrics and an overall monitoring program for the King Street Transit Pilot. The program will provide a means for responding to operational issues during the pilot, and provide a method for evaluating the overall success of the pilot. The success of the King Street Transit Pilot Project will be defined by improvements to transit performance informed primarily by three metrics: reliability, ridership and travel times. Transit performance represents one important element of the overall pilot. As part of the broader evaluation and monitoring program, information will be collected on a wide range of other criteria such as vehicles (including volumes, travel times, intersection delay), changes in active transportation, impacts on safety for all modes, curbside space utilization (including deliveries), taxi operations, changes in both on-street and off-street parking activity, changes in economic activity and local business operations, compliance and enforcement, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, use of the public realm, and public opinion.

MEETING DATE: May 28, 2009 SUBJECT: FIRE VENTILATION UPGRADE SECOND EXIT PROGRAM AUTOMATIC ENTRANCE AT FIVE STATIONS ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Commission authorize staff to convert the conceptual layouts of second exits from a daily exit configuration to an automatic entrance configuration at five stations: College, Museum, Dundas, Dundas West and Wellesley, as outlined in this report. FUNDING Funds for the Second Exit Program are included in Program 3.9 – Buildings and Structures – Fire Ventilation Upgrade Project, as set out in pages 781-792, State of Good Repair/Safety Category of the TTC’s 2009-2013 Capital Program, which was approved by City Council on December 10, 2008. Reconfiguration of the second exits to automatic entrances will require additional funds based on specific site conditions. The increase in cost will be reflected in the 2010-2014 Capital Program Budget. BACKGROUND A Fire and Life Safety Assessment Study completed in 2002 identified fourteen high priority stations requiring an alternate means of egress from the station platform. Subsequently, the Second Exit Program was incorporated into the Fire Ventilation Upgrade Project to provide a second means of egress from station platforms at the following fourteen high priority stations: Broadview; Castle Frank; Pape; Dufferin; College; Museum; Wellesley; Dundas; Dundas West; Woodbine; Chester; Donlands; Greenwood; and Summerhill.
