The Meadoway Guiding Principles The six overarching guiding principles are the core elements of the vision for The Meadoway. They will guide the Class EA, engagement activities, and restoration for the hydro corridor. BLUEPRINT FOR REVITALIZATION CONNECTIONS COMMUNITY & PUBLIC REALM NATURAL ENVIRONMENT & EDUCATION TRANSPORTATION RECREATION N Existing Conditions Transportation Public transit within the Regional and Local Study Area is provided by TTC Bus Service and Subway Line 3, GO Transit (Stouffville), and VIA Rail. In addition, a number of large transportation planning initiatives are being planned for the area and will intersect with The Meadoway, including the Eglinton LRT, the Eglinton East LRT, the Stouffville GO Expansion, and the Scarborough Subway Extension. The Meadoway aligns with the City of Toronto’s TransformTO Climate Action Strategy through the development and improvement of active transportation networks, providing greater access to alternative commuting modes and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Transit Crosslinx Photo: Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016. I. INTRODUCTION Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario selected Crosslinx Transit Solutions to design, build, finance and maintain the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) project, the first major transit expansion in 50 years. The provincial government’s $5.3 billion Crosstown investment is the single largest GTA transit investment ever. When it’s up and running, the Crosstown will deliver service that is reliable, comfortable and 60 percent faster than what is now available. What’s more, building the line is creating thousands of jobs, 2,500 at peak construction, and other significant economic benefits. The Crosstown is also unique because it is Ontario’s first large- scale public infrastructure project to contractually require the developer, CTS, to ensure that local communities and historically disadvantaged and equity seeking groups directly benefit from the province’s investment. Historically disadvantaged and equity seeking groups (H&E) refer to groups that have been historically excluded or marginalized from the processes and decisions that affect them. To meet this requirement, CTS is providing a range of employment, training and apprenticeship opportunities to these groups, as well as purchasing goods and services from local suppliers and social enterprises, whenever possible. 1 Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016.

    PILLAR TWO SUPPORT TRANSIT & INNOVATIVE MOBILITY SOLUTIONS Scarborough Centre on the Move Transportation6 Master Plan 97 Pillar Two Support Transit & Innovative Mobility 6 Solutions The second study pillar is the promotion of transit and innovative mobility solutions to move more people through the transportation system efficiently. Transit-oriented development and support of transit investment in key areas is emphasized in planning and policy documents including provincial plans such as the Regional Transportation Plan (The Big Move) and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, municipal plans such as the City of Toronto Official Plan and City of Toronto Complete Streets Guidelines (CSG), and local policies such as the Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan and McCowan Precinct plan. The benefits of transit are described in this chapter, along with details on the existing and proposed transit network and supporting strategies. This chapter includes mobility options such as local buses, subways, rapid transit (RT), autonomous vehicles, and other “smart” technologies that improve network efficiency. 6.1 Benefits Social Equity The regional transportation plan, the Big Move, envisions that 80% of residents will live within two kilometres of rapid transit, citing that access to frequent, fast, and affordable transit is crucial for social equity and cohesion. Transit provides access to society and the economy, particularly for those with low incomes who cannot afford to own and maintain a personal vehicle, as well as individuals unable to operate a vehicle, including the youth or elderly. Transit service helps integrate individuals into communities and regions to allow overall participation in employment opportunities and other activities.
  • Assessment of Provincial Proposals Line 2 East Extension

    Assessment of Provincial Proposals Line 2 East Extension

    EX9.1 Attachment 5 – Assessment of Provincial Proposals Line 2 East Extension As directed by City Council in April 2019, City and TTC staff have assessed the Province’s proposed 3-stop Line 2 East Extension. The details of this assessment are provided in this attachment. 1. Project Summary 1.1 Project Description The Line 2 East Extension (L2EE), as proposed by the Province, is an approximately 8 kilometre underground extension of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth from Kennedy Station that will have three stations – at Lawrence and McCowan, Scarborough Centre and Sheppard and McCowan, as shown in Figure 1. The Province's plan for the L2EE is similar to what was being planned by the City and TTC prior to 2016. Figure 1 - Line 2 East Extension Reference Map Note: Map produced by City/TTC based on current understanding of project Attachment 5 – Assessment of Line 2 East Extension Page 1 of 9 As proposed, the extension will be fully integrated with the existing Line 2 and have through service at Kennedy Station. A turn-back may be included east of Kennedy Station to enable reduced service to Scarborough Centre, subject to demand and service standards. The extension will require approximately seven additional six-car, 138-metre-long trains to provide the service. The trains would be interoperable with the other trains on Line 2. With the station at Sheppard and McCowan supporting storage of up to six trains, there is sufficient storage and maintenance capacity existing at the TTC’s Line 2 storage and maintenance facilities to accommodate this increase in fleet size.

    Toronto-Ontario Transit Update

    EX9.1 Attachment 3 STATUS OF PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS Background In April 2019, City Council considered a supplementary report from the City Manager on Toronto's Transit Expansion Program- Update and Next Steps (EX4.1d). This report included an attachment which contained a series of preliminary technical questions for the Province related to the four transit projects identified in the 2019 Ontario Budget, released in April. Throughout Q2 and Q3 2019, City and TTC staff have met with Provincial staff for the purposes of carrying out the technical assessment of the Province’s transit proposal as directed by Council. Through this process, City and TTC staff have received information and insight that informs the responses below, and is reflective of the various stages of design of the Province's priority projects. In some instances, further work and due diligence will be required as planning and design development progresses.

  • Applying Life Cycle Assessment to Analyze the Environmental Sustainability of Public Transit Modes for the City of Toronto

    Applying Life Cycle Assessment to Analyze the Environmental Sustainability of Public Transit Modes for the City of Toronto

    Applying life cycle assessment to analyze the environmental sustainability of public transit modes for the City of Toronto by Ashton Ruby Taylor A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography & Planning in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2016 Copyright © Ashton Ruby Taylor, 2016 Abstract One challenge related to transit planning is selecting the appropriate mode: bus, light rail transit (LRT), regional express rail (RER), or subway. This project uses data from life cycle assessment to develop a tool to measure energy requirements for different modes of transit, on a per passenger-kilometer basis. For each of the four transit modes listed, a range of energy requirements associated with different vehicle models and manufacturers was developed. The tool demonstrated that there are distinct ranges where specific transit modes are the best choice. Diesel buses are the clear best choice from 7-51 passengers, LRTs make the most sense from 201-427 passengers, and subways are the best choice above 918 passengers. There are a number of other passenger loading ranges where more than one transit mode makes sense; in particular, LRT and RER represent very energy-efficient options for ridership ranging from 200 to 900 passengers. The tool developed in the thesis was used to analyze the Bloor-Danforth subway line in Toronto using estimated ridership for weekday morning peak hours. It was found that ridership across the line is for the most part actually insufficient to justify subways over LRTs or RER. This suggests that extensions to the existing Bloor-Danforth line should consider LRT options, which could service the passenger loads at the ends of the line with far greater energy efficiency.
