  • Routing Changes - Junction Area Study Update

    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.

    Winter 2016-2017 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LIII No. 4 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee Friends and family, hikers, and Toronto Bruce Trail Club Conservation Committee members, about 75 in all, gathered at Limehouse Com- munity Hall on a beautiful early September Sunday. The occasion was the Grand Opening of a new Side Trail in memory of Todd Bardes, a dedicated and treasured Bruce Trail volunteer. Car and bus thru-hikes had been organized for the day to coincide with the early afternoon opening of the Trail. Peter Leeney, friend of Todd and currently Land Stewardship Director and past President of the Toronto Club, spoke of Todd's long history with the Bruce Trail. Todd joined the Bruce Trail Association in 1994 and had been actively involved with trail activities since 1996 both at the club level, the broader Board level, and most recently as President. In 2001 the Bruce Trail purchased the 39-acre Springle property just north of Limehouse. Todd and his wife, Christina, subsequently took on the role of Land Stewards. Existing ATV disturbance in the mead- owland portion of the property was an issue needing attention. Fellow Bruce Trail volunteer, Andrew Costley, came up with the idea of a community-based and monitored Side Trail through the meadow. Todd, along with support from other volunteers, wholeheartedly agreed, and through their efforts the Side Trail came to life. Andrew Costley, on behalf of all volunteers who knew Todd, spoke Hike Leader Training 2017 of him as a friend and mentor, providing both advice and leadership with wise and patient counsel.

    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.

    Eglinton Crosstown LRT Interchange Stations – Final Designs

    Report for Action Eglinton Crosstown LRT Interchange Stations – Final Designs Date: March 20, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Capital Officer Summary Metrolinx is currently constructing the Eglinton Crosstown LRT between Weston Road and Kennedy subway station, scheduled to open in 2021. This new LRT line will be operated by TTC and be identified as TTC Line 5. Approximately half of the 19 km LRT line will run underground, and connect to three existing subway stations. These interchange stations are currently under construction and will connect to Line 1 at Eglinton West Station (to be renamed Cedarvale Station) and Eglinton Station, and Line 2 at Kennedy Station. As the owner and operator of the subway system in Toronto, the TTC has a responsibility to ensure that the structural integrity of the existing subway infrastructure is maintained during construction, and that safe and efficient operation of the system is maintained. This report presents the final Metrolinx/Crosslinx Transit Solutions designs of the 3 interchange stations at Eglinton West (Cedarvale), Eglinton and Kennedy. Recommendations It is recommended that the Board: 1. Approve the final designs for Cedarvale, Eglinton and Kennedy interchange stations, as presented in this report. Financial Summary The Master Agreement between Metrolinx, the City of Toronto and the TTC, states that Metrolinx, as owner and developer, is responsible for expenditures related to the delivery of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit Project. The Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

The LRT will link to the Yonge Subway at Eglinton Station and to the Spadina Subway at Eglinton West Station. As part of the Transit City light rail network, this route will connect with the proposed Don Mills LRT, Jane LRT, and Scarborough-Malvern LRT. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT will provide modern, accessible and comfortable light rail transit service. The LRT will operate underground from Laird Drive in the east to Keele Street in the west, as the width of Eglinton Avenue in this area is too narrow to accommodate street level LRT.
  • Mobility Hubs December 2008

    Mobility Hubs December 2008

    Mobility Hubs December 2008 1. Introduction This is one in a series of backgrounders that have been produced by Metrolinx to provide further explanation and clarification on the policies and directions of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The RTP is available for downloading at www.metrolinx.com. This backgrounder should be read as an accompaniment to Strategy 7 of the RTP. It is intended to provide additional detail on the mobility hub policies of the RTP and clarification of the terms and definitions used in the RTP with respect to mobility hubs. Metrolinx wishes to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of Urban Strategies Inc. and IBI Group to the preparation of this backgrounder. 2. What is a Mobility Hub? The mobility hub policies of the RTP build on the overall policy framework established in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, particularly those related to major transit station areas. The Growth Plan defines major transit station areas as the area within a 500m radius (10 minute walk) of any existing or planned higher order transit station within a settlement area or around a major bus depot in an urban core. Major transit station areas that are particularly significant for the regional rapid transit system are recognized as mobility hubs in the RTP. Mobility hubs are major transit station areas with significant levels of transit service planned for them in the RTP, high development potential, and a critical function in the regional transportation system as major trip generators. They are places of connectivity where different modes of transportation — from walking to high- speed rail — come together seamlessly and where there is an intensive concentration of employment, living, shopping and/or recreation.
