  • Entrance Connection to Dundas Station
    Report for Action Entrance Connection to Dundas Station Date: March 20, 2018 To: TTC Board From: Chief Capital Officer Summary This report requests the Board's approval for a new entrance connection to Dundas Station on Line 1 through the proposed building renovation at 595 Bay Street (Atrium on Bay). As a result of the new entrance connection, the existing open-stair station entrance on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Dundas Street West, within the Dundas Street West right-of-way, will be closed. This report also seeks authority for staff to enter into a new entrance connection agreement and related agreements required to facilitate this new TTC entrance to Dundas Station to be constructed within the private development located at 595 Bay Street. Recommendations It is recommended that the Board: 1. Approve in principle the proposed new entrance connection to Dundas Station within the development located at 595 Bay Street and the subsequent closure of the existing entrance located at the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Dundas Street West, as illustrated in Attachments 1a, 1b and 2; and 2. Authorize the execution of a new entrance connection agreement, and any other agreements arising as a result of the development, on terms and conditions satisfactory to TTC's General 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.

  • Rotary Awareness Campaign Launched in Toronto
    ROTARY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN TORONTO Part of making sure that all visiting Rotarians will feel welcome in Toronto for this June’s Convention is to build awareness of Rotary within the Greater Toronto Area. Seven Rotary Clubs within Districts 7010 and 7070 have commissioned ten murals by young artists within their communities to help tell the story of Rotary and all the good it does in the world. These original works of art have now been put on display in ten Toronto Subway stations and will remain in place through the convention period. Each mural has on it the name of the sponsoring Rotary Club(s), the name of the Participating Partner and the Vibe Arts logo. Kennedy Station Kennedy Station Wilson Station Full size copies of the murals are also going to be on prominent display in the Host Organizing Committee Lounge at the House of Friendship. Wilson Station St. Andrews Station St. Andrews Station Following the display period the original murals are going to be given to the sponsoring clubs for their use. This initiative was produced in conjunction with VIBE Arts whose mandate is to instill self- esteem in youth through the arts.

  • Bus Bridging Decision-Support Toolkit: Optimization Framework and Policy Analysis
    Bus Bridging Decision-Support Toolkit: Optimization Framework and Policy Analysis by Alaa Itani A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Alaa Itani 2019 Bus Bridging Decision-Support Toolkit: Optimization Framework and Policy Analysis Alaa Itani Master of Applied Science Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Bus Bridging is the strategy most commonly applied in responding to rail service interruptions in North America and Europe. In determining the required number of buses and source routes, most transit agencies rely on ad-hoc approaches based on operational experience and constraints, which can lead to extensive delays and queue build-ups at affected stations. This thesis developed an optimization model, to determine the optimal number of shuttle buses and route allocation which minimize the overall subway and bus riders delay. The generated optimal solutions are sensitive to bus bay capacity constraints along the shuttle service corridor. The optimization model is integrated with a previously developed simulation tool that tracks the evolution of system queues and delays throughout the bus bridging process. A set of bus bridging policy guidelines were developed based on further analysis of the optimization model outputs using a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) model. ii Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank my parents and for their continuous support and trust in my abilities. Although they were thousands of miles away, they were always supportive, I couldn’t have made it here without their presence.

  • Second Exit Program Automatic Entrance at Five Stations
    Form Revised: February 2005 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. 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.

  • Solving the Issue of Streetcars Blocking Traffic at King/Yonge Junbo Liang, University of Toronto
    Solving the Issue of Streetcars Blocking Traffic at King/Yonge Junbo Liang, University of Toronto 1.0 Introduction Observation revealed that at the intersection of King Street and Yonge Street, streetcars blocked traffic seriously during green lights. To solve the problem, this report provides and evaluates two solutions, namely, streetcar platforms and Transit Signal Priority System. By comparing and analyzing, the superior solution, Transit Signal Priority System, is recommended in this report. 2.0 Problem Statement This section identifies the current situation, experienced problem at the intersection, and defines the engineering problem and three criteria. 2.1 Current Situation, Experienced Problem and Engineering Problem The intersection of King Street at Yonge Street is located in the Downtown Toronto core, surrounded by numerous office buildings (Liang, 2016). Both streets are busy thoroughfares in Toronto with 4 lanes (2 lanes for each direction) at the intersection. Streetcar tracks located in the left lanes on both directions of King Street are currently in service (Liang, 2016). King/Yonge station, located at the intersection, connects the busiest subway and streetcar lines in Toronto (i.e. Yonge Subway Line, 504 King, 514 Cherry) (City of Toronto, 2014; Toronto Transit Commission, n.d.). Two of the five subway entrances are located on the northeast and southwest corners of the intersection next to existing streetcar stations (Toronto Transit Commission, n.d.). (See Appendix A for intersection layout.) A 1.5-hour site visit at 6PM Sept. 16th, 2016 revealed that the streetcars blocked traffic seriously at the intersection while loading passengers when the traffic signals in their heading direction were green (Liang, 2016).
