21 Traction Power Substations • Eglinton Crosstown LRT requires 12 traction power substations (TPSS) to power vehicles across the 19 km alignment. • TPSS takes power from THESL, converts it to the voltage required to run the LRT and distributes it to LRT system. • Engineering study completed prior to the RFP determined number and location of TPSS. – Proximity to Eglinton Avenue reduces the total number required • On the underground alignment, eight TPSS will be located inside stations or service buildings. • At-grade, four TPSS will be free-standing structures on City of Toronto approved sites. – Building underground or lowering the grade does not meet regulatory requirements. – It would not be compliant with Toronto Hydro’s ‘Requirements for Customer Owned Sub- Stations’ or the City of Toronto’s storm water management guidelines: ‘Wet Weather Management Flow Guidelines.’ 22 22 TPSS Key Facts • Common to LRT projects • Prefab unit approximately 20 metres X 10 metres X 4 metres – Surrounded by architectural screen – In discussions with City Urban Design – Exploring public art option which could include community engagement • Meets all electrical regulations and safety requirements – Secured inside locked building – Electrical equipment also in locked units within the building • Only noise is from air conditioning units: – Maximum 60 decibels - equivalent to residential central air condenser – Noise level less than ambient noise from Eglinton Avenue and surrounding streets • No vibration • Security lighting for building will be installed behind screen • TPSS pose no public health risks 23 23 Location of At-Grade TPSS • TPSS 9: Eglinton East of Don Mills near Science Centre Stop • TPSS 10: Eglinton at Victoria Park near O’Connor Stop TPSS 9 • TPSS 11: Warden south of Eglinton near Golden Mile Stop • TPSS 12: Eglinton at Birchmount near Birchmount Stop TPSS 10 TPSS 12 TPSS 11 244 TPSS - Unscreened 255 TPSS Proposed Architectural Screen Graphic of Perforated Metal Fence Panels – Based on Design Guidelines • 4m height to visually screen TPSS unit from street • Modular design panels • Heavy gauge aluminum • Painted or embossed graphic image • Concealed posts • Frame and fastening systems to match fence panel • 30% to 40% porosity (TBD) • Anti Graffiti Coated 266 TPSS 9 – Before & After - Eglinton Avenue West of Don Mills 278 TPSS 10 – Before & After - Eglinton and Victoria Park 2812 TPSS 11- Before & After - Warden and Eglinton SITE WARDEN 2915 TPSS 12 – Before & After - Eglinton & Birchmount 30 18 Existing Examples Copeland site (in downtown Toronto) on Bremner next to Roundhouse Park is the second transformer station to be built underground in Canada Before After Hydro One Electrical Substation (John St. and Wellington St.) 31 23 Option for Public Art and Community Engagement • Potential opportunity to engage community in development of public art • TPSS screens are a ‘blank canvas’ • Could be used to celebrate the interesting and rich history of the Golden Mile and/or other aspects of the community • CTS consulting Scarborough Arts and local counsellors • Perforated fence design allows for the creation of dynamic imagery. • Above images provide examples showing the level of image detail that can be illustrated as part of an art installation. 32 Sunnybrook Park Stop Rendering AERIAL VIEW PLATFORM VIEW CROSSWALK VIEW CROSSWALK VIEW 33 Eglinton Avenue East Renderings PHARMACY STOP AERIAL VIEW HAKIMI/LEBOVIC SIDEWALK IONVIEW STOP AERIAL VIEW SCIENCE CENTRE MAIN ENTRANCE 34 34 East Portal at Brentcliffe Rendering 35 How we build the guideway - TRAFFIC SHIFTING - SAND LAYER - ASPHALT REMOVAL - INSULATION LAYER - EXCAVATION - BACKFILL - OVERHEAD CATENARY SYSTEM - BARRIER WALLS (OCS) FOUNDATION - TRACK SLAB - DUCT BANK - RAILWAY Excavation depth is 2 to 6 metres; width 8 metres. 36 8 Intersection operations during construction - Paving & Guideway Construction • CTS requires temporary changes to intersections operations from Leslie to Ionview for road paving and guideway construction: – Eglinton must be widened for LRT; road must be paved prior to guideway installation – Paving is completed in 2 weekends per intersection from Victoria Park to Ionview – Paving is completed in 12 weeks per intersection for concrete base intersections (Credit Union/Swift, Sloane/Bermondsey) – Guideway work in centre of intersection; no through north/south traffic for six weeks at each intersection; includes rail installation • Restrictions are not full intersection closures. – Eglinton remains open in both directions at all times – Work will not take place at adjacent intersections – Emergency services access maintained – Signal timing will be optimized at the main and adjacent intersections to benefit operations 37 37 Intersection operations during construction - Paving Paving work for concrete road intersections require approximately six (6) weeks of work per side. For other intersections two (2) weekends of work is required. 38 Intersection operations during construction - Guideway No through north/south traffic and no left turns for six weeks to construct guideway and install rail. 39 39.

  • Eglinton Crosstown Open House Panels Pt. 3
    Don Mills Station (Bus Terminal) At Open House 2 in June/July 2009, two alternatives were shown for the interchange with the Don Mills LRT. The preferred alternative is for the Don Mills LRT to operate at surface with an underground Eglinton LRT station. This alternative will improve the speed and reliability of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT through this busy intersection and will provide a safer and more convenient transfer between the two LRT lines and the bus terminal. 41 Wynford Stop At Open House 2 in June/July 2009, two alternatives were shown for this area. The preferred alternative shown here eliminates the need to climb stairs between Wynford Drive and the LRT. 42 Victoria Park Stop (Re-routed Left Turn) Northbound and southbound left turns are currently prohibited LRT Platform 43 Pharmacy Stop (U-turn) Northbound and southbound left turns from Pharmacy will be re-routed to the U-turn traffic signals shown on this panel. Motorists will proceed through the intersection, make a U-turn and then turn right similar to the U-turn routing shown on Eglinton Avenue. LRT Platform 44 Birchmount Stop (U-turn) 45 Kennedy Station 46 Traction Power Substations Traction power substations (TPS) provide system power to light rail vehicles and are planned with an average spacing of 1.5 kilometres along the surface sections and 2.0 kilometres along the underground sections. The specific locations of the traction power substations are shown in the roll-out drawing. 47 Emergency Exit Buildings An emergency exit building (EEB) is part of an emergency egress system that also includes a common stairwell vestibule between the twin tunnels, leading up to the surface level.
