4 Our Coordinated Approach The City, TTC and Metrolinx, are working together on integrated transit planning within Toronto Rapid transit projects underway: Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE) Eglinton Crosstown LRT Finch West LRT Sheppard East LRT Rapid transit planning underway: SmartTrack / GO RER integration Eglinton West LRT Scarborough Subway Extension Eglinton East LRT Relief Line Waterfront Transit Reset The next round of rapid transit priorities will be identified through completion of the Feeling Congested? initiative and will result in transit policies and long term network plan in the Official Plan. Scarborough Optimized Transit 4

5 Our Coordinated Approach Scarborough Optimized Transit 5

6 What guides the analysis of transit projects? The evaluation criteria being used for each transit project are based on principles and criteria developed during the Official Plan Review process Feeling Congested? SERVING PEOPLE STRENGTHENING PLACES SUPPORTING PROSPERITY 6

7 Today s Agenda 1. Overview of our coordinated approach 2. Update of transit initiatives underway 3. Update: Scarborough Subway Extension 4. Update: Eglinton East LRT 5. Next Steps 6. Questions 7

8 SmartTrack /GO RER SmartTrack/GO RER will help relieve many of the transit network s capacity limitations, which currently affect many parts of the City, including the subways serving Downtown, the SRT in Scarborough, streetcar routes east and west of the downtown and individual bus routes throughout the City. Particularly, it will help relieve overcrowding on the Yonge Subway line and address congestion at Bloor-Yonge station. SmartTrack Option C Feb 2016 Mar 2016 May/ June 2016 Next Steps City, in partnership with TTC, worked with Metrolinx on the integration of SmartTrack and GO/RER Four (4) options for SmartTrack/GO RER were assessed. Options A and B were ruled out due to increased costs and significant community impacts. Council directed staff to focus work on options C and D Public consultation on SmartTrack and RER Integration Report to Executive Committee and Council on evaluation progress Continue collaboration with Metrolinx on development of preferred alignment and station locations for SmartTrack Options C and D 7 to 8 new stations Kitchener and Stouffville through service SmartTrack Option D 4 to 5 new stations Kitchener and Stouffville through service 8

9 SmartTrack Eglinton West Corridor Part of the SmartTrack concept is connecting the Mississauga Airport Corporate Centre (MACC) to other important employment districts, including downtown Toronto. A western extension of the Crosstown LRT to MACC and Pearson International Airport would improve access to these important destinations. Jan 2016 Mar 2016 May/ June 2016 Feasibility study of SmartTrack Western Corridor options recommends optimizing Phase 2 of the Crosstown LRT, approved in 2009 City Council direct staff to remove the heavy rail option and work with Metrolinx to optimize the approved Environmental Assessment for Eglinton West LRT Six (6) options assessed for further consideration Public consultation on emerging preferred LRT alignment and station locations Next Steps Continue to work with Metrolinx to optimize the approved Environmental Assessment for Eglinton West LRT Develop Business Case 9

10 Relief Line - Update The Relief Line would be a new subway connecting downtown to Line 2 east of the Don River. It would assist in relieving crowding on the Yonge Subway line and the Bloor-Yonge interchange station as well as provide riders with more travel options. Fall Winter 2016 March 2016 Mar-May 2016 Pape to Queen corridor emerges as preferred corridor due to engineering feasibility and ease, connection to key destinations and ability to meet largest number of citybuilding objectives (i.e. Feeling Congested? Evaluation Criteria) City Council approves preferred corridor for Relief Line: Pape to Downtown via Queen/Richmond. Analysis of alignment options. Emerging preferred alignment Pape to Downtown via Eastern Allows direct connection to Yonge-University Line Supports development Better supports Feeling Congested? criteria Next Steps July 2016: Report to Council, Seek authority to launch TPAP (EA) Summer 2016: Initiate TPAP 10

11 Waterfront Transit Reset - Update The Waterfront Reset will: Provide high quality transit that will integrate waterfront communities, jobs, and destinations and link the waterfront to the broader City and regional transportation network Phase 2, subject to City Council approval, would consider: Phase 1 will identify reasonable alternative concepts for a waterfront transit solution. Findings will be reported to Council in July, including: Development and analysis of Concept Families Preliminary evaluation of solutions to create a complete transit network solution for the Waterfront Advancing feasibility studies (including but not limited to demand forecasting, operational assessment(s), further developed cost estimates); Potential Environmental Assessment(s) or amendments to existing Environmental Assessment(s); Pursuing the implementation of short term strategic improvements that minimize long term throwaway costs; and Advancing a Business Case and pursuing funding opportunities.

12 Today s Agenda 1. Overview of our coordinated approach 2. Overview: Update of Transit initiatives underway 3. Update: Scarborough Subway Extension 4. Update: Eglinton East LRT 5. Next Steps 6. Questions 12

13 Scarborough Subway Extension Background Line 3 (SRT) opened in 1985 and is approaching the end of its normal lifespan. City Council confirmed support for the extension of the Bloor- Danforth Subway in October, 2013 Extension from Kennedy Station to Sheppard Avenue East The Scarborough Subway Project Assessment was launched in December 2014 To guide development of the project 10 public meetings were held Stakeholder Advisory Group was formed 13

14 Scarborough Subway Extension Background Nine potential corridors were identified and evaluated Comprehensive evaluation included: Key destinations served Transit network connections Development potential around stations Impacts to natural environment and sensitive areas Preliminary costs Projected travel time Property impacts Potential Corridors 14

15 Scarborough Subway Extension Background 3 Options were short-listed: Midland McCowan Bellamy In June 2015, McCowan corridor emerging as preferred based on Distance from SmartTrack Lawrence East Station location Cost Short List of Corridor Options 15

16 Scarborough Subway Extension Background Since 2013 there had been significant changes to related transit projects that impact the Scarborough Subway Extension: Introduction of SmartTrack Introduction of GO Regional Express Rail (RER) Sheppard East LRT pause These changes presented opportunities to better address the transit needs of Scarborough residents Changes to Scarborough Transit 16

17 Scarborough Subway Extension Background In January 2016, Toronto s Executive Committee endorsed refined priorities for transit in Scarborough: 1. Support the development of Scarborough Centre as a vibrant urban node 2. Support the development of complete communities along the Avenues and improve local accessibility To address these transit priorities, City Council provided direction on an optimized transit plan for Scarborough on March 31,

18 Scarborough Subway Extension Optimizing the Extension To support the transit priorities for Scarborough, optimizing the subway extension into an express subway includes: Removing Lawrence Station between Kennedy Station and Scarborough Centre; Ending at Scarborough Centre rather than Sheppard Avenue East; and Re-routing buses to the potential Lawrence East SmartTrack station and Kennedy Station These changes to the Scarborough Subway Extension would result in a significant reduction in construction and operating cost with only a small reduction in transit accessibility 18

19 Scarborough Subway Extension Work to date Alignment options for an express subway extension have been studied Station concepts for Scarborough Centre including bus terminals and other elements are being developed Cost estimates (ongoing) Modelling Accessibility Travel demand Optimized Concept 19

20 Scarborough Subway Extension Alignment Re-evaluation Express subway extension alignment has been re-evaluated due to shift in project parameters Corridor options for express subway: SRT corridor Midland Corridor Brimley Corridor McCowan Corridor Evaluation focusing on: Supporting growth of Scarborough Centre (including potential future extensions) The impact of SRT closure Property Impacts Costs Possible Express Subway Corridors 20

21 Scarborough Subway Extension SRT Closure If SRT was closed, service would be replaced by buses Replacement would be for duration of subway construction, estimated at 5-6 years 63 buses, temporary bus terminals and storage would be required Buses would stop at Lawrence Avenue Average delay for transit riders would be 6.4 minutes/trip Replacement Buses During SRT Closure 21

22 Scarborough Subway Extension Preferred Corridor - McCowan The feedback and technical analysis support McCowan as the preferred corridor: SRT remains operational during construction Received strong public support Least constructability/ infrastructure impacts = reduces risks to costs Connection across both sides of Scarborough Centre with one station Preferred Express Subway Corridor 22

23 Scarborough Subway Extension Emerging Results The subway extension will: Provide enhanced rapid transit service to support Scarborough Centre as a vibrant urban node Improve travel time to Kennedy Mobility Hub and eliminate transfer Increase transit system ridership by at least 4,500 new riders who don t ride transit today Preferred Express Subway Corridor 23

24 Scarborough Subway Extension Travel Demand in 2031 Express subway extension compared with other TTC subway terminus stations AM Peak Hour Boardings All day Boardings Finch Station 16,500 59,700 Scarborough Centre 7,200 31,000 Kipling 6,000 27,000 Scarborough Centre Station is expected to perform well and serve a comparable number of riders to other terminal stations Note: Finch Station serves too many riders resulting in overcrowding further down the line Travel demand modelling assumes SmartTrack Option C 24

25 Scarborough Subway Extension Travel Demand in 2031 Comparing ridership between 3-stop and Express: Express Subway Extension 3-stop Subway Extension Peak hour ridership (Westbound, East of Kennedy) Peak Hour Opposite Direction Ridership (Eastbound, east of Kennedy) New Transit Riders 7,300 2,900 4,500 11,100* 3,200 3,100 * Note: Peak hour ridership reported in March, 2016 (approximately 14,000) assumed no SmartTrack 25
