• 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

Feb
2016
• City, in partnership with TTC, worked with Metrolinx on
the integration of SmartTrack and GO/RER
• Four optionsfor SmartTrack/GO RER were assessed.
• Options A and B were ruled out due to increased costs
and significant community impacts
Mar
2016
• Council directed staff to focus work on optionsC and D
May/
June
2016
• Public consultation on SmartTrack and RER Integration
• Report to Executive Committee and Council on
evaluation progress
Next
Steps
• Continue collaboration with Metrolinx on development
of preferred alignment and station locations for
SmartTrack Options C and D
SmartTrack /GO RER
8
SmartTrack Option C
• 7 to 8 new stations
• Kitchener and Stouffville
through service
SmartTrack Option D
• 4 to 5 new stations
• Kitchener and Stouffville
through service
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.
Jan
2016
• Feasibility study of SmartTrack Western Corridor
options recommended optimizing Phase 2 of the
Crosstown LRT, approved in 2009
Mar
2016
• City Council directed staff to remove the heavy rail
option and work with Metrolinx to optimize the
approved Environmental Assessment for Eglinton
West LRT
• Six options assessed for further consideration
May/
June
2016
• Public consultation on emerging preferred LRT
alignment and station locations
SmartTrack – Eglinton West Corridor
9
Next Steps
• Continue to work with
Metrolinx to optimize the
approved Environmental
Assessment for Eglinton
West LRT
• Develop Business Case
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.
Eglinton East LRT
Sept
2009
City Council approved the
recommendations of the
Scarborough-Malvern LRT Transit
Project Assessment
Jan
2016
Executive Committee endorsed
refined transit priorities reintroducing
the Eglinton East LRT, a modification
of the Scarborough-Malvern LRT.
March
2016
City Council endorsed further study of
the Eglinton East LRT
• Up to 18 stops over 11km line
• Improved reliability
• 2 connections to GO RER
(Eglinton & Guildwood)
Next Steps
July 2016: Report to Council, Seek
authority to proceed with amendment
to Environmental Assessment
Summer 2016: Technical analysis to
amend Environmental Assessment
The Eglinton East LRT would extend the
Crosstown east along Eglinton Avenue
East, Kingston Road and Morningside
Avenue to the University of Toronto,
Scarborough Campus, to improve
transportation access along the Avenues
and in Neighbourhood Improvement
Areas.
Scarborough Subway Extension
Jan. 2016 ExecutiveCommittee directed staff to continue
technical work on refined Scarborough transit priorities,
focusing the subway extension on serving Scarborough
Centre
March 2016 City Council endorsed the narrowing of alignment
options for the subway extension, and report back to
ExecutiveCommittee and Council in June/July 2016 with
the recommended corridor and alignment
Recommended Express Subway Corridor
McCowan alignment has emerged due to:
• Ability to maintain SRT service throughout
construction
• Connection across both sides of Scarborough
Centre with one station
Next Steps
July 2016: Report to Council, Seek authority to launch TPAP (EA)
Summer 2016: Initiate TPAP
The Scarborough Subway Extension would extend Line 2 from Kennedy Station to Scarborough
Centre, replacing the SRT. The subway extension would encourage the growth and
development of Scarborough Centre as a vibrant urban node.
Waterfront Transit “Reset”
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:
 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.
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

Background
15
2009 City Council approves Yonge North Extension EA, contingent on Relief Line and
City/TTC commence study to determine need for the Relief Line
2012 Downtown Rapid Transit Expansion Study concludes that initial phase of Relief Line
and GO Transit improvements would help ease crowding on the transit network
2012 Relief Line identified as part of the “Next Wave” of transit projects in the Metrolinx
Big Move plan and is identified by Metrolinx as a priority for future transit investment
2014 Relief Line Project Assessment launched. City/TTC commence planning for the
preferred route alignment and station locations for the Relief Line, to deliver planning
approvals in mid-2016. The relationship between SmartTrack and the Relief Line is being
reviewed as part of this work.
2015 Yonge Relief Network Study recommendations approved by Metrolinx Board.
Allows project development for the Yonge North Subway Extension. Affirms that the Relief
Line Project Assessment should continue, to ensure that a project is ready for when needed
in 2031.
March
2016
City Council approved preferred corridor for Relief Line: Pape to Downtown via
Queen/Richmond.
Study Status
16
• The Preferred Corridor was approved by City Council on
March 31, 2016.
• We are now seeking your feedback on the evaluation of
alignment options within the Preferred Corridor, the
emerging Preferred Alignment and Station Locations.
February/March 2016 Consultations
17
During the last round of consultation, we presented the results from the
evaluation of Potential Corridors and identified the recommended Preferred
Corridor (Corridor B1: Pape Station to Downtown via Queen/ Richmond).
February/March 2016 Consultations
18
KEY MESSAGES FROM PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDERS
• Overall support for the results of the evaluation and for advancing
Corridor B1 (Pape to Downtown via Queen/Richmond)as the preferred
corridor
• Preference for downtown stations that provide direct interchange at the
Yonge and University subway lines (i.e. two stations rather than one)
• Support major redevelopment opportunities, such as the Unilever site.
• Address potential impacts during construction, such as disruptions to the
existing 501 Queen Street and 504 King Street streetcar routes , noise and
vibration, and traffic.
19
AlignmentOptions
• Six potential
alignments within the
preferred corridor
were identified for
further evaluation.
• Alignment options
east of the Don Valley
connect from Pape
via:
– GO corridor (‘G’) or
– Queen (‘A’) or
– Eastern (‘E’)
• West of the Don
Valley, into
downtown, they
follow:
– Queen (‘Q’) or
– Richmond (‘R’)
Alignments were evaluated using nearly 80 criteria to identify which
would best address project and city-building objectives. Further
analysis is underway on costing and deliverability.
Richmondor Queen?
20
Richmond:
• Less ideal transfer configuration
downtown (longer transfer distances
between Line 1 stations)
• Slower train speed between stations
due to twists and turns in the right-of-
way
• During construction, there would be
less impact to streetcars, but greater
impact to vehicles and cyclists
• Greater challenges associated with
western extension (right-of-way not
continuous, ends at Niagara Street)
AR GR ER
Queen:
• Better transfer configuration possible
downtown (shorter distances
between Line 1 stations)
• Faster train speed possible between
stations possible
• Fewer construction constraints
downtown
• During construction, there would be
less impact to vehicles and cyclists,
but greater impact to streetcars
AQ GQ EQ
GO Corridor, Queen or Eastern?
21
GO Corridor:
• Shortest option but not the
fastest
• Twistsand turns required
would result in slower service
• Could generally reduce
property impacts
• Station at Gerrard-Carlaw
could have property impacts
at Riverdale Shopping centre
and reduce development
potential of site
• Greater transit impacts during
construction, specifically to the
506 streetcar
Queen:
• Fastest option
• Greater relief to
congested at Bloor-
Yonge station
• Greater impact on transit
during construction
• No direct connection to
Unilever site
• Fewer development
opportunities around
stations
Eastern:
• Longest option with the most
stations
• Lower relief to Bloor-Yonge
station, but high overall ridership
and greatest ability to attract
new riders to the transit network
• Serves highest overall future
population and employment
around stations
• Less of an impact on transit
during construction
• Connects to population and
employment areas (Unilever,
West Don Lands)
• Best serves social equity

MainAdvantages of Alignment EQ
Best achieves city-building
objectives
 Serves the greatest number of projected future residents and jobs.
 Stations complement plans for growth and redevelopment
Best addresses social
equity needs
 Station at King-Sumach offers key opportunity for additional social infrastructure and community space while
bridgingthe West Don Lands and Regent Park in Corktown.
 Station at Eastern-Broadview improves city-wide transit accessibility to the significant new employment area
being planned for the Unilever site.
Most compatible with
preserving integrity of
existing neighbourhoods
and heritage resources
 Station at Pape and Gerrard will reconnect neighbourhoods to the north and south by helping to overcome the
existing barrier presented by the GO Rail corridor
 Station at King-Sumach supports integration of Corktown communities by reducing the existing north-south
barrier effect of Richmond/Adelaide overpass and serves the northern areas within the West Don Lands
 Stations offer excellent redevelopment opportunities for some older commercialareas well suited to
redevelopment for transit oriented uses
 Best ability to avoid potential negative impacts on heritage buildings, Heritage Conservation Districts and
established main streets
 A well designed station at Queen and Pape will integrate entrances within the surrounding residential area in
order to improve transit service to the Leslieville neighbourhood.
Best transit network
connectivity opportunities
 Offers the greatest relief to overcrowding on the existing streetcar network with interconnections with the
King, Queen, Cherry, and Broadview streetcars
 Provides most interchanges with SmartTrack/GORER at Pape and Gerrard and Eastern and Broadview Stations
 Good potential to optimize the passenger transfer configuration Queen and Osgoodestations to minimize
transfer times and end loading at stations
Strongest long-term
ridership results
 Forecastto attract the highest number of new riders to the transit system based on 2031 modelling results.
 By 2041, the alignmentpulls further ahead in attracting the most riders. The additional benefit is maintained
when the northern extension is assumed.
 Does not provide as much relief to the Yonge line as the other alignments,it still provides significant relief when
the long term extension of the Relief Line to the north is factored in.
Strongest opportunity for
public-private partnership
for capital cost sharing
 Best opportunity for sharing capital costs through redevelopment at Unilever.
Fewer construction impacts  Fewest impacts anticipated to private property especially related to stations at Broadview and Eastern and King
and Sumach
 Lowest potential for transit and traffic related impacts during construction by avoiding high traffic/transit areas,
especially Queen-Broadview

  • 4. Our Coordinated Approach The City, TTC and Metrolinx, are working together on integrated transit planning within Toronto 4 • 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
  • 6. Whatguides the analysisof transit projects? The evaluationcriteria being used for each transit project are based on principles and criteria developed during the Official Plan Review process “Feeling Congested?” 6 SERVING PEOPLE STRENGTHENING PLACES SUPPORTING PROSPERITY
  • 7. Today’s Agenda 1.Overviewofourcoordinatedapproach 2. Overview: Update of transitinitiativesunderway 3.Update: ReliefLine 4.NextSteps 5.Questions 7
  • 8. Feb 2016 • City, in partnership with TTC, worked with Metrolinx on the integration of SmartTrack and GO/RER • Four optionsfor SmartTrack/GO RER were assessed. • Options A and B were ruled out due to increased costs and significant community impacts Mar 2016 • Council directed staff to focus work on optionsC and D May/ June 2016 • Public consultation on SmartTrack and RER Integration • Report to Executive Committee and Council on evaluation progress Next Steps • Continue collaboration with Metrolinx on development of preferred alignment and station locations for SmartTrack Options C and D SmartTrack /GO RER 8 SmartTrack Option C • 7 to 8 new stations • Kitchener and Stouffville through service SmartTrack Option D • 4 to 5 new stations • Kitchener and Stouffville through service 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.
  • 9. Jan 2016 • Feasibility study of SmartTrack Western Corridor options recommended optimizing Phase 2 of the Crosstown LRT, approved in 2009 Mar 2016 • City Council directed staff to remove the heavy rail option and work with Metrolinx to optimize the approved Environmental Assessment for Eglinton West LRT • Six options assessed for further consideration May/ June 2016 • Public consultation on emerging preferred LRT alignment and station locations SmartTrack – Eglinton West Corridor 9 Next Steps • Continue to work with Metrolinx to optimize the approved Environmental Assessment for Eglinton West LRT • Develop Business Case 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.
  • 10. Eglinton East LRT Sept 2009 City Council approved the recommendations of the Scarborough-Malvern LRT Transit Project Assessment Jan 2016 Executive Committee endorsed refined transit priorities reintroducing the Eglinton East LRT, a modification of the Scarborough-Malvern LRT. March 2016 City Council endorsed further study of the Eglinton East LRT • Up to 18 stops over 11km line • Improved reliability • 2 connections to GO RER (Eglinton & Guildwood) Next Steps July 2016: Report to Council, Seek authority to proceed with amendment to Environmental Assessment Summer 2016: Technical analysis to amend Environmental Assessment The Eglinton East LRT would extend the Crosstown east along Eglinton Avenue East, Kingston Road and Morningside Avenue to the University of Toronto, Scarborough Campus, to improve transportation access along the Avenues and in Neighbourhood Improvement Areas.
  • 11. Scarborough Subway Extension Jan. 2016 ExecutiveCommittee directed staff to continue technical work on refined Scarborough transit priorities, focusing the subway extension on serving Scarborough Centre March 2016 City Council endorsed the narrowing of alignment options for the subway extension, and report back to ExecutiveCommittee and Council in June/July 2016 with the recommended corridor and alignment Recommended Express Subway Corridor McCowan alignment has emerged due to: • Ability to maintain SRT service throughout construction • Connection across both sides of Scarborough Centre with one station Next Steps July 2016: Report to Council, Seek authority to launch TPAP (EA) Summer 2016: Initiate TPAP The Scarborough Subway Extension would extend Line 2 from Kennedy Station to Scarborough Centre, replacing the SRT. The subway extension would encourage the growth and development of Scarborough Centre as a vibrant urban node.
  • 12. Waterfront Transit “Reset” 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:  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. 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
  • 15. Background 15 2009 City Council approves Yonge North Extension EA, contingent on Relief Line and City/TTC commence study to determine need for the Relief Line 2012 Downtown Rapid Transit Expansion Study concludes that initial phase of Relief Line and GO Transit improvements would help ease crowding on the transit network 2012 Relief Line identified as part of the “Next Wave” of transit projects in the Metrolinx Big Move plan and is identified by Metrolinx as a priority for future transit investment 2014 Relief Line Project Assessment launched. City/TTC commence planning for the preferred route alignment and station locations for the Relief Line, to deliver planning approvals in mid-2016. The relationship between SmartTrack and the Relief Line is being reviewed as part of this work. 2015 Yonge Relief Network Study recommendations approved by Metrolinx Board. Allows project development for the Yonge North Subway Extension. Affirms that the Relief Line Project Assessment should continue, to ensure that a project is ready for when needed in 2031. March 2016 City Council approved preferred corridor for Relief Line: Pape to Downtown via Queen/Richmond.
  • 16. Study Status 16 • The Preferred Corridor was approved by City Council on March 31, 2016. • We are now seeking your feedback on the evaluation of alignment options within the Preferred Corridor, the emerging Preferred Alignment and Station Locations.
  • 17. February/March 2016 Consultations 17 During the last round of consultation, we presented the results from the evaluation of Potential Corridors and identified the recommended Preferred Corridor (Corridor B1: Pape Station to Downtown via Queen/ Richmond).
  • 18. February/March 2016 Consultations 18 KEY MESSAGES FROM PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDERS • Overall support for the results of the evaluation and for advancing Corridor B1 (Pape to Downtown via Queen/Richmond)as the preferred corridor • Preference for downtown stations that provide direct interchange at the Yonge and University subway lines (i.e. two stations rather than one) • Support major redevelopment opportunities, such as the Unilever site. • Address potential impacts during construction, such as disruptions to the existing 501 Queen Street and 504 King Street streetcar routes , noise and vibration, and traffic.
  • 19. 19 AlignmentOptions • Six potential alignments within the preferred corridor were identified for further evaluation. • Alignment options east of the Don Valley connect from Pape via: – GO corridor (‘G’) or – Queen (‘A’) or – Eastern (‘E’) • West of the Don Valley, into downtown, they follow: – Queen (‘Q’) or – Richmond (‘R’) Alignments were evaluated using nearly 80 criteria to identify which would best address project and city-building objectives. Further analysis is underway on costing and deliverability.
  • 20. Richmondor Queen? 20 Richmond: • Less ideal transfer configuration downtown (longer transfer distances between Line 1 stations) • Slower train speed between stations due to twists and turns in the right-of- way • During construction, there would be less impact to streetcars, but greater impact to vehicles and cyclists • Greater challenges associated with western extension (right-of-way not continuous, ends at Niagara Street) AR GR ER Queen: • Better transfer configuration possible downtown (shorter distances between Line 1 stations) • Faster train speed possible between stations possible • Fewer construction constraints downtown • During construction, there would be less impact to vehicles and cyclists, but greater impact to streetcars AQ GQ EQ
  • 21. GO Corridor, Queen or Eastern? 21 GO Corridor: • Shortest option but not the fastest • Twistsand turns required would result in slower service • Could generally reduce property impacts • Station at Gerrard-Carlaw could have property impacts at Riverdale Shopping centre and reduce development potential of site • Greater transit impacts during construction, specifically to the 506 streetcar Queen: • Fastest option • Greater relief to congested at Bloor- Yonge station • Greater impact on transit during construction • No direct connection to Unilever site • Fewer development opportunities around stations Eastern: • Longest option with the most stations • Lower relief to Bloor-Yonge station, but high overall ridership and greatest ability to attract new riders to the transit network • Serves highest overall future population and employment around stations • Less of an impact on transit during construction • Connects to population and employment areas (Unilever, West Don Lands) • Best serves social equity AR GR ERAQ GQ EQ

  • 32. MainAdvantages of Alignment EQ Best achieves city-building objectives  Serves the greatest number of projected future residents and jobs.  Stations complement plans for growth and redevelopment Best addresses social equity needs  Station at King-Sumach offers key opportunity for additional social infrastructure and community space while bridgingthe West Don Lands and Regent Park in Corktown.  Station at Eastern-Broadview improves city-wide transit accessibility to the significant new employment area being planned for the Unilever site. Most compatible with preserving integrity of existing neighbourhoods and heritage resources  Station at Pape and Gerrard will reconnect neighbourhoods to the north and south by helping to overcome the existing barrier presented by the GO Rail corridor  Station at King-Sumach supports integration of Corktown communities by reducing the existing north-south barrier effect of Richmond/Adelaide overpass and serves the northern areas within the West Don Lands  Stations offer excellent redevelopment opportunities for some older commercialareas well suited to redevelopment for transit oriented uses  Best ability to avoid potential negative impacts on heritage buildings, Heritage Conservation Districts and established main streets  A well designed station at Queen and Pape will integrate entrances within the surrounding residential area in order to improve transit service to the Leslieville neighbourhood. Best transit network connectivity opportunities  Offers the greatest relief to overcrowding on the existing streetcar network with interconnections with the King, Queen, Cherry, and Broadview streetcars  Provides most interchanges with SmartTrack/GORER at Pape and Gerrard and Eastern and Broadview Stations  Good potential to optimize the passenger transfer configuration Queen and Osgoodestations to minimize transfer times and end loading at stations Strongest long-term ridership results  Forecastto attract the highest number of new riders to the transit system based on 2031 modelling results.  By 2041, the alignmentpulls further ahead in attracting the most riders. The additional benefit is maintained when the northern extension is assumed.  Does not provide as much relief to the Yonge line as the other alignments,it still provides significant relief when the long term extension of the Relief Line to the north is factored in. Strongest opportunity for public-private partnership for capital cost sharing  Best opportunity for sharing capital costs through redevelopment at Unilever. Fewer construction impacts  Fewest impacts anticipated to private property especially related to stations at Broadview and Eastern and King and Sumach  Lowest potential for transit and traffic related impacts during construction by avoiding high traffic/transit areas, especially Queen-Broadview
  • 34. Next Steps 34 May/June 2016 • Public and stakeholder consultations • Continue to refine technical work and business cases on current transit initiatives June/July 2016 • Report to Executive Committee and Council ‒ Report on full range of transit projects, seeking authority for next steps (including authority to commence TPAPs for Relief Line and SSE) Summer/Fall 2016 • Further technical work Winter 2017 • Undertake Feeling Congested? review for priority projects • Report to Executive Committee and Council on transit project prioritization
