The Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown Plan

  • $8.4 billion transit investment from the Province of Ontario through

Metrolinx

  • 25 km east-west transit corridor between Black Creek Drive and

Scarborough Centre

  • 60% faster than bus service today (e.g. only 15 minutes from Keele to

Yonge)

  • 19 km underground tunnel (Black Creek Drive to Kennedy Station)*
  • 6km seamless service will replace the SRT from Kennedy Station to

Scarborough Centre

  • Up to 26 stations
  • *Exact alignment west of Keele Street and east of Laird Drive TBD

Crosstown Construction Update

  • Crosstown tunnel preparation

work at Black Creek and Eglinton in Keelesdale Park

  • Piling rigs are building concrete

support walls for the future tunnel launch shaft

  • The shaft will enable tunnelling

eastward in summer 2012

  • Soil testing for the tunnel and

stations continues from Keele Street to Kennedy Station in Scarborough

Conceptual Design Typical Crosstown Station

Urban Design and Architectural Guidelines have been developed:

  • ensure positive change along the

corridor

  • guide individual station designs

and achieve consistency

  • guide configuration of surface

elements

  • integrate surface elements with

existing and future development

Eglinton 32 and 34 Bus Service After The Crosstown Opens

2/3/2012 30

Eglinton West / Allen Rd Station Preliminary Design

  • A decision on the future of the Eglinton 32 and

34 bus service will be made closer to the

  • pening of the Crosstown, based on forecast

ridership and budget availability compared to passenger needs across the system.

  • The TTC recognizes the importance of providing

local accessibility. Today, some sections of the subway do have parallel bus service and some do not.
