Crosstown Station Preliminary Design

The Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown Plan

  • $8.4 billion for all Toronto Transit Expansion from the Province of Ontario through

Metrolinx

  • 19-kilometre rapid transit line running along Eglinton Avenue, connecting west to

east from Jane Street/Black Creek Drive to Kennedy Station.

  • 60% faster than bus service today (e.g. only 15 minutes from Caledonia to Yonge)
  • Underground tunnel (Keele Street to Laird Drive)*
  • SRT upgrade and replacement from Kennedy Station to Scarborough Centre
  • Potential of up to 26 stations
  • *Exact alignment west of Keele Street and east of Laird Drive TBD

The Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown Plan 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 Caledonia Rd to Kennedy Station in Scarborough

Conceptual Design Typical Crosstown Station

  • Ensure positive change along

the corridor

  • Guide individual station designs

and achieve consistency

  • Guide confjguration of surface

elements

  • Integrate surface elements

with existing and future development

Urban Design and Architectural Guidelines have been developed:

Stations 101

What’s needed to make a Station Work?

  • Main Entrance
  • Secondary Entrance
  • Passenger Transportation

(elevators, escalators)

  • Mechanical and Electrical Systems
  • Ventilation Shafts and Ventilation

Fan Rooms

  • Traction Power Substations
  • Reduce construction impacts

(traffjc, staging area, noise, dust)

  • Preserve public space and

development potential

  • Fiscally responsible

Overall Design Principle:

Consolidate Surface Elements to enhance design & minimize impacts

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Crosstown Station Preliminary Design

Consolidated Design Approach

  • Integrate with surrounding neighbourhood
  • Safe and enjoyable user experience
  • Full accessibility with all levels of mobility,

elevators, escalators, low-fmoor access

  • Preserve space for future re-development
  • Enhance the local “sense of place”
  • Long-term sustainability
  • Reduce Construction Footprint & Impacts
  • Reduce Costs

Accessibility for all users Compatible scale

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Crosstown Station Preliminary Design

Architecture

  • Excellence in architectural/urban design

treatments

  • Responding to local conditions balancing

quality and budget

  • Standard station box confjgurations
  • Creative use of materials, color, textures,

artwork, light

  • Brand identifjcation with graphics
  • Use standard elements whenever possible

Public Realm Elements

  • Streetscape & integration
  • f Public Realm Elements
  • Innovative wayfjnding

and effective signage

  • Bicycle Facilities
  • Integrated artwork

including walls, fmoors, ceilings and glazing

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Accessibility, Safety and Security

  • Access for persons with

all levels of mobility

  • Elevators
  • Escalators
  • Low-Floor Access
  • Monitored CCTV

Cameras

  • Urban Braille
  • High Quality Lighting
slide-17
SLIDE 17

Crosstown Station Preliminary Design

Surface Element

  • Surface elements are most

visible to public

  • Integrate into local community
  • Minimize property implications
  • High quality design
  • Major focus on consolidating:
  • Entrances
  • Vent Shafts
  • Substations

21 m box (construction zone) 23-26m ROW HVAC intake (1) HVAC exhaust (1) Traction Power Substation (every other station) Secondary Entrance (2) Firefighter Access Shafts (2) Main Entrance (1) Emergency Access Pad (1) Emergency Vent Shafts (4) Refuse Room (1) Bike Storage (1)

Station Entrance

  • Public spaces which fjt into the community
  • Main and secondary entrance
  • Main entrance is fully accessible
  • Use of height/massing to create unique

structure

  • Highly visible, transparent, sophisticated
  • Promote transit-oriented development
  • Maximize daylighting opportunities
  • Well lit at night
  • Connect with buses on the street

Integrated Artwork

Any architectural fjnish can contain integrated artwork, including:

  • walls
  • fmoors
  • ceilings
  • glazing

Traction Power Substations What and Why?

  • Required to provide power to the station system
  • Every two kilometres, at stations
  • Many different confjgurations
  • Above ground, surface, below-ground
  • Guidelines to integrate substations

Consolidated Layout (2012)

Key advantages:

A consolidated layout provides passengers with a clear point of entry into the station

  • Entrance locations coincide with bus routes/stops
  • Passenger travel from street level to concourse

minimized

  • Primary Entrance accessible to passengers from

Eglinton Avenue and bus loop drop off area

  • Station street level buildings respectful of

surrounding context, while preserving for future development as envisioned by Avenues Study

  • Reduced construction footprint, impacts, costs -

avoiding major utility relocation

Toronto Green Standards

Key site-related components that will be analyzed and designed to meeting Toronto Green Standards through the design process

  • Cycling infrastructure
  • Pedestrian infrastructure
  • Urban heat island reduction:

at-grade

  • Urban heat island reduction:

roof

  • Water efficiency
  • Urban forest: tree protection
  • Urban forest: encourage tree

growth

  • Natural heritage: site

Community Outreach for Construction

  • At this early design stage, construction staging is not

yet developed

  • Comprehensive Construction Management Plan & individual

construction plans for each station will be developed with local consultation well before construction

  • Please contact us any time with questions you may have

about construction
