Presentation Part 1: Crosstown Overview & Construction Update Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
Problem Today: Congestion Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
Solution Tommorrow: The Crosstown * Final number and location of stations subject to review 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 Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
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 Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
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 confjguration of surface elements • Integrate surface elements with existing and future development Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
Stations 101 What’s needed to make a Station Work? • Main Entrance Overall Design Principle: • Secondary Entrance Consolidate Surface Elements to enhance design & minimize impacts • Passenger Transportation (elevators, escalators) • Reduce construction impacts (traffjc, staging area, noise, dust) • Mechanical and Electrical Systems • Preserve public space and • Ventilation Shafts and Ventilation development potential Fan Rooms • Fiscally responsible • Traction Power Substations 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 Accessibility for all users • Enhance the local “sense of place” • Long-term sustainability • Reduce Construction Footprint & Impacts • Reduce Costs Compatible scale 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 Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
Public Realm Elements • Streetscape & integration of Public Realm Elements • Innovative wayfjnding and effective signage • Bicycle Facilities • Integrated artwork including walls, fmoors, ceilings and glazing Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
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 Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
Surface Element • Surface elements are most Main Entrance (1) Emergency Access Pad (1) Emergency Vent Shafts (4) visible to public Refuse Room (1) • Integrate into local community Bike Storage (1) Firefighter Access Shafts (2) • Minimize property implications E M S R B • High quality design 23-26m ROW • Major focus on consolidating: 21 m box (construction zone) - Entrances HVAC intake (1) S TPS - Vent Shafts HVAC exhaust (1) Secondary Entrance (2) - Substations Traction Power Substation (every other station) Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
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 Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
Integrated Artwork Any architectural fjnish can contain integrated artwork, including: • walls • fmoors • ceilings • glazing Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
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 Toronto Hydro Substation in Scarborough • Guidelines to integrate substations Leslie Station Substation Crosstown Station Preliminary Design
