Over the summer, 18 new curb lane public spaces were implemented providing space for people to sit and socialize. 45 unique public amenities were introduced into these locations, including nine curb lane cafes, ten public seating areas, eight parklets, and eight public art installations. These spaces continued to be active during September and into October.

CAR TRAVEL TIMES & VOLUMES

Average car travel times on most streets in the downtown, vary (+/-) less than a minute compared to before the pilot.

Various construction projects continue to impact travel times on downtown streets. Watermain replacement work increased travel times on both Dundas Street and Jarvis Street, while the completion of some construction work on Adelaide St improved travel times there.

Drivers on King Street continue to access local businesses or residences, conduct loading and deliveries, and pick-up/drop-off passengers. Traffic previously using King Street has generally shifted to alternative east and west routes.

The downtown traffic network has been largely able to absorb and respond to the changes in routing that drivers have made.

SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER UPDATE King StreetTransit Pilot

PILOT BACKGROUNDThe King Street Transit Pilot is about moving people more efficiently on transit, improving public space, and supporting business and economic prosperity along King Street. The pilot aims to improve transit reliability, speed, and capacity on the busiest surface transit route in the city by giving transit priority on King Street from Bathurst Street to Jarvis Street.

The monitoring and evaluation plan involves the collection of data before and during the pilot in order to assess the impacts and benefits. Data is collected through methods such as the tracking of TTC streetcars using GPS, the monitoring of car travel times using Bluetooth sensors, and the collection of pedestrian, cycling and car volumes using video analytics. Monthly updates will be provided reflecting the latest data and information available to the City. This update provides an overview of the results of monitoring through the month of September and October.

COMING SOONThe City will also be measuring or reviewing data on parking utilization, compliance rates, and environmental metrics, which will be made public as part of the final report.

• All-day ridership on the 504/514 routes has increased from 80,000 in March to 84,000 in October, an increase of 12,000 daily riders from before the pilot.

• Morning peak hour demand, eastbound at Spadina Avenue was approximately 2,900 passengers per direction, 33% higher than before the pilot. Afternoon peak hour demand, westbound at Spadina Avenue was 2,400 passengers per direction, 45% higher than before the pilot. Additional capacity for passengers has been provided through the conversion to new streetcars.

• The additional capacity in the peak hours means that more customers are able to use the service when they need it, and less customers are being left behind at stops resulting in a delay to their trip.

• The number of pedestrians at stops remains greater compared to before the pilot. Most of the increase relative to June has occurred during the afternoon peak period which may be attributed to a return to more normal work and school commuter trip patterns in the Fall.

• Transit ridership is compiled by the TTC on an approximately quarterly basis. This update reflects counts conducted during the month of October only.

SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER SUMMARY• Dates corresponding to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) were excluded from the September reporting due to service disruptions

and route diversions.

• Improvements to the reliability of streetcar travel times observed in previous reporting periods have continued through September and October in both the morning peak (7-10 a.m.) and afternoon peak (4-7 p.m.).

o The greatest improvement continues to be during the afternoon peak, where the slowest streetcar travel times have improved by approximately 5-6 minutes in each direction. Eastbound travel times have improved from 25 minutes to 19 minutes and westbound travel times have improved from 24 to 19 minutes when comparing October to before the pilot.

o In the morning peak, travel times have shown some improvements even as ridership has dramatically increased (which requires increased time for passenger boarding).

• Average streetcar travel times mid-day (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) have improved by about 2.5 minutes eastbound and 2 minutes westbound in both September and October compared to before the pilot.

• Early evening (7–10 p.m.) trips have improved by about 1.5-3.0 minutes for both directions in both September and October compared to before the pilot.

• Staff will continue to monitor travel times and reliability for streetcars and identify opportunities for improvements.

SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER SUMMARY• In September and October, average car travel times on most streets in the downtown, vary (+/-) less than a minute compared to before the pilot.

• Travel times improved significantly on Adelaide Street eastbound in the afternoon because of the completion of some of construction activities.

• Dundas Street travel times increased significantly in October due to the watermain replacement taking place between Spadina Avenue and Bay Street.

• Jarvis Street in both directions continues to be slower than baseline in the afternoon peak due to the watermain replacement on Jarvis Street from Queen Street to Dundas Street.

• Staff will continue to monitor travel times for vehicles during the pilot, and will identify opportunities for improvements as required.

BASELINE SEPTEMBER Data Collection Dates: Pedestrian Volumes: September 19-21, 24-27, 2018

• Changes in the number of pedestrians from October 2017 to October 2018 show similar trends on both King Street and Queen Street.

• While the volume of pedestrians decreased from September to October at some locations along King Street (but not along Queen Street), this was generally the case where September volumes along King Street had already increased substantially from the October 2017 baseline before the pilot. Generally, pedestrian volumes on King Street continue to be higher than on the same sections of Queen Street.

TOTAL WEEKDAY P.M. PEAK PERIOD (4-7P.M.) CYCLING VOLUMES AT SPADINAMONTHLY TRENDS

SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER SUMMARY

• Cycling volumes in September and October dropped from the summer time due to expected seasonal changes.

• In October, cycling volumes at Spadina Avenue have increased by 380 riders in the afternoon peak compared to before the pilot in October 2017.

• Overall cycling volumes in October across all streets at Spadina Avenue have increased by 23% compared to the baseline counted in October 2017.

• Seasonal changes have most directly impacted Richmond Street and Adelaide Street, where dedicated cycle tracks are present. Other corridors without dedicated cycling facilities (e.g. Queen Street and Front Street) have generally seen more moderate change. This suggests that seasonal cyclists have generally been attracted to the dedicated facilities on Richmond Street and Adelaide Street, whereas all-weather cyclists maybe more comfortable on routes without dedicated facilities.

MAY & JUNE SUMMARY

• Cycling volumes in May and June showed a significant increase from those in April, which is consistent with expected seasonal changes.

• Cycling volumes on King Street (PM Peak at Spadina Avenue) increased by +550 in May and +520 in June compared to the baseline.

• Seasonal changes have most directly impacted Richmond Street and Adelaide Street, where dedicated cycle tracks are present. Other corridors without dedicated cycling facilities (e.g. Queen Street and Front Street) have generally seen more moderate change. This suggests that seasonal cyclists have generally been attracted to the dedicated facilities on Richmond Street and Adelaide Street, whereas all-weather cyclists maybe more comfortable on routes without dedicated facilities.
