*Our partners in City Planning are here if you have questionsabout existing development requirements in the Bathurst areaor the future Land Use Study around Crosstown Stations



The Purpose of Tonight’s Open House• Provide a brief Crosstown project update• Present the Crosstown station design philosophy• Explain the anatomy of the station components and challenges• Display the preliminary design of Bathurst StationMost importantly:

*Get your input on the Preliminary Design early in this process.

• The architectural design will be prepared for Open House #2 inSpring 2012. Significant outreach will follow on construction.

• Walls at the future station box are scheduled to begin at Bathurst in2013 as part of the tunnelling process.

• Bathurst Station construction is scheduled to begin in 2014.

* Final number and location of stations subject to review



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 ScarboroughCentre

• 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 ScarboroughCentre

• Up to 26 stations

*Exact alignment west of Keele Street and east of Laird Drive TBD

First Construction Contract• Tunnel launch site preparation is underway atKeelesdale Park (between Black Creek Drive and Keele Street)

• Tunnelling will start in summer 2012 and head east



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 of a Crosstown Station

Urban Design and Architectural Guidelineshave been developed:

• ensure positive change along thecorridor

• guide individual station designs andachieve consistency

• guide configuration of surfaceelements

• integrate surface elements withexisting and future development



• Main Entrance• Secondary Entrance• Passenger Transportation (elevators, escalators)• Mechanical and Electrical Systems• Ventilation Shafts and Ventilation Fan Rooms• Traction Power Substations

Guiding Principle:Consolidate Surface Elements to enhance design & minimize impacts

•Reduce construction impacts (traffic, staging area, noise, dust )•Preserve public space and development potential•Save $

Architectural Design Approach• Excellence in architectural/urban

design treatments• Cost effective and maintainable

structures• Standard station box configurations• Creative use of materials, color,

textures, artwork, light• Brand identification with graphics• Use standard elements whenever

possible

Surface Elements – Guiding Principles

• Surface elements aremost visible to public

• Integrate into localcommunity

• Minimize propertyimplications

• High quality design• Major focus on

consolidating:– Entrances– Vent Shafts– Substations

Cross-Section



Station Entrances• Public spaces which fit into the

community• Main & Secondary Entrance• Main Entrance is fully accessible

• Use of height/massing to createunique structure

• Highly visible, transparent,sophisticated

• Promote Transit-OrientedDevelopment

• Maximize daylight opportunities• Well lit at night• Connect with Buses on street

Traction Power SubstationsWhat and Why?

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

Key Advantages of New Consolidated Design

Reduces construction footprint, cost & impacts(roadway construction reduced by 21.5 metres)

Improves look and feel from street for community

Reduces number of properties affected

Preserves potential for investment and development withmore public space
