Eglinton Crosstown LRT

Safety First Our #1 Priority

Always have a site specific safety plan and site specific emergency plan.Ensure pre-work hazard assessments are complete and understood.Ensure job hazards analyses are complete and understood. Do everything possible to protect themselves, co-workers, and members of the public.Stop work if the safety of themselves, co-workers and members of the public cannot be assured.Identify and report unsafe behaviour and coach each other to make improvements.Be prepared and equipped to work safely.We train and direct staff to:

Construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT LineBackground

In September 2008, Metrolinx launched a regional transportation plan a 25-year, $50 billion plan -- to coordinate and integrate transportation and transit in the Greater Toronto AreaIn 2010, City of Toronto approved the project to build the Eglinton Crosstown from Weston Road in the west to Kennedy Station in the east. Following a competitive process, Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS) was awarded a contract in July 2015 to design, build, finance, and maintain the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT).

Benefits of P3s:

The Crosstown is being delivered using a public private partnership model called Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP).It was procured as one design-build-finance-maintain project to minimize integration risk historically, a factor for project cost overruns under traditional models. Under the AFP model, CTS assumes most project risks, including: design, project management and sub-contractor coordination increases in construction material prices and labour costs schedule and project completion delays maintenance and lifecycle replacement of materials within the stations and stops, rails, control systems, and vehicles

Design Excellence Principles & Objectives

Design Approach: Design from City to ObjectSi m p l i c i t y I conography Transparency Ur b a n i t ySimplicity and elegance of the design solution at all scales, from the city to the object;Iconography of the architectural elements to create a unique and highly recognizable signature on Eglinton Avenue, from the slanted portal celebrating kinetic movement, to the profiled wing delineating shelters and waiting areas;Transparency of the entrances and through the station to magnify the presence of natural light, to enact as a way-finding strategy and to uplift the passengers experience;Urbanity of the signature layers from landscape to architecture, to underline the genius loci and contextualize the stations and stops within the civic scale of the avenue.

Crosstown Design ApproachFeatures

About half of the 19 km line is tunneledStations and stops are about 0.6 km apartFeatures will include: time arrival informationsafe access for people walking and biking to the station clear route maps, seating, bike parkingAvailable parking at the start and end of the LRT line.

Design Approach

Comply with nine design principles developed by City of Toronto and Metrolinx.Provide a legacy for generations to come. Have natural lighting during the day and well-lit entrances at night.Have safe, clean, intuitive wayfinding at all the stations and stops.Put passengers first.Provide visible entrances, bicycle facilities and sustainable practices to ensure all stations comply with Toronto Green Standard Tier.Landscaped entrances, including planters with trees and ornamental grasses.Public plazas and retail components at some stations.Clean and minimalist space at platform level.Accessible to passengers with disabilities, strollers, and bicycles.

Eglinton, Cedarvale and Kennedy are interchange stations.

Interchange stations will allow transit riders to connect to other transit modes, such as TTC, GO and the UP Express.

How were building Cedarvale StationThe Cut and Cover Method

Cedarvale

Twelve underground stations, including interchange stations will use a cut and cover method to support excavation.To install support of excavation, a crew will:remove the street pavement on one side of Eglinton Avenue (about 130m x 10m roughly the size of two hockey rinks)dig a shallow pitinstall steel piles, braces and tie-backs around the sides of the pit backfill and cover the pit with a wooden deck on the roadway to allow traffic to travel across itAfter that, the crew moves to the other half of the street to do the same. Once the shoring is installed, the crew may work under the roadway safely, excavating to a depth of at least 20m for the site of the station box.

22

Preparing for Stations Construction Since fall 2015, CTS has been preparing the line for underground stations and stops construction.

Preparatory activities:Survey and monitor properties for noise and vibrations Assess soil condition and measure water levels along the corridorLocate and mark underground utilitiesClearing/grubbing and removing shrubs/trees in the path of the CrosstownDemolish buildings and other infrastructure (i.e. bridge)Remove and store street furniture (i.e. benches, bus shelters, planters, garbage bins)

23

The underground stations run between Weston Road in the west to Laird Street in the east.Construction began at Keelesdale station, located at Keele Street /Trethewey Drive and Eglinton Avenue in March 2016.Installing support of excavation is the first step in constructing an underground station.All underground stations will be brand new, including the three LRT interchange stations connecting to other transit modes.Most of the underground stations will be in construction by the end of 2016.What to Expect in 2016 Start of Stations Construction

Cedarvale Station Construction Staging Long-Term Shoring Staging As early as June 2016, a number of road closures and a pedestrian walkway closure will be required to accommodate the laydown areas laydown areas, and support of excavation (shoring).During all shoring stages, the existing number of lanes and turn restrictions will be maintained on Eglinton Ave. There will be no TTC stop relocations.

These relocations will take place in order to allow for construction and excavation of the future station.

33

Long-Term Shoring Staging Park Hill Road Closure

Closure is required to accommodate CTS laydown area at the south section of the road as well as excavation and traffic deck installation for support of excavation (SOE) .The road closure will be required for an approximate duration of 4.2 years (56 months).A sidewalk is proposed to be maintained on the west side of the road to provide pedestrians direct access to Eglinton Ave. West.
