Open House Overview


Overview


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 Station Most importantly:

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

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

• Walls at the future station box are scheduled to begin at Bathurst in 2013 as part of the tunnelling process.

• Bathurst Station construction is scheduled to begin in 2014.

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 Scarborough Centre

• 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 Scarborough Centre

• 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 at Keelesdale 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 Guidelines have been developed:

•ensure positive change along the corridor •guide individual station designs and achieve consistency•guide configuration of surface elements•integrate surface elements with existing and future development


Overview


• 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 $

Stations 101 What’s needed to make a Station Work?


Overview

• Integrate with surrounding neighbourhood

• Safe and enjoyable user experience

• Full accessibility

• Preserve space for future re-development

• Enhance the local “sense of place”

• Long-term sustainability

• Reduce Construction Footprint & Impacts

• Reduce Costs

Design Philosophy

Accessibility Principles & Features • Access for persons with all levels of mobility • Elevators

• Escalators

• Low-Floor Access

Safety and Security Features • Monitored CCTV Security Cameras

• Urban Braille

• High Quality Lighting

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


Overview


Surface Elements – Guiding Principles

• 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


Overview


The Approach to Guide Detailed Design


Overview


• Any architectural finish can contain integrated artwork, including:

• walls• floors• ceilings• glazing

Integrated Artwork


Overview



Overview

Cross-Section


Station Entrances

• Public spaces which fit into the community

• Main & Secondary Entrance • Main Entrance is fully accessible

• Use of height/massing to create unique structure

• Highly visible, transparent, sophisticated

• Promote Transit-Oriented Development

• Maximize daylight opportunities

• Well lit at night

• Connect with Buses on street


Overview


Traction Power Substations What 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 with more public space
