The
site
of
what
is
today
there
very
beautiful
and
moving
Vimy
memorial
by
April,
the
12th.
The
Canadians
had
taken
all
of
their
objectives,
as
well
as
4,000
prisoners
and
the
Canadians
held
Vimy
Ridge,
and
this
was
a
very
important
moment
not
only
in
the
war,
the
First
World
War,
but
also
very
important
moment
in
Canadian
history.
But
it
came
at
a
terrible
toll
when
it
came
to,
and
it's
almost
unbelievable
numbers
for
any
single
day,
because
today
April
the
9th
was
not
the
end
of
the
battle
that
happened
on
the
12th.
A
But
today
was
the
day
of
the
the
greatest
toll.
That's
ever
been
taken
in
Canadian
military
history,
3598
Canadians
lost
their
lives
and
7,000
were
wounded
during
the
four-day
battle,
and
this
was
the
worst
of
all
of
those
days
April
the
9th
102
years
ago,
and
so
in
recognition
of
that
sacrifice
and
of
the
incredible
importance
of
this
day
in
the
history
of
the
world,
let
alone
the
history
of
Canada.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
we
have,
ladies
and
gentlemen.
Quorum
and
I
will
call
the
fourth
meeting
of
the
executive
committee
to
order.
We
acknowledge
the
land
we
are
meeting
on
as
their
traditional
territories
of
many
nations,
including
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit,
the
honest
nabhi,
the
Chippewa,
the
Hutt
nashoni
and
the
when
dot
peoples
and
is
now
home
to
many
diverse,
diverse
First,
Nations,
Inuit
and
maytee
people,
and
we
also
acknowledge
that
Toronto
is
covered
by
treaty.
A
Thirteen
with
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit
I
would
remind
people
who
are
not
with
us
and
or
people
who
are
and
have
to
leave
that
they're
able
to
watch
us
on
YouTube
at
Toronto,
City,
Council,
live
or
follow
the
meeting
on
your
computer
tablet
or
smartphone
at
wwr
roc
a
back
slash
council.
I
will
now
call
for
any
declarations
of
interest
under
the
municipal
conflict
of
interest
act.
If
so,
please
indicate
the
item
number
and
the
nature
of
the
interest.
Are
there
any
interest
to
be
declared?
A
A
A
Yes,
4.2
the
future
king
street
results
of
the
transit
pilot
that
is
being
held
for
deputations
item
IX
4.3,
accelerating
the
city
city's
tenants
first
project.
This
is
being
held
as
well
for
deputations
item
IX
4.4
do
I,
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
recommendation
to
Reese,
which
is
to
receive
the
report
moved
by
councillor
Ainsley.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
item;
X
4.5,
a
remuneration
of
remuneration
and
expenses
of
members
of
council
and
of
council
appointees
to
agencies,
corporations
and
other
bodies
for
the
year
ended.
A
A
A
The
disposition
that
suggested
is
to
adopt
the
recommendations
in
the
report.
Do
I
have
a
motion
from
the
budget
chief
for
councillor
Crawford,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
and
so
I
think
that
brings
us
to
a
procedural
matter
that
I
would
like
to
deal
with.
With
the
concurrence
of
the
of
the
committee.
We
have
a
very
large
number
of
people
wishing
to
speak
with
us
today,
which
is
a
sign
of
a
good
health
of
our
democratic
process.
A
But
it's
such
that
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
move
a
motion
that
the
speakers
who
have
not
be
registered
be
allowed
to
register
to
speak
until
10:30
today,
after
which
there'd
be
no
for
the
registration
allowed.
The
list
will
be
closed,
that
the
length
of
public
presentations
be
limited
to
three
minutes.
A
Think
this
means
everybody's
being
treated
in
the
same
manner
of
those
who
are
members
of
council
and
those
who
are
not
and
I
think
it
just
allows
us
to
get
through
all
of
what
we
need
to
get
through
today
to
listen
to
everybody.
So
are
there
any
of
anybody
wishing
to
speak
to
this
motion?
All
right,
I'll
call
the
question,
then
all
those
in
favor
opposed
Carrie.
A
Okay,
so
if
you
haven't
registered
I,
would
urge
you
before
10:30,
obviously
to
register,
because
we
are
going
to
cut
the
list
off
at
that
time.
Just
so,
we
can
manage
getting
through
everything
that
we
need
to
get
through,
and
on
that
note
we
can
move
to
where's
the
green
sheet
there.
It
is
we
can
move
to
item
PX,
4.1,
toronto's,
transit
expansion,
program,
update
and
next
steps
and
go
to
the
deputations,
which
will
hear
first
followed
by
questions
to
staff
and
I
think
are
we
gonna
have
a
brief
presentation
on
that?
A
A
brief
presentation
by
the
staff
I,
just
wonder
whether
we
should
have
that
first
and
then
have
the
deputy
that
gets
normally
how
we
do
this.
So
why
don't
you,
mr.
city
manager
and
your
team,
do
the
presentation
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
deputation,
so
they
can
have
a
chance
to
see
the
presentation.
B
C
C
What
I'm
going
to
do
over
the
next
15
to
20
minutes
is
run
through
a
number
of
slides
that
basically
sum
up
our
159
page
document,
which
focuses
on
Toronto's
trans
expansion
program.
So
we
like
to
refer
to
this
as
the
Omnibus
transit
report,
because
it
pulls
together
all
the
critical
work
that
we've
been
doing
over
the
last
many
years
as
per
year
direction
next
slide.
So,
of
course,
this
is
a
comprehensive
view
of
the
status
of
our
trans
expansion
program.
C
It
as
well
speaks
to
the
matter
of
PTF
to
funding,
which
we
are
now
beginning
to
have
conversations
with
the
province
of
Ontario
will
be
working
with
the
government
of
candidates
as
secure.
We
are
seeking
authority
to
advance
specific
specific
projects
in
the
next
phase
of
work,
to
continue
progress
on
building
this
network
and
as
well
as
we're
going
to
be
identifying
key
issues
requiring
further
discussion
with
provincial
federal
partners
and
the
report.
As
I
say,
the
main
report
really
focuses
on
two
basic
things.
C
First,
the
transit
network
program
overview
and
then
secondly,
the
the
PTF
to
funding
phase
and
what
we're
recommending
regarding
to
that
and,
of
course,
there
are
five
attachments
with
specifying
detail
projects
related
to
the
p2
program
next
slide.
So
this
picture
summarizes
all
the
projects
that
are
part
of
Toronto's
transit
expansion
program.
This
is
a
program
that
was
approved
back
in
2016.
C
C
So
with
that,
though,
I
want
to
just
pause
for
a
second
and
the
status
of
transit
expansion
projects
and
something
I
think
that's
really
in
this
slide.
I
know
it's
got
a
lot
of
detail,
but
this
slide
really
summarizes
where
all
fifteen
projects
are
at
in
terms
of
of
a
of
a
planning
to
construction
process.
C
So
if
you
look
at
the
the
beginning
of
this
process,
which
is
that
bar
that's
in
deep
red,
that's
where
an
idea
of
a
transit
project
is
is
creative,
so,
whether
it's
a
problem
that
we're
trying
to
resolve
or
an
opportunity
we're
trying
to
take
advantage
of.
That's
your
very
first
stage,
all
the
way
to
the
point
in
which
the
project
has
been
procured
and
is
built
and
is
ready
to
be
ready
to
be
put
into
operation.
So
we've
been
talking,
I
know
from
the
last
several
meetings
about
stage
gating.
C
That's
out
there
right
now,
the
asset
itself
is
owned
by
TTC.
Our
planning,
design
and
engineering
phase
is
complete,
so
we're
ready
to
move
to
procurement.
This
has
Capital
cost
estimate
of
3.88
seven
billion
dollars.
We
call
this
a
class
three,
which
means
there's
a
considerable
amount
of
detail,
design
or
preliminary
design
that
backs
up
this
estimate.
So
it
should
give
you
a
reasonable
amount
of
confidence,
given
the
stage
that
we're
at
so
that's
the
the
first
of
the
program
I
want
to
point
to.
C
The
second
is
the
smart
track
stations
again
and
I'll
get
into
the
funding
commitments
later
on
the
presentation,
but
simply
to
point
out
that
it's
six
new
stations
on
the
stove,
the
lakeshore,
East
and
Kitchener
go
corridors,
we're
looking
to
see
ten-minute
six
to
ten
minute
service
at
peak
hours
with
fair
integration.
Of
course
we
want
to
leverage
the
provincial
investment
in
the
go
expansion
program.
The
owner
of
this
line,
as
you
know,
is
Metrolinx.
C
We
achieved
the
preliminary
design
and
engineering
stage
back
in
well
actually
back
in
April
of
2018
we're
effectively
ready
to
go
to
market
now.
You'll
recall
that
in
December
we
received
notification
from
Metrolinx
that
they
want
to
see
whether
or
not
the
stations
themselves
would
spark
any
kind
of
private
sector
interest.
The
one
that
you
do
know
that
has
interest
right
now
is
East
Harbor
and
first
Gulf
is
a
developer,
that's
interested
in
and
moving
forward
with
that
particular
station.
So
there
are
some
discussions
relative
to
that.
C
C
We
can't
stress
enough
the
fact
that
a
class-five
estimate
is
very
early
in
the
planning
of
such
a
important
line
and
that
the
the
error,
if
you
will,
if
you
want
to
call
it
that
is,
is
really
it
could
be
cheaper
than
the
price
that
we've
indicated
here
and
could
be
considerably
more
up
to
maybe
as
much
as
a
hundred
percent
more,
but
given
that
we
are
just
in
our
early
phases
of
design.
This
is
the
estimate
that
we
can
provide
you
at
this
time.
C
Of
course,
as
we
get
further
into
design
this
will
this
figure
is
more
than
likely
expected
to
change
and
we'd.
Be
updating
council
coordinate
lean?
Now
it
only
gets
any
secret.
This
is
one
of
the
lines
that
the
province
has
expressed
an
interest
in,
and
we
have
not
heard
specifically
what
exactly
the
design
considerations
that
they
have
are,
but
we
expect
we'll
be
hearing
that
in
the
coming
days
as
as
the
province
does
announce
its
funding,
this
Thursday,
the
next
is
the
blower
young
capacity
improvement.
C
This
is
a
station
expansion
with
modifications
to
address
capacity
constraints
on
line
one.
It
is
critical
to
ensure
that
the
station
can
safely
accommodate
and
the
more
than
two
hundred
thousand
passengers
that
use
the
station
each
day.
This
is
an
important
part
of
the
overall
network,
one
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
The
owner,
of
course,
is
TTC.
C
C
Next
is
the
waterfront
transit
network,
which
consists
of
several
transit
expansion,
improvement
approach,
including
priority
a
segment
described
as
follows:
the
Union
Station
Queens
key
link
is
a
streetcar
loop
extension,
expand
streetcar
network
capacity,
Union
Station
to
serve
transit,
demand
along
the
waterfront,
no
secret
to
anyone.
There's
tremendous
amount
of
growth
occurring
and
expected
to
grow
on
the
waterfront,
which
necessitates
the
need
for
an
adequate
transit
network.
So,
of
course
the
owner
is
TTC.
The
current
phase
is
we're
in
the
initiation
development
phase.
C
The
next
is
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
which
is
an
eastern
expansion
line
five
and
provides
transit
to
underserved
communities
in
the
city
and
supports
future
growth
and
development.
This
is
less
of
a
of
a
capacity
or
health
and
safety
matter.
It's
more
of
a
how
Toronto
is
going
to
ensure
that
it
grows
in
a
manner
which
it
has
planned.
So
again,
the
the
owner
is
Metrolinx.
The
current
phase
is
the
initiation
development
phase,
so
it's
ready
to
move
into
planning,
design
and
engineering.
C
C
The
next
slide-
Eglinton
West
LRT
western
extension
of
line
5,
improves
rapid
transit
connections
on
egg
McCann,
Avenue
Avenue
Airport
segment,
and
they
also
provide
better
access
to
Pearson
Airport
and
support
plans
for
transit
hubs.
So
once
again,
this
is
a
project
that
planning
staff
are
deeply
involved
in.
The
asset
itself
is
owned
by
Metro
links,
it's
in
the
initiation,
development
phase
and
as
well.
The
cost
estimate,
which
is
a
class
four
estimate,
is
the
order
of
1.8
billion.
So
this
again
is
a
project.
C
C
On
expansion
was
more
focused
on
state
of
good
repair
projects,
of
which
over
700
million
dollars
was
was
provided
to
TTC
in
order
for
them
to
acquire
a
fleet
or
address
fleet
consideration.
So
PT
f2
is
really
more
focused
on
expansion,
so
the
City
of
Toronto
has
been
allocated
four
point:
eight,
nine,
seven
billion
in
federal
funds
and
again
this
is
based
on
ridership
figures
and
included
in
that
figure,
is
the
660
billion
in
funding
for
line
he's
extension,
and
so
the
the
rules
of
this
program?
Basically
are.
C
The
federal
government
will
contribute
up
to
a
maximum
of
40
percent
of
eligible
expenditures.
The
province,
of
course,
has
a
role
to
play
and
will
contribute
a
minimum
of
33
percent
or
4.04
billion
in
new
funding,
which
that
does
not
include
the
prior
commitment
that
they
had
made
of
1.4
billion
in
provincial
funding
for
the
line
extension
and
as
well
under
under
this
program.
The
the
relationship
between
the
federal
provincial
in
the
city
is
as
follows.
C
So
again,
PT
f2
is
designed
to
advance
transit
network
expansion,
so
the
key
targets
or
objectives
of
the
program
are
to
address
capacity
issues
as
well
as
quality,
and/or
safety
issues
which
I've
identified.
We
have
a
number
of
projects
that
do
address
that,
as
well
as
to
improve
access
to
public
transit
system
as
a
whole.
The
province
is
responsible
for
identifying
prioritizing
eligible
projects
through
engagement
with
local
regional
governments
and
for
submitting
eligible
projects
to
the
federal
government.
C
We
are
effectively
ready
to
go
to
market,
so
our
design
work
has
been
completed,
we're
looking
to
procure
the
the
single
station
project
at
the
end
of
this
year,
although
of
course
that
all
may
change
the
subject
to
what
the
provincial
government
may
have
in
mind.
So
there
will
certainly
be
an
impact
on
the
timing
of
this
badly
needed
infrastructure
investment,
smart
track
stations
programme,
as
I've
said
we're
awaiting
some
response
by
Metro
links
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
the
stations
are
do
lend
themselves
to
private
investment.
C
C
You
have
the
waterfront
projects,
as
well
as
the
Eglinton
East
and
West
projects
identified
as
such,
and
so
that
will
give
you
a
very
good
idea.
Now,
when
you
look
at
this
list,
you'll
recall
all
with
the
exception
of
the
smart
track
stations
were
approved
by
council
back
in
2016.
Smart
track
stations
was
added
to
this
list
in
2017
and
to
the
credit
of
council
and
staff.
C
We
are
saying
very
clearly,
hopefully,
that
the
the
660
billion
dollars
or
660
million
or
0.66
billion
is
previously
approved
by
City
Council
on
October.
Twenty
thirteenth
will
be
dedicated
to
line
two
east
extension
project
that
0.58
five
billion
is
previously
approved
by
council
on
April
20
18
for
the
smart
track
stations
program,
and
then
we
have
three
point:
one:
five,
one
billion
for
the
relief
line
south
as
described
in
the
October
2018
environmental
project
report
and
then
finally
half
a
billion
dollars
for
the
blur
young
capacity
improvement
project.
C
But
I
think
it's
important
for
you
to
know
that
this
is
the
order
in
which
things
are
going
to
unfold.
So
again
in
terms
of
the
13
recommendations,
not
my
intent
to
read
what's
already
in
the
report,
but
recommendation
one
does
speak
to
how
we're
recommending
or
what
we're
making
recommending
in
terms
of
peat
tip,
2
federal
funding
priorities.
C
Recommendation
2
is
the
cost
matching
requirement
of
the
province
and
city
under
peat
tip
2
to
be
determined
as
per
upload
discussion
and
then,
of
course,
recommendation
3
relates
to
Authority.
I
am
going
to,
though
slow
down
a
bit
on
this
slide,
because
I
think
is
incredibly
important,
that
the
line
to
east
extension
project
recommendation
Ford
to
be
clear,
City
Council,
has
approved
three
point.
C
Funding
plan
recommendation
six
City,
Council
men,
noise
by
law
to
lying
to
the
list
of
exempted
transit
projects
and
then
recommendation
seven
that
should
Part,
A
or
B
of
recommendation
for
not
be
met.
City
Council,
direct
staff
to
report
to
the
City
Council,
with
an
assessment
of
the
cost
schedule
and
operational
impacts
associated
with
changing
the
scope,
and/or
delivery
model
of
the
line
to
extension,
project
and
principles
to
guide
further
discussions
with
the
project
or
province
re
and
then
waterfront
transit
network.
Again,
I'm
not
going
to
read
what
is
already
in
the
report.
C
But
it
does
specify
what
our
best
advice
is
to
you
in
terms
of
those
recommendations,
and
that
includes
the
next
slide.
Eggman
west
light
rail
transit
and
then
finally,
a
recommendation.
13
City,
Council
requests,
the
city
manager
and
CFO
and
treasurer
to
report
prior
to
launch
of
the
2020
budget
on
finding
and
finance
options
for
their
leaf
line,
south
glory
on
capacity
improvement
and
the
balance
of
the
projects,
including,
but
not
limited
to
the
preliminary
design
engineering
phase
of
waterfront
transit,
as
well
as
the
procurement
and
construction
phase
of
the
waterfront
transit
projects,
as
identified.
A
So
the
report
involves
an
incredible
amount
of
hard
work
over
a
very
long
period
of
time
and
I
think
the
report
is
very
complete
and
it's
very
thoughtful
and
we'll
hear
all
kinds
of
views
on
it
today
from
here
and
from
there.
But
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
hard
work,
cuz
I
think
it's
it's
a
big
piece
of
work
and
I
think
it's
something
that
gives
us
loss
to
chew
on.
A
So
thank
you
very
much
for
thank
you
and
thanks
for
the
presentation,
and
we
will
now
move
to
the
deputations,
a
reminder
that
we're
gonna
have
three
minutes
for
each
person
to
speak.
There
may
be
questions
asked
of
deputies,
I
think,
as
you
know,
so,
let's
start
with
Tim,
make
sure
I
pronounce
about
Cocker
the
waterfront
business
improvement
area
where's
it
Koster
not
neither
of
the
above.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I
apologize
for
taking
a
stab
at
the
name
and
not
just
asking
you
have
you're
most
welcome
here
and
you
have
three
minutes.
D
The
opportunity
to
speak
today,
I'm
Tim
Coker
executive
director
with
the
waterfront
BIA
and
with
me,
is
Kevin
curry.
The
chair
of
RBI
is
Board
of
Management.
Our
mandate
is
to
support
the
development
of
a
well-connected
waterfront
destination
and
support
the
continued
growth
of
our
business
community.
We're
here
today
to
talk
about
the
waterfront
East
LRT.
Our
business
members
have
historical
knowledge
of
the
LRT
they've
known
the
disruption
that
transit
improvements
can
cause
temporarily,
but
they
also
know
the
benefits
of
a
better
connected
waterfront.
Sorry
about
that.
D
Perfect,
the
community
is
very
grateful
for
the
higher
standard
provided
along
the
waterfront
by
the
City
of
Toronto,
the
TTC
and
Waterfront
Toronto.
We're
pleased
that
the
East
LRT
is
moving
from
needs
assessment
to
preliminary
design
and
engineering
as
part
of
today's
recommendations
to
step
in
the
right
direction,
but
we're
here
to
request
that
more
be
done
to
accelerate
its
construction.
The
Eastern
Waterfront
in
Portland's
is
the
largest
development
opportunity
in
the
Greater
Toronto
Area.
The
BIA
had
an
economic
impact
study
completed
by
hatch.
D
The
study
indicates
that
if
the
LR
East
LRT
was
completed
by
2025
through
the
Portland's
over
the
next
20
years,
it
would
support
office
space
equivalent
to
seven
first
game
places
and
living
space
is
equivalent
to
more
than
two
Liberty
villages.
The
LRT
is
vital
to
unlocking
this
growth
and
we
need
transit
to
support
it
as
soon
as
possible.
D
Work
must
be
continued
to
be
ready
to
build
the
LRT
soon
we'd
request
an
accelerated
timeline,
er
study
of
an
accelerated
timeline
for
interim
phase
solutions,
and
what
I
mean
by
this
is
there
will
be
issues
related
to
the
four
or
five
year:
construction
timeline
for
the
queen's
key
to
Union
Station
tunnel.
That's
referred
to
in
attachment
3.
D
We
request
that
that
study
include
potential
options
to
have
phase
construction,
where
the
east-west
connectivity
for
the
LRT
is
in
place
faster
in
public
consultations,
city
staff
indicated
it
may
be
possible
to
have
that
east-west
connectivity
in
place
prior
to
the
five
years
of
construction
that
would
be
required
for
the
tunnel.
We
look
forward
to
working
together
with
the
city,
TTC
and
Waterfront
Toronto
and
further
developing
plans
for
waterfront
transit.
Thank
you.
A
B
Didn't
Kevin,
thank
you
for
being
here.
The
economic
impact
study
that
you
commissioned
by
hatch
new.
You
alluded
to
existing
population,
the
twenty
five
thousand
it
lived
south
of
Gardner.
Can
you
walk
through
some
of
the
some
of
the
feedback
from
that
study
that
hatch
conducted
for
us
in
terms
of
the
economic
impacts
associated
with
both
building
and
accelerating
the
design?
So.
D
The
survey
referred
to
was
actually
referring
to
25,000
people
that
work
south
of
the
Gardner,
but
the
economic
impact
study
did
say
that
building
the
LRT-
and
this
is
the
completed
LRT
through
the
Portland's
to
Leslie
and
Cox.
Well,
essentially,
hatch
thought
that
25,000
new
residential
units
would
be
unlocked,
that's
room
for
about
67,000
people
and
132
thousand
jobs.
That's
the
seven
first
Canadian
places
I
referred
to.
Okay,.
B
B
And,
and
just
so
that
I
understand
the
the
feedback,
the
comments
you
were
giving
around
acceleration.
So
in
attachment
three,
it
refers
to
the
connection
between
Union,
Station
and
Queens
key
and
the
fixed
link
connection.
Can
you
expand
upon
what
you
were
talking
about
about
how
you
could
accelerate
the
east/west?
Were
you
talking
about
Queens
key
through
the
Portland's
as
the
acceleration
of
the
east/west
component,
while
the
tunnel
Connect
is
being
built
attachment.
D
3
right
now
is
referring
to
a
build
where
the
tunnel
would
be
expanded
and
then
the
East
LRT
would
be
built
soon
to
Parliament,
so
the
first
phase,
essentially
I'll
catch,
was
reviewing
as
well.
I
put
it
up
on
the
screen
here.
This
is
the
map
I,
believe
it's
Figure
1
in
attachment
3,
and
these
are
my
notes
on
it,
but
because
the
tunnel
requires
that
significant
construction
disruption
that
would
need
to
be
planned
for
anyway,
the
public
consultations
we
were
in.
D
B
Ok,
so
building
on
some
of
the
economic
impact
analysis,
that's
being
done
if
we
were
to
accelerate
the
construction
of
the
east-west
line
without
the
fixed
link
tunnel
connection,
we
could
unlock
some
of
that
growth.
While
we
build
the
tunnel
to
have
true
ridership
improvement
with
the
fixed
link,
yes,
ok,
understood.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
A
E
Morning,
I'm
here
today
because
of
the
TTC
mantra,
if
you
see
something
say
something,
I
see
an
elephant
in
the
room.
The
elephant
is
ridership.
Ridership
was
not
considered
when
deciding
the
Shepherd
subway,
the
Shepherd
subway
runs
nearly
empty.
Most
of
the
time,
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
were
spent
to
build
the
subway
stations
to
be
used
by
a
few
hundred
people.
There
is
no
projected
ridership
for
the
downtown
relief
line.
In
last
May's
executive
committee
meeting
for
agenda
smart,
smart
Trek,
counselor
Davis
asked
about
ridership.
Her
question
went
unanswered.
E
Apparently,
the
Memorandum
of
Understanding
for
smart
spot
Trax
specifies
this
frequency
of
service,
but
it
has
never
been
released
to
the
public
nor
read
by
councillors
who
voted
without
reading
it.
Deputy
mayor
Baio
asked
about
fair
integration.
An
extra
charge
of
a
dollar
50
is
required
to
transfer
from
TTC
to
go
instead
of
an
integrated
fare.
E
E
E
The
elephant
may
become
a
white
elephant
just
like
the
Shepherd
subway.
We
are
also
spending
too
much
money
going
backwards.
The
young
Bloor
station
expansion
of
passenger
capacity
is
estimated
at
1
billion
dollars.
The
st.
George
station,
which
has
no
overflow
capacity,
is
potentially
more
dangerous.
Rather
than
building
a
bigger
band-aid,
we
should
be
building
another
rapid
transit
route,
I
digress,
I,
repeat
the
elephant
in
the
room
is
ignoring
ridership.
That
elephant
may
become
a
white
elephant
just
like
the
Shepherd
subway,
the
mantra.
If
you
see
something
say
something
only
applies.
If
someone
is
listening.
A
F
Morning,
your
worship
and
councillors
I'm
speaking
this
morning
as
chair
of
the
event
and
West
LRT
community
working
group
established
at
the
direction
of
Council
in
December
2017,
you
should
all
have
our
three
reports.
I
encourage
you
to
read
them
and
to
ask
questions.
We
believe
the
primary
goal
of
Dignan
to
West
LRT
should
be
to
provide
rapid
transit
service
for
air
travelers
and
workers
in
the
airport,
employment
area,
the
capacity
level
of
service
and
upgrade
capability
should
accommodate
a
region
reasonably
projected
user
demand
and
service
expectations
over
a
60
year
period.
F
The
city's
plans
for
an
at-grade
event
and
West
LRT
are
not
consistent
with
that
goal.
Inexplicably
they
ignore
air,
travelers
and
workers
in
the
airport,
employment
area
north
of
the
401.
This
is
a
critical
error.
Over
400,000
workers
in
the
air,
ployment
and
employment
area
need
better
transit
to
match
airports
at
other
great
cities.
The
GTAA
wants
over
40,000,
more
travelers
to
use
transit
every
day.
These
numbers
imply
far
more
riders
than
indicated
in
the
city's
LRT
plans.
F
Our
investigation
of
great
separation
revealed
that
the
primary
concern
is
not
grade,
but
whether
or
not
the
LRT
is
separated
from
the
roads.
If
the
LRT
is
fully
separated
from
traffic
and
signals
of
the
roads
network,
then
trains
can
run
every
two
minutes
instead
of
every
three
or
four
minutes
service
is
faster,
more
predictable
and
reliable
and
more
attractive
to
riders.
Most
importantly,
a
fully
separated
LRT
will
move
twice
as
many
people,
and
that
capacity
is
needed
without
the
airport
and
surrounding
employment.
F
There
will
be
no
need
for
an
England
and
West
LRT
simply
upgrade
bus
service
as
demand
grows,
save
over
a
billion
dollars,
but
that
would
abandon
the
primary
goal
providing
Rapid
Transit
that
serves
as
many
Airport
area
workers
and
air
travelers
as
possible
to
meet
the
goal.
We
recommend
that
vehicle
into
West
LRT
be
fully
separated
from
the
roads.
To
achieve
this,
it
should
be
above
grade
across
the
ombré
Valley,
then
tonnage
below
grade
through
Central
Otago
code
to
west
of
highway
427
from
there
to
the
airport.
F
It
should
continue
to
be
fully
separated
from
the
roads.
Data
provided
by
the
project
team
indicates
a
fully
separated.
Lrt
will
cost
two
point:
three
billion
dollars.
Those
are
2014
dollars.
Our
business
case
analysis
shows
benefits
that
weigh
cost
by
a
ratio
of
three
point
one.
Our
report
discusses
significant
issues
with
traffic
and
ridership
modeling.
The
methodologies
have
serious
limitations
and
the
results
are
highly
suspect.
We
recommend
use
of
macro
models
and
former
demographics
and
strategic
plans
for
development
and
growth
instead
of
micro
simulation.
F
We
found
that
the
city's
rapid
transit
evaluation
framework
used
to
compare
alternatives,
lacks
objectivity
and
is
vulnerable
to
bias.
Almost
any
desired
outcome
can
be
achieved
by
manipulation
of
the
process
in
places
that
we
recommend
a
decision
support
system
that
combines
all
the
inputs,
an
objective
manner,
not
subject
to
bias.
Thank
you
for
your
attention.
I'd,
be
pleased
to
answer
your
questions.
Thanks.
B
You
mr.
mayor
and
I'm
going
to
steal
a
couple
seconds
just
to
say
thank
you
to
mr.
green
and
the
community
working
group.
It
was
three-year
leadership
that
they
were
established
and
they've
worked
for
almost
18
months,
13
people
through
meetings
with
staff
and
then
eventually
meetings
on
their
own
and
have
put
an
enormous
amount
of
hours
into
the
research
they've
done
to
bring
them
to
the
point
that
they
could
come
speak
to
the
executive
committee
and
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
look
at
the
reports.
As
mr.
B
green
stated,
there's
a
lot
of
detail
in
there,
but
through
you
to
mr.
green
I,
wondered
if
you
could
just
elaborate
a
bit
more.
You
touched
on
the
rapid
transit
evaluation
framework,
which
is
the
tool
that
we
have
to
analyze
the
case
for
a
lot
of
these
projects
and
we've
applied
that
to
a
number
of
transit
projects.
But
what
was
your
groups
finding
in
terms
of
how
that
tool
worked,
and
did
you
have
some
other
thoughts
on
how
to
do
it?
Better?
Maybe
yes,.
F
The
what
we
found
was
that
we
were
asked
for
input
in
terms
of
criteria
that
would
be
used
in
some
ranking
scheme
that
signs
equal
waiting
to
eat
different
categories
of
criteria.
So
we
provided
extensive
input.
I
think
eighty-seven,
separate
criteria
that
we
addressed.
One
of
the
primary
criteria
we
included,
was
the
capacity
of
the
of
the
line
if
the
line
is
separated
from
the
roads.
F
It's
called
analytic
Network
process,
it's
quite
mathematically,
sophisticated
it's
supported
by
software
and
there's
good
consulting
there
university
courses
on
it,
but
it
basically
takes
input
from
all
stakeholders
all
experts
and
combines
that
input
in
a
sophisticated
manner
to
determine
your
rankings
through
a
this
mathematical
analysis.
I'm.
B
One
of
the
things
we
heard
over
and
over
again
in
the
community
at
the
community
meetings
was
the
concern
over
traffic
impact
from
construction
and
even
a
possible
solution
that
modified
the
the
workings
of
Eglinton,
Avenue
and
part
of
the
process
of
your
group
was
to
dig
into
the
processes
used
by
city
staff
to
develop
their
recommendations
in
the
report
around
traffic
modeling.
Could
you
tell
the
executive
committee
what
you
found
with
your
investigation
of
those
models
and
any
brief
recommendations
going
forward
on
how
we
could
do
that
better
as
well?
Okay,.
F
So
the
project
team
actually
organized
one
of
the
meetings
at
the
the
consulting
firm
that
was
doing
traffic
modeling,
so
they
came
in
and
presented
how
their
model
works.
It
defines
an
area
that
I
think
extends
for
about
three
kilometers
around
the
the
LRT
and
takes
data
from
the
boundary,
the
the
inputs,
the
flows
in
and
out
of
that
area
and
then
models
in
detail
the
traffic
flow
within
the
area.
It's
called
a
micro
simulation,
so
every
every
vehicle
on
the
road
is
modelled
as
part
of
this
and
talking
with
the
people
are
doing
it.
F
They
agreed
that
that
probably
going
beyond
ten
years
would
not
give
you
any
useful
results.
Now
in
the
report
that
the
city
manager
is
presented,
there
are
projections
for
twenty
forty
one,
which
is
almost
twenty
years
out,
which
is
way
beyond
what
the
consultant
suggested
would
be
viable.
Those
that
result
from
the
report
indicates
that
the
traffic
along
Eglinton
Avenue
between
Mount,
Dennis
and
renforth
would
be
slowed
by
about
a
factor
of
two
at
peak
towers.
So,
instead
of
eighteen
minutes,
it
could
take
you
40
or
42
minutes.
F
That's
not
where
we
want
to
go
clearly,
and
so
a
more
strategic
approach
is
needed
to
developing
a
plan
for
traffic.
In
this
mystery
we
need
to
look
at
what
can
we
do
with
transit
to
reduce
the
ridership?
None
of
that
what-if
scenario
was
done.
If
we
put
the
LRT
separate
from
the
roads
and
we've
got
good
service,
then
we
may
be
able
to
drive,
draw
a
significant
ridership.
You
know
away
from
cars,
but
but
none
of
that
analysis
was
done.
It's
a
micro
simulation
is
really
not
a
way
to
do
long-range
planning.
A
G
Thank
You
honorable
committee,
I'm
Suri,
sovereign
Chi,
I'm,
a
student
of
the
University
of
Toronto
schools
but,
more
importantly,
I'm
a
resident
of
Malvern
I
commute
to
and
from
school
every
single
day
and
next
year,
I'm
leaving
to
boarding
school
in
the
US.
So
I
wanted
to
personally
do
something
to
support
my
community
in
terms
of
the
transit
situation
that
it
faces
currently
so
today,
I
come
to
you
not
to
speak
about
the
benefits
of
public
transit
for
Toronto,
nor
the
city's
need
for
it,
for
that
has
already
been
acknowledged.
G
The
Scarborough
subway,
which
is
painted
to
be
the
herald
of
the
transit
expansion
to
Scarborough
by
city
and
province
alike,
is
in
no
way
that
it
does
not
provide
the
local
transit
connections
and
the
transit
network
that
Scarborough
so
desperately
needs.
A
one-stop
extension
of
line
2
from
the
from
Kennedy
station
to
Scarborough
town
centre
does
not
provide,
in
fact
the
local
connections.
That's
governance.
Upgrading
the
current
crumbling
Scarborough
RT
to
the
modern
LRT
f--
systems
in
fact
reduces
the
cost
of
the
one
stop
scarborough
extension
by
2.5
billion
dollars.
G
This
is
funding
that
can
easily
be
diverted
and
used
for
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
something
that
will
benefit
Scarborough
much
more
to
the
inhabitants
of
Malvern
and
those
of
Scarborough
entire.
The
treatment
we
receive
pertaining
to
public
transit
from
City
Hall
is
viewed
of
a
sliding
of
those
who
need
it.
The
most
the
deprived,
the
unfortunate
the
underprivileged,
the
poverty-stricken
marginalized
communities
that
populate
serrano's
third
see
those
who
lack
even
the
basic
functions
of
upward
mobility.
Do
you
in
major
part
to
the
lack
of
sustainable,
efficient
and
affordable
public
transit?
G
The
lack
of
this
fundamental
need.
The
creation
of
transit
deserts
constrains
individuals
from
being
able
to
find
a
job.
The
bay
SiC
essential
need
to
any
individual.
This
is
a
direct
undeniable
cause
of
the
inequality
we
see
permeating
today's
society
and
trickling
down
through
generations.
Poorer
families
are
less
likely
to
invest
in
education
and
skills,
for
they
simply
do
not
have
the
resources.
This
makes
their
children
less
likely
to
gain
a
high
higher
paying
job
and
their
ability
to
escape.
This
vicious
cycle
is
drastically
reduced.
G
The
very
fact
that
public
transportation,
which
should
cater
to
those
who
need
it
the
most
those
farthest
away
from
the
center
of
economic
stimulus,
has
done
the
exact
opposite
in
Toronto,
and
that
is
quite
frankly
appalling.
Not
only
will
these
public
transportation
projects
create
corridors
for
better
access
to
downtown
to
provide
inter
Scarborough
travel
access,
reversing
the
destructive
but
popular
car
culture
trend
of
suburbia?
It
will
also
promote
growth
and
community
sense
in
the
areas
that
lack
those
the
most.
G
If
you,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
honorable
committee
support
the
elimination,
the
process
of
the
elimination
of
inequality,
the
accurate
representation
of
the
citizens
of
Toronto's
interests,
the
growth
of
the
marginalized
relegated
and
underprivileged
communities
of
Malvern,
if
you
support
the
Eglinton,
East
LRT
and
six
tension
to
Malvern
all
right.
Thank.
H
You
so
much
for
coming
today,
because
this
is
a
long
journey.
So
you
understand
that
that
when
you,
when
you
say
that
really
if
we
went
back
to
to
the
LRT
plan
that
that
we
saved
the
money
that
can
be
used
elsewhere,
you
understand
that
the
knee-jerk
response
would
be.
Oh,
that's
a
delay.
We
change
to
the
the
subway
plan.
That's
a
delay!
You
understand
that
people
would
throw
that
up.
G
As
an
obstacle,
so
in
terms
of
diverting
funding
and
then
going
through
the
planning
stages
again
for
the
LRT
that
afore,
that
would
yeah
sort
of
delay
any
sort
of
public
transportation
investment
that
could
happen
in
Scarborough
yeah,
but
the
delay
that
it
may
cause-
and
it
will,
it
will
inevitably
cause-
is
definitely
a
small
price
to
pay
in
terms
of
the
larger
growth
that
will
create
for
Scarborough
the
larger
benefit
at
the,
and
that
will
happen
for
the
residents
of
Scarborough.
That,
in
fact,
are
the
ones
that
needed
the
most
right.
H
So
your
your
proposal,
then,
if
we
were
to
go
back
to
that
route
we
do
get
almost
to
Malvern
and-
and
that
would
be
a
logical
place
to
then
extend
to
keep
going,
because
it
that
that
LRT
was
gonna.
Stop
at
Centennial
College
done
laundered
and
come
up
a
little
a
little
bit
east
of
the
Chinese
Cultural
Center,
almost
to
Nielson
Road,
almost
a
shepherd
and
Nielsen,
and
then
you're
gonna
extend
it
from
there.
H
You
would
go
up
to
Malvern
Town
Center
that
so
so
that
would
if
we,
if
we
were
going
to
delay,
that
would
be
a
more
sensible
delay
and
serve
more
people
then
say
today,
sticking
with
the
plan
that
you
criticize
and
then
adding
some
way
to
get
to
Malvern
somewhere
else.
That
would
be
an
even
longer
delay
exactly
yes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
coming
today,
thanks.
A
I
First
I
wanted
to
commend
the
city
for
the
excellent
work
done
over
the
last
three
years
by
city
staff
on
the
design
and
public
consultations
for
this
project
by
all
accounts,
there's
really
strong
support
in
Scarborough
for
a
surface
LRT
along
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
route.
So
the
the
extension
of
Eglinton
lr
teats
at
UTSC
and
later
Malvern
should
be
a
top
priority
for
the
City
of
Toronto.
I
would
argue
for
six
reasons.
First,
for
the
investment,
this
line
will
deliver
improve
transit
service
for
more
Toronto
residents
than
any
of
the
other
projects.
I
Currently,
under
consideration
and
large
numbers
of
low-income
residents
live
within
walking
distance
of
this
route.
Second,
most
trips
by
Scarborough
residents
are
within
Scarborough,
so
the
EE
LRT
will
be
much
more
valuable
for
Scarborough
residents
than
the
line
to
extension
to
Scarborough
town
centre,
which
will
serve
primarily
trips
to
and
from
downtown,
which
are
a
much
smaller
share
of
trips
in
Scarborough.
I
Fourth,
there's
enormous
potential
for
redevelopment
and
intensification
along
this
corridor
that
will
also
help
transform
Scarborough
into
a
more
transit
oriented
and
pedestrian
friendly
part
of
the
city.
Fifth,
electric
powered
Transit
is
one
of
the
most
effective
ways
for
Toronto
to
reduce
carbon
emissions,
and
this
line
will
replace
hundreds
of
diesel
bus
trips
and
thousands
of
car
trips
every
day
with
electric
powered
LRT
s,
sixth
and
I
think
this
is
incredibly
important.
I
This
line
can
be
built
very
quickly
compared
to
any
of
the
proposed
subway
projects
which
are
all
still
a
decade
or
more
away
from
being
in
service.
This
line
can
be
up
and
running
before
any
of
the
subway
subway
projects
and
could
be
a
major
legacy
of
this
term
of
council.
So
I
urge
you
to
prioritize
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
and
push
it
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
Thank
you
for
you.
J
Dr.
Sorenson
thank
you
for
this,
and
and
for
the
various
contributions
you've
made
over
the
years.
One
of
the
you
presented
a
lot
of
data
and
evidence
for
why
you
think
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
would
be
a
preferred
route.
I.
Do
you
see
anything
in
the
this
document
or
any
other
City
document
ever?
It
makes
the
kind
of
comparison
that
you
just
made.
I.
I
I
Terms
of
development
potential
along
different
corridors-
that's
correct!
No
I,
I,
don't
think
that
is
a
routine
part
of
transit
planning
on
yeah
I.
Think
one
of
the
top
priorities
should
be
looking
at
that
potential
and
what
I
want
that?
One
of
the
pieces
of
the
report
that
we
authored
showed
was
that
it's
very
there
is
actually
very
little
development
capacity
in
most
of
our
suburbs
because
they
were
planned
to
be
stable
and
we
protect
this
debate,
stability
of
existing
residential
neighborhoods.
I
K
I
I
I
would
say
less
I
think
in
in
because
of
the
urban
form
of
Malvern.
There's
significant
development
potential
really
around
the
shopping
mall
there
around
Malvern
Center
there
is,
but
elsewhere
in
Malvern,
not
so
much
right,
because
it's
residential
yeah
and
the
the
distinctive
thing
about
Eglinton
and
Kingston
Road
is
there
are
large,
Lots
all
the
way
fronting
along
that
arterial,
road
and
farther
north
north
of
the
401.
The
Metro
planning
regime
made
sure
that
there
were
very
few
large
parcels
fronting
on
the
arterial
roads.
They
would
just
wanted
traffic
on
those
roads.
I
K
K
I
K
I
K
M
Thank
you
through
you,
Meritor
e
/
Foster
Sorensen,
thanks
for
coming
in
I,
wanted
to
ask
you
once
again
about
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
and
you've
been
involved
following
this
I've
been
following
your
reading
and
your
social
media.
Since
mayor
former
mayor,
mailer
came
up
with
transit
city.
So
when
you
look
at
the
eglantine
East
LRT
to
UTS,
see
if
we
did
something
today,
so
we
did
away
with
the
phasing
and
we
moved
it
all
the
way
to
Malvern
in
one
phase,
do
you
think
that's
viable.
I
I
M
I
Iii
I
guess
I
would
say
if
the
this
project
could
be
started
at
the
very
soon
as
possible
by
starting
with
the
UTSC
piece.
That
makes
sense
if
the
money
can
be
allocated
to
go
all
the
way
to
Malvern,
and
do
it
all
at
once.
I
think
that
also
makes
sense.
Okay,
the
sooner
it
gets,
started
the
better.
In
my
view,
okay,
which.
M
A
A
N
Morning,
executive
committee
members,
my
name
is
Michael
Manu
and
I'm.
The
budget
lead
for
the
Toronto
youth
cabinet,
the
official
youth
advisory
body
to
the
city.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
my
deputation
I
have
come
to
express
my
support
for
the
Edmundston
East
LRT
and
employ
the
executive
committee
to
fund
the
project
as
a
lifelong
resident
of
East
Garber,
primarily
in
the
Kingston
Galloway
and
organ
Park
and
Scarborough
village
neighbourhoods.
N
Transit
upgrades
are
well
overdue
for
our
community
safer
one
new
express,
plus
and
a
pilot
for
the
12
D
on
Kingston
Road
I,
can't
think
of
much
else
that
has
been
done
to
improve
transit
for
folks
in
our
community.
When
I
was
a
kid
approximately
12
years
ago,
transit
city
was
announced
and
I
remember,
being
very
excited
to
have
a
rapid
transit
line
serving
my
neighbourhood
fast
forward
12
years,
and
it
seems
as
though
we
are
still
a
day
one
when
I
think
of
the
potential
that
the
Eglinton
E's
LRT
has
for
Scarborough.
N
It
is
hard
to
not
be
excited.
The
line
will
improve
service
for
people
who
currently
rely
on
transit
along
the
corridor,
attract
new
transit
users
and
encourage
active
transportation.
I
also
believe
that
the
eaglets
nice
LRT
is
important
in
general
for
attracting
investment,
development
and
jobs
for
the
people
of
East
Scarborough,
with
the
upcoming
development
in
Golden
Mile.
This
line
will
allow
for
many
to
access
a
multitude
of
new
opportunities.
As
indicated
in
city
reports.
The
line
is
slated
to
travel
through
several
neighborhood
improvement
areas.
N
I
want
to
take
it
a
step
further
and
emphasize
that
it
will
not
only
travel
through
but
connect
these
neighborhoods
as
well.
On
a
recent
trip
to
New
York
City
I
was
fascinated
by
the
history
of
the
a
train
which
was
monumental
in
connecting
the
black
communities
in
Harlem
in
Upper,
Manhattan
and
Bedford
Stuyvesant
in
Brooklyn.
It
also
increased
access
to
jobs
and
housing
for
this
group
of
people
at
the
time.
N
I
believe
that
the
Eglinton
YZ
LRT
can
do
the
same
thing
for
the
historically
underserved
people
of
our
community,
whether
it
is
from
Malvern
to
kgo
or
from
ion
view
to
Scarborough
Village
right
now,
as
a
Scarborough
resident
based
on
the
actions
of
previous
administrations,
I
have
very
little
faith
in
seeing
significant
transit
improvement
in
our
often
times
it
feels
like.
Transit
in
Scarborough
is
used
as
a
tool
for
political
gain
and
nothing
more.
N
It
is
extremely
disheartening
to
go
to
a
community
meeting
and
hear
older
people
tell
me
that
they
don't
think
they'll
be
alive
to
actually
use
the
line,
not
because
of
old
age,
but
because
of
our
inability
to
stick
to
a
plan
pass
a
term
of
office.
The
time
has
come
to
take
action
for
an
invest
in
Scarborough,
with
the
potential
changes
to
transit
governance
in
Toronto.
It
appears
as
if
the
agency
knees,
LRT
is
slated
to
lose
priority
status
and
the
funding
associated
with
it.
N
K
N
M
Know
morning,
Michael
thanks
for
coming
in
again,
so
I
just
wanted.
So
what
we're
looking
at
today
is
the
first
phase
of
the
eglantine
East
LRT
up
to
U
of
T
Scarborough.
As
you
know,
it
goes
through
five
neighborhood
improvement
areas,
including
kgo.
So
if
we
took
the
second
phase
up
to
Malvern
and
put
it
all
in
one
which
is
gonna,
extend
the
building
and
the
construction
to
even
see
the
first
phase,
do
you
think
your
residence
in
kgo
would
find
that
acceptable?
I.
N
N
You,
as
you
know,
once
we
won't
you
finish
phase
one,
and
you
know
you
don't
have
the
the
capacity
or
the
capital
to
be
able
to
get
Phase
two
done
or
the
cost
increase
more
than
what
has
been
proposed
right
now
in
the
reports,
then
that's
an
issue
that
will
have
to
do
what.
So
if
we
can
get
it
done
now,
I
think
that
the
people
of
kgo,
if
it'll,
if
it'll,
delay
the
project
a
small
amount
for
the
better
for
the
long
term,
it'll
it'll
it'll
be
best
for
Scarborough
great.
A
A
L
You
good
morning,
members
of
the
executive
committee
and
Mayor
Tory.
My
name
is
jamal
myers
and
I'm
a
volunteer
of
scarborough
transit
action
and
a
resident
of
scarborough
Guildwood.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
talk,
the
opportunity
to
speak,
I'm
here
today
to
speak
in
favor
of
prioritizing
the
funding
of
the
Eglinton
east
LRT
as
a
rapid
transit
project
that
scarborough
desperately
needs
the
15
kilometer
24
stop
Eglinton
East
LRT
runs
through
seven
priority,
neighborhoods
to
post-secondary
campuses
and
into
Malvern.
L
It
connects
neighborhoods
businesses
and
communities
to
one
another
and
to
the
rest
of
Toronto
and
significantly
cuts
TTC
commute
times
that
are
commonly
1
and
a
half
to
two
hours.
Each
way
as
up
to
40,000
residents
could
walk
to
a
rapid
transit
stop
instead
of
having
to
take
the
bus
to
one.
It
is
also
the
only
Rapid
Transit
Project
plan
for
scarborough
that
concurrently
serves
the
needs
of
the
48%
of
scarborough
transit
riders
that
use
the
TTC
to
commute
with
in
scarborough
and
the
23%
of
transit
riders
heading
downtown.
L
The
Eglinton
East
LRT
is
also
consistent
with
the
goals
of
the
2015
Toronto
poverty
reduction
strategy
was
called
for
quote:
improved
transit
services
in
the
inner
suburbs
by
increasing
reliability
across
bus,
subway
and
LRT
modes,
and
considering
the
needs
of
low-income
neighborhoods
and
inner
suburbs
in
capital
and
service
service
planning,
and
quote
more
than
a
hundred
and
thirty-three
Scarberry
ins
are
low-income.
One
in
four
kids
live
in
poverty
and
one
in
five
families
are
headed
by
single
women.
L
According
to
a
large
ongoing
Harvard
study,
the
single
biggest
factor
determining
whether
these
families
and
individuals
can
escape
poverty
or
commute
times
ie
the
longer
their
commutes,
the
less
their
chances
are
of
achieving
upward
mobility.
My
own
story
of
growing
up
in
Scarborough
bears
this
out.
I
grew
up
in
public
housing
and
I
was
raised
by
a
single
mom.
We
didn't
have
a
car,
so
the
TTC
was
our
only
way
to
get
around.
L
In
my
last
year
of
high
school,
my
family
moved
to
Malvern
and
since
the
commute
between
the
beaches
and
Malvern
would
have
been
too
long,
I
moved
in
with
family
members
that
lived
near
my
high
school
living
in
the
beaches
meant
that
I
could
easily
take
the
24-hour
Queen
streetcar,
which
allowed
me
to
take
a
summer
job
in
University
cleaning
subway
trains
at
the
TTC
is
Greenwood
yard.
My
shift
was
between
8:30
p.m.
to
5:00
a.m.
had
I
stayed
in
Malvern.
L
I
couldn't
have
taken
this
job
because
there
simply
would
have
been
no
way
for
me
to
get
from
Greenwood
to
Malvern
at
5:00
a.m.
without
this
job.
I
couldn't
have
afforded
to
pay
my
tuition
and
would
not
have
been
able
to
pursue
my
dream
of
becoming
a
lawyer.
The
Eglinton
East
LRT
offers
thousands
of
families
and
young
people
living
in
Scarborough
the
same
opportunity
to
escape
poverty
like
I
had
I'll.
L
L
K
L
So
I
also
sit
on
the
board
of
Tai
boo
community
health
centre.
Okay
and
the
board
passed
a
resolution
in
support
of
the
Edmonton
East
lrg,
because
we
recognized
that
it
would
help
patients
get
to
the
centre
in
terms
of
when
they're
doing
other
doctors,
appointments
or
participating
in
things
like
Malvern
eats.
So,
yes,
I
think,
there's
significant
chances
of
improving
the
lives
of
people
living
in
Melbourne.
So.
K
K
L
Because
I
think
the
residents
north
of
401
desperately
need
that
line
more
than
probably
most
people
in
Toronto
there's
currently
no
way
to
get
to
the
city
or
to
get
to
any
jobs.
Unless
you
take
public
transit,
if
you're
going
downtown
unless
you're
taking
multiple
buses,
it
takes
me
an
hour
and
a
half
I'm
sure
it
takes
most
some
of
them
two
hours
or
an
hour
and
45
minutes
and
I.
Think
that's
really
unfair.
Considering
they've
been
waiting
almost
10
years
now
for
this
line,
and
it
was
promised
to
them
repeatedly.
Thank.
A
D
It's
a
shame
that
there's
only
three
minutes
when
there's
so
much,
that's
less
good
about
what
our
transit
is
and
what
it
isn't
and
I
was
thinking
with
all
the
billions
and
all
the
plans
and
the
back-and-forth.
Well,
let's
just
make
a
game
out
of
it
see
what
happens:
a
corker
Cerebus
wins,
stock,
TDC,
etc,
stack
TDC!
Oh
there's
a
fare
hike
oops!
D
What's
a
billion
I'm,
sorry,
there's
just
so
much
vagueness
and
back
and
forth,
and
this
and
that
we
are
focused
more
on
the
big
fixes,
rather
than
the
things
that
have
I,
think
greater
effectiveness
with
political
will
of
keeping
it
simply
surface
and
one
of
the
big
problems
that
we
have
is
the
tunnel
vision
up
in
Scarborough,
I'm,
sorry
that
Scarborough
subway
we've
got
to
spend
money
in
Scarborough
this
this
subway
extension,
whatever
you
want
to
call.
It
is
not
good
value,
it
says
so
in
the
report.
It's
finally
out
it's
not
good
value.
D
So
please
make
a
motion:
withdraw
the
all
the
support
for
the
Scarborough
subway
extension
and
reallocate
that
support
for
the
for
the
Eglinton,
East
LRT
and
the
money
thereof.
It's
the
Eglinton
LRT
and
the
LRT
sjr
in
our
much
better,
much
better
value
for
the
money,
and,
quite
honestly
the
planning
is
getting
suspect.
D
You
probably
saw
this.
This
I
hope
you
swear.
Where
is
it
here?
In
Scarborough,
subway
cost
estimates
far
higher
than
council
told
that
I'm
sorry,
your
your
whole
process
has
gotten
really
smelly
how
you
how
we
get
a
little
bit
pregnant
with
big
project
oops.
What's
four
hundred
million
dollars,
you
were
misinformed
somehow
and
that's
wrong.
We've
got
a
you
should
pay
a
penalty
for
having
this
this.
This
estimate
up
to
four
billion.
Now
it's
just
not
good
value.
Let's
retreat
from
this
Scarborough
subway
extension,
there
are
other
options
to
help.
D
Scarborough
the
the
the
the
allergies
are
one
thing:
the
smart
spur
LRT
a
smart
smart
spur
project
to
rebuild
parts
of
the
AR
t2
advantage
of
the
smart,
take
advantage
of
the
north
of
the
east-west
connection
up
at
the
top
of
this
Scarborough
town
centre.
That's
better
deal
as
well
and
now
I
have
to
know
and
I
also
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
value
in
using
the
hydro,
chord
or
thinking
about
it.
D
With
relief,
yes,
we
need
relief,
but
we
need
to
have
relief
function,
not
necessarily
a
subway
that
involves
going
surface
far
more
than
what
we've
had
that
was
1942
using
the
dawn
Valley.
Let's
see
where
there
was
another
one,
maybe
okay!
This
is
20
odd
years
ago,
again
using
surface
to
get
up
to
Eglinton
Eglinton
is
going
to
come
online.
We've
got
to
get
up
to
Eglinton
as
soon
as
possible.
D
D
E
E
For
again
we
have
transit
city,
fully
funded,
ready
to
go
and
development
would
have
been
up
and
running
today
if
it
hadn't
been
stopped
by
the
Ford
brothers.
Here
we
are
again
now
2019,
hey,
looking
East
LRT,
a
plan
that
could
reach
a
pop
attention:
a
dense
area
in
Marvin
in
Malvern,
ready
to
go
early
stages
to
develop
me,
and
here
we
are
it's
not
a
priority
of
the
for
the
government.
It's
being
caused
so
I
feel
is
the
time
to
move
for
is
now
on
such
projects
such
as
the
Eglinton
East
LRT.
E
It's
a
most
efficient
way
to
reach
a
service
regional
area,
that's
currently
being
held
together
by
a
bus
network
in
the
two
letters
that
were
delivered
by
the
PC
government.
With
the
four
priority
projects
should
be
read,
it
should
be
a
red
flag
for
the
city.
They
show
that
those
who
warned
us,
but
the
potentials
are
upload
and
the
Casa
de
lazy
would
cause
and
the
loss
of
control
over
transit
prime
transit
planning
was
right.
E
I
would
advise
to
say
to
stick
to
its
own
plans
and
priorities
and
to
keep
the
Edmonton
East
LRT
on
the
front
burner.
It's
important
to
the
people
of
Scarborough
that
the
city
move
ahead
with
planning
engineering
of
the
whole
Eglinton
East
LRT
project
Mallory
center,
not
just
phase
one
phasing
always
always
carries
a
danger
that
could
be
knocked
off
the
agenda
by
political
pressure.
E
Look
at
the
record
so
far
record
show
us
that
anal,
teenies,
LRT
and
other
tality
projects
we
built
is
publicly
owned,
operated,
funded
and
maintained
lines
as
part
of
the
public
project,
a
private
partnership
or
p3s,
as
we
call
it
on
the
Metrolinx
project.
The
Eddington
crosstown
had
a
30-year
Mena's
contract.
That's
been
handled,
it's
been
sent
over
to
Bombardier
the
second
red
flag
about
the
upload
strategy.
The
city
should
be
taking
very
seriously.
E
When
we
look
at
the
past
records
in
Canada
and
around
the
world,
having
the
private
sector
run
and
maintain,
transit
lines
has
been.
Nothing
short
is
after
the
metas
field
in
Australia,
it's
filled
in
the
UK.
Now
we
have
companies
such
as
Bombardier,
who
can't
deliver
a
see,
a
quality
vehicle
north
street
car
on
time.
It's
one
thing
to
build
the
transit
line,
but
the
maintenance
and
sub
part
in
a
result
will
create
a
looting
scenario
for
scarborough
and
other
areas
of
toronto.
If.
E
A
K
E
Think
the
plan
with
the
Pendleton
is
RT
should
be
to
connect
the
whole
loop.
Not
just
so.
We
complete
the
circle,
so
it
makes
it
easier
for
residents
to
travel
around.
It
makes
it
easier
to
get
to
work.
It
makes
it
increase
economic
development,
just
as
the
previous
speakers
were,
or
endorsing
so
I
think.
That's
the
best
plan
to
go
around
I
also
believe
it's
the
best
plan
that
we
advise
the
province
that
operations
and
maintenance
to
stay
within
the
City
of
Toronto,
because
we
have
the
best
track
record
for
it
right.
E
We
look
at
the
track
record
of
previous
example.
Take,
for
example,
Bombardier.
The
issues
were
hard
right
now
at
streetcar,
and
you
have
the
title
to
crosstown
report
came
out
last
week.
You
know
starter
on
toast,
I
believe
saying
that
on
a
35
kilometer,
don't
hitting
seven
and
a
half.
This
is
a
brand
new
vehicle
on
the
flip
side
of
that
are
older
vehicles,
which
we
call
the
seal.
E
Rvs
are
averaging
four
and
a
half
miles
per
breakdown,
so
we
have
a
gap
here
where
we
have
a
brand
new
vehicle,
barely
perform
better
an
ageing
fleet.
That's
about
to
hit
40
years
old,
so
he's
the
question
I
would
ask
is:
would
you
want
something
like
this
applied
knowing
for
a
street
car
fleet
Eglinton
crosstown?
But
would
you
apply
that
same
method
statement
in
East,
LRT,
where's,
the
consistency
of
standards,
so
the
recommendation
I
would
say
is
for
a
CEO
trying
to
keep
the
work
with
us
because
we
have
the
better
track
record.
A
A
H
Members
of
the
council
and
merit
orient
city
staff.
My
name
is
Siddharth,
honest
Rita's,
president
of
the
Scarborough
community,
new
organization,
an
organization
committed
to
creating
and
realizing
bold
visions
to
renew
Scarborough
today,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
egg
Luton
East
LRT
to
Melbourne.
After
reviewing
the
staff
report
on
Toronto's
transit
expansion
programme,
we
are
supportive
and
pleased
with
the
city's
commitment
to
investing
in
Scarborough
transit
to
the
extension
of
the
egg
leasing,
Eglinton
East
LRT
to
Scarborough
town
centre
and
the
University
of
Toronto
Scarborough
campus.
H
However,
the
lack
of
funding
and
phasing
of
the
remaining
portion
of
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
to
Malvern
centre
is
concerning
for
the
past
40
years.
Scarborough
has
been
and
continues
to
be
greatly
underserved
when
it
comes
to
transit.
Better
transit
is
essential
to
the
marginalized
precarious
workers
living
in
eastern
Scarborough
and
especially
in
Melbourne,
who
have
unreasonably
long
commute
times
to
jobs
in
the
inner
city.
H
Improved
public
transit
is
a
catalyst
to
economic
development
as
we're
starting
to
see
in
gold
in
mind.
Previous
administrations
have
promised
to
build
higher
order,
transit
in
Scarborough
back
in
2010,
but
that
was
never
delivered.
I
do
want
to
recognize
the
work
planning
and
the
consultant
consultations
that
have
taken
place
to
date,
but
the
phasing
of
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
extensions
shows
a
lack
of
commitment
both
from
the
council
and
staff.
We
have
seen
what
happens
to
Scarborough
transit
projects
when
they
get
phased,
they
often
don't
get
built
or
they
get
left
out.
H
If
the
motion
passes,
as
is
it'll
be
decades
before
LRT,
the
BC
and
LRT
east
of
Kennedy
station
their
force
go
ask
that
you
move
forward
with
the
approval
for
funding
for
the
eglantine
East
LRT
up
to
and
including
Malvern
without
any
phasing
of
the
project.
These
trans
investments
are
critical
in
improving
the
lives
of
residents
of
Scarborough,
connecting
us
to
communities
within
Scarborough
and
to
the
rest
of
the
city.
A
M
Thanks
for
coming
in
this
morning,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
so
right
now
the
report
says
the
angling
to
needs
to
LRT
we're
going
to
one
phase:
two
U
of
T
Scarborough
second
phase
to
Malvern.
Both
of
them
are
unfunded
and
fully
do
it.
In
one
phase,
we've
changed
the
scope
or
make
them
more
complicated,
we're,
depending
on
the
the
Sheppard
LRT
to
be
built,
which
is
even
lower
in
priority
than
the
first
phase.
M
H
I'm
I
know
there
is
members
of
the
University
of
Toronto
campus
here
today
to
speak
on
their
experiences,
but
as
a
previous
student
I
do
think
waiting
a
little
bit
longer
with
the
strong
commitment
that
there
will
be
one
to
Scarborough,
campus
and
Malvern
and
one
go.
There
are
a
significant
number
of
students
coming
from
Malvern
who
would
benefit
from
higher
transit
like
an
LRT
connecting
to
the
campus
if
it's
at
Melbourne
town
centre
as
well,
okay,.
M
H
A
A
O
O
Now
we're
looking
at
the
same
plan
today,
so
this
was
in
1969
and
there's
a
copy
on
the
archives.
I
have
a
copy
of
that
in
1980,
the
Kennedy
station
was
built
and
then
the
RT
and
1985
the
plans
for
subways
and
authorities
have
not
been
funded
to
this
date.
In
2009,
a
plan
was
brought
forward
and
not
funded
with
a
new
upgraded
plan
that
we
have
before
us
today.
2019
is
pretty
well
the
same
plan.
It's
an
upgraded
plan,
but
the
same
plan
that
I
have
in
my
folder
right
here
from
2009.
O
It
is
an
investment
for
Toronto
and
skirble
easy.
This
project
will
indentify
planning
priorities
along
this
transit
quarter.
This
plan
would
advance
public
spaces
streetscape
and
focus
areas.
This
network
would
be
good
for
redevelopment
opportunities
as
well
as
social
and
economic
development.
The
Eglinton
East
LRT
would
bring
a
much
needed
transit
network
to
Scarborough
and
July
2016
item
IX
16.1
was
passed
and
directed
staff
to
identify
the
alignment
and
next
steps
for
an
extension
to
Malvern.
O
This
is
still
in
the
works
in
2016
he
Eglinton,
East
LRT
was
revived
from
the
Crosstown
East
and
2017
was
changed
to
the
Eglinton
Authority,
with
completion
date
of
2023.
An
announcement
was
made
my
John
Torrio
in
May
of
2018
promising
residents
in
Scarborough
that
the
project
will
move
ahead.
Sooner
than
later
before,
the
election
in
2018
information
on
funding
was
changed
from
the
current
plan
and
the
cost
was
upgraded
with
the
recent
announcements.
A
P
A
Right
and
we'll
give
you
some
a
little
bit
of
leeway
on
that
so
because
you're
actually,
theoretically
entitled
to
more
than
the
three
minutes
between
the
two.
So
you
can
go
ahead
and
if
you
use
less
to
be
a
bonus
Commendation
coming
from
that
pick,
you're
most
welcome
both
of
you
and
please
go
ahead.
Sounds.
P
H
Name
is
Hannah
Sian
and
I
am
a
student
studying
neuroscience,
and
psychology
and
I
currently
serve
as
a
vice
president
external
at
the
SVSU.
During
my
term,
we've
collaborated
with
a
number
of
transit
advocacy
organizations,
the
TTC
TTC
stakeholders
and
ensuring
that
there
are
enough
student
and
public
consultations,
including
an
upcoming
Transit
Town
Hall
that
we'll
be
posting.
H
P
We
are
here
on
behalf
of
the
14,000
undergraduate
students
at
the
University
of
Toronto
Scarborough
campus.
We
are
also
joined
here
today
by
a
number
of
students
from
our
campus
to
urge
members
of
the
executive
committee
to
prioritize
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
which
we
will
hear
forward
say
as
the
EE
LRT
the.
H
Majority
of
students,
myself
included
at
UTSC
depend
on
public
transit
and,
more
specifically,
the
TTC
to
get
to
and
from
home
work
and
school.
We
are
deeply
concerned
that
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
is
being
put
at
risk
by
the
provinces
plan
to
take
over
our
city's
transit
system.
We
urge
the
mayor
and
the
Executive
Committee
to
defend
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
and
to
ensure
that
it
reaches
UTSC
and
Malvern.
P
It
is
clear
that
only
the
subway
extension
is
being
named
as
a
priority.
We
are
here
to
emphasize
that
our
members,
more
than
just
a
connection
to
the
downtown
core,
as
over
22%
of
all
scarborough
riders
use
transit
exclusively
to
move
within
scarborough.
It
is
essential
that
our
city
prioritizes
these
riders
through
the
ee
LRT
and
provide
them
with
the
transit
and
access
that
they
deserve.
So.
H
Students
at
UTSC
have
continued
to
be
a
valuable
partner
for
the
Toronto
City
Council,
when
the
body
needed
to
support
to
fund
the
Pan
Am
Sports
Center,
you
came
to
students
and
we
covered
the
balance
during
those
negotiations.
We
were
promised
that
this
would
that
this
new
center
would
pave
the
way
for
enhanced
transit
infrastructure,
and
so
we
agreed
to
chip
in
and
support
with
money
out
of
our
own
pockets,
which,
as
you
know,
is
lacking
now
that
we
are
asking
you
to
uphold
your
end
of
the
bargain
and
to
support
our
community.
H
P
Us
the
e
LRT
is
fundamentally
a
conversation
about
safety
and
access.
Despite
what
was
said
earlier
in
the
previous
presentation,
this
expansion
project
would
help
connect
students
and
community
members
to
safer
and
more
affordable
housing
options.
Currently,
the
lack
of
transit
connections
forces
many
of
our
student
members,
especially
international
students,
into
unregular,
unregulated
rooming
houses,
where
their
safety
is
at
risk.
Students
from
marginalized
communities,
including
women,
Muslim
folks,
queer
and
trans
students
have
reported
fearing
for
their
safety
on
the
commutes
home.
P
H
Eglinton
East
LRT
is
also
means
to
ensure
better
access
to
education.
Studies
have
shown
a
direct
correlation
between
the
time
that
students
spend
commuting
on
transit
and
their
success
in
post-secondary
education.
When
students
don't
have
adequate
access
to
reliable
transit,
it
impacts
our
academic
success
and
our
ability
to
engage
in
extracurricular
activities.
Investing
in
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
would
be
an
investment
in
education
and
success
for
the
next
generation.
P
H
Threats
to
interfere
on
transit
matters
from
the
provincial
government.
We
need
you
to
become
advocates
for
Scarborough
communities
and
demand
that
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
and
its
full-form
be
creative.
Creative.
This
project
is
long
overdue
and
it
is
crucial
that
Scarborough
community
members
receive
the
respect
and
the
consideration
they
deserve
through
the
full
Agron
tonight's
LRT
expansion
from
Kennedy
to
Malfoy.
M
Sorry
good
morning,
ladies
thank
you
for
coming
in
this
morning.
I
just
wanted.
So
what
we
have
before
us
today
is
a
report
so
phase
one,
the
LRT
to
U
of
T
Scarborough,
which
I
fully
support
the
next
next
part
is
phasing
it
to
Malvern,
which
I
also
fully
support,
because
I
think
it
should
being
integrated
all
the
way
to
Malvern.
The
difficulty
we
have
is
money,
we're
still
looking
for
money
for
the
first
phase,
let
alone
the
second
phase.
M
H
We've
done
a
lot
of
costume
consultations
and
research
around
this
as
well.
Currently,
we
do
have
the
905
bus
that
travels
from
UTSC
to
Kennedy
station.
That
was
formerly
the
198
bus.
However,
it
was
improved,
but
we're
seeing
that
there
still
is
a
lack
of
services
and
it's
not
as
fast
and
efficient
as
we
would
like
it
to
be,
and
so
something
like
the
Edmonton
East
LRT
would
significantly
improve
that.
P
We
think
it's
essential
that
this
does
go
to
Melbourne.
We
as
Hanna,
was
saying,
if
we're
able
to
find
the
connection
and
improve
the
Express
bus
that
we
currently
have
on
route
to
Kennedy
that'll
be
sufficient
for
UTSC
in
the
short
term
and
it's
very
essential
that
we
connect
all
the
way
to
Melbourne,
because
otherwise
we'll
be
excluding
a
huge
portion
of
Scarborough,
recognising,
as
we
said
as
well,
for
our
students,
it's
access
to
affordable
housing
and
to
work
within
the
scrubber
community.
P
Utc
is
one
of
the
largest
meeting
schools
and
our
students
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
them,
have
access
for
folks
who
already
live
in
Melbourne.
That
will
be
commuting
to
you
to
see,
as
we
will
have
students
speaking
a
little
later
today,
as
well
on
their
experiences
in
terms
of
how
long
transit
actually
takes
within
Scarborough
as
it
stands.
So
our
priority
is
not
only
getting
folks
to
the
downtown
through
access
to
Kennedy
from
UTS
C.
It
is
actually
connecting
all
of
Scarborough,
which
would
include
Melbourne
in
this
long-term
expansion
project.
Okay,.
P
It's
been
expressed
on
multiple
accounts
from
students
in
consultation
that
the
Express
bus
should
be
just
at
major
intersection,
stopping
at
Centennial
school
as
well,
in
order
to
include
them
on
the
route.
But
as
it
stands,
there
is,
if
you
take
it,
it
takes
at
least
35
minutes,
I
think
40
minutes
to
get
to
Kennedy
station
using
the
bus
really.
P
A
Other
questions,
I
just
will
ask
you
a
couple
just
following
up
on
what
the
councillor
means
he
was
just
asking
about.
An
I
too
will
come
and
have
a
look,
but
what
about
capacity
on
that
bus
I
mean
I,
hear
it
loud
and
clear
that
it's
taking
too
long,
because
there
are
too
many
stops.
What
about
capacity
I
mean
meaning?
Is
it
full?
Is
it
half
full?
Is
it.
P
Most
times,
if
you're
taking
it
from
Kennedy
to
get
to
school,
especially
at
the
Kennedy
loading
station,
you
have
to
wait
usually
at
least
one
bus
before
you
can
get
on.
If
you're,
not
there
waiting
at
least
10
minutes
in
advance,
so
it's
highly
highly
over
capacitated
on
route,
especially
during
rush
hour
time.
It's
the
largest
area
of
concern,
but
definitely
okay,.
A
I
should
know
the
answer,
this
question
I,
just
don't,
is
it
do
it
because
it's
an
Express
bus.
We
have
different
categorizations
of
Express
ones.
Do
you
have
to
pay
an
extra
fare
for
it
or
is
it
regular
fare?
It's
all
concluded
in
your
fare?
Okay,
so
you
don't
have
to
that's.
Okay.
Well,
that's
helpful
to
know
and
I'll
follow
up
with
the
counselor
McElveen
councillor
Ainsley
and
we'll
see
about
that
because
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
have
for
the
present
time
and
whatever
route
we
choose
to
build
and
I.
A
P
H
And
members
of
the
Executive
Committee,
my
name
is
Kendall
Imran
and
I'm,
a
student
at
the
University
of
Toronto
Scarborough,
studying
city
studies,
public
policy
and
critical
migration
studies.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
as
well
as
a
need
for
enhanced
bus
routes
in
Scarborough,
especially
connecting
to
Markham,
which
is
where
I
reside.
I
have
three
main
concerns.
H
Some
background
on
me:
I
don't
have
a
car
or
a
driver's
license,
so
I
rely
on
the
TTC
to
get
to
UTSC
where
I
both
study
and
work
a
job
on
campus
I
live
only
12
kilometers
away
from
campus,
so
driving
would
take
me,
maybe
20
minutes
or
less,
but
the
TTC
takes
one
whole
hour.
I
take
the
102,
D
Markham
Road
bus
south
to
Ellesmere
then
take
either
the
95
or
the
38
route.
H
East
UTSC
I
chose
the
campus
closest
to
my
home,
but
I
still
can't
get
there
because
of
how
inadequate
the
transit
infrastructure
in
Scarborough
is.
The
fact
that
it
takes
me
so
long
to
get
where
I
need
to
go
is
impacting
my
success
as
a
student
and
my
ability
to
engage
fully
in
academic
life.
For
me,
Transit
is
the
main
reason
that
makes
me
late
or
even
miss
my
classes.
The
102
D
bus
only
comes
every
30
to
40
minutes,
which
means
being
a
couple
minutes
late
or
early
to
that.
Bus.
H
Stop
is
a
matter
of
getting
to
class
or
not
getting
to.
Class
transit
also
determines
what
classes
I
can
take,
depending
on
the
times
they're
offered
if
they're
too
early
or
too
late
at
night.
It
makes
my
journey
that
much
more
difficult,
I
have
faced
gendered
Islamophobia
when
standing
at
bus
stops
for
prolonged
periods
of
time
at
night,
because
the
bus
just
wouldn't
come,
and
after
spending
entire
days
on
campus,
the
ride
home
tires
me
out
so
much
that
it
has
led
to
burnout.
H
I
say
all
this:
to
emphasize
that
simply
living
three
kilometers
north
of
Steele
should
not
mean
that
I
have
such
a
limited
access
to
transit.
The
Greater
Toronto
Area
should
be
what
it
says
in
the
name
connected
across
municipal
lines,
through
collaboration
in
City
Planning
with
neighboring
municipalities,
Eglinton
East
LRT,
in
conjunction
with
the
Sheppard
East
LRT,
would
help
me
get
to
campus
much
faster
with
an
LRT
network.
H
It
would
free
up
more
buses
to
put
into
a
frequent
and
enhanced
bus
network
and
being
able
to
take
an
express
bus
or
BRT
from
my
home
to
mark
and
Ron
Sheppard
hopping
on
to
the
Sheppard
LRT
that
connects
to
the
Eglinton
LRT
east
allergy
would
completely
change
my
commute.
It
would
also
help
me
and
my
mom
who
works
with
home
child,
cares
in
Malvern
and
Scarborough
Southwest
to
easily
get
around
within
Scarborough.
H
In
conclusion,
the
city
needs
to
create
a
rapid
transit
network
in
Scarborough
I'm,
asking
for
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
and
shepherdess
LRT,
to
be
built
as
the
foundations
of
an
integrated
network
of
Rapid,
Transit
and
Scarborough,
with
connections
to
enhance
bus
routes
into
Markham
and
Pickering
I.
Believe
that
this
will
help
transit
riders
in
Scarborough
and
those
who
reside
on
the
border
lines
of
neighboring
municipalities.
People
like
me,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
Thank.
A
H
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
deputation
and
I'm.
Sorry.
Those
those
lines
should
both
be
well
under
construction
and
nearing
completion.
I'm
sorry
for
the
past,
but
but
I'm
interested
because
you
you
bring
into
focus
the
the
Sheppard
LRT
and
that
one
has
a
a
weird
future
because
at
work
upon
its
cancellation,
it
reverted
over
to
Metrolink.
So
I'm
wondering
have
you
considered
having
any
conversation
about
the
the
really
the
whole
LRT
network?
O
H
Have
you
considered
talking
to
your
MPP
yeah?
Well,
I
did
get
to
talk
to
the
NPP
of
the
UTSC
riding,
which
is
right.
Mp
pvj,
but
I
do
I,
want
to
go
and
talk
to
MPP
Logan.
Who
is
my
right
right
right?
Do
you
do
you
know
what
they
is
it
discussed
amongst
north
of
north
of
Steel's,
I
I'm
not
aware
are
the
MPP
is
actually
discussing
how
the
network
immediately
south
in
Scarborough
would
serve
their
residents
because
you're
a
perfect
example.
H
Of
course
our
students
are
coming
from
all
over
well
I'm,
not
sure,
like
I
haven't
seen
those
conversations
happening.
Of
course,
we've
seen
conversations
about
smart
track
connecting
to
Unionville
but
yeah
that
East
sort
of
southeast
portion
of
Markham
really
just
gets
neglected
in
a
lot
of
ways,
and
it
actually
is
has
pockets
of
poverty
and
it's
probably
the
priority
neighborhood
of
Markham.
So
yes,
yes,
well
we'll
try
to
help
with
those
conversations
in
any
way.
We
can
thank.
E
A
P
Good
morning
merit
oriented
committee,
my
name
is
Hannah
Carson
and
I'm:
a
graduating
city
studies,
student
at
the
University
of
Toronto
Scarborough
I'm,
also
an
active
community
member
with
knowledge
and
interests
on
urban
transportation
systems,
I'm
speaking
today
to
support
the
prioritization
of
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
scrubber
extension
to
UTS,
C
and
Melbourne.
As
you
already
know,
and
have
heard
today.
There
are
many
positive
aspects
to
building
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
but
today,
I'll
be
focusing
on
one
aspect.
P
That
is
how
the
Scarborough
extension
will
positively
affect
students,
quality
of
education
based
on
mine
and
my
colleagues
experiences.
Many
students
do
not
go
to
class
because
their
commune
is
very
long
or
complicated,
which
ultimately
affects
their
grades.
Attendance
and
overall
attendance
at
school,
for
example,
I
used
to
live
20
minutes
away
from
school,
taking
the
bus
and
enjoyed
visiting
campus,
often
to
attend
and
plan
events,
be
with
friends
and,
most
importantly,
attend
my
classes.
P
However,
last
September
I
moved
further
away
from
campus,
and
now
it
takes
me
at
least
an
hour
and
a
half
to
get
to
school.
Since
this
change,
I
found
myself
less
motivated
to
go
to
school
and
ended
up
missing
a
lot
of
classes.
I
can
honestly
say
that
the
quality
of
my
education
this
past
year,
has
been
significantly
lower
than
the
first
three
years
at
UTSC.
P
He
explains
that
many
students
choose
courses
in
a
way
to
reduce
the
number
of
days
they
need
to
come
to
campus,
which
means
they
may
be
missing
out
on
courses
that
they
are
truly
interested
in
which
ultimately
affects
educational
outcomes.
He,
too
pushes
the
fact
that
improving
quality
of
life
should
be
a
major
goal
for
transit
and
Scarborough.
We
can
definitely
do
this
for
through
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
Scarborough
extension
by
making
Scarborough
more
accessible
education
is
a
stepping
stone
to
success.
P
So,
let's
leap,
prosperous
features
through
efficient
transit
in
Scarborough
I
hope
that
council
will
consider
how
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
scrubber
extension
will
increase
the
quality
of
education
for
thousands
of
students
in
Scarborough.
When
deciding
on
a
vote.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
in
front
of
you
and
I
look
forward
to
observing
your
votes
in
the
future.
Thank.
H
I'm
wondering
because
I
know
you've
been
here
for
the
morning.
If,
if
hearing
the
other
deputy
to
have
any
comments
number
the
deputations
we've
had
work
where
we're
talking
about
Scarborough
of
T
campus
well
they're.
Looking
for
that
focus
on
the
extension
there,
they
seem
to
to
also
be
understanding
that,
in
terms
in
terms
of
making
a
network
of
transit
through
through
Scarborough,
it
means
an
LRT
network
and
and
so
they're
proposing
such
things
as
the
Scarborough
subway
should
have
perhaps
been
an
LRT.
That
Sheppard
should
continue
as
an
LRT.
H
P
I
definitely
think
we
need
to
look
at
all
their
projects
together
and
focus
on
having
connectivity
within
the
city
as
it
was
earlier.
Deputies
were
talking
about
how
most
people
in
scriber
travel
within
Scarborough,
so
I'd
like
to
have
that
connectivity
between
all
the
transit
routes,
not
just
the
are
going
to
right.
A
Q
For
me,
as
a
newcomer
to
Canada
who
lives
on
Eglinton
Avenue
East
for
the
past
three
years,
I
have
relied
on
the
Toronto
Transit
Commission
TTC
to
commute
to
UTS,
see
the
Eglinton
Avenue
bus
number
34
is
non
reliable
as
it
never
comes
out
of
schedule
times.
Furthermore,
the
Scarborough
Express
network
bus
905
is
the
bus
that
runs
every
eight
minutes
from
Kennedy
to
UTSC
during
peak
rush
hours,
the
905
bus
is
not
able
to
serve
students
like
me
to
quickly
commute
to
a
UTSC.
Q
My
commute
to
campus
takes
me
40
to
45
minutes,
while
the
Eglinton
Eastland
rail
transit
can
cut
this
time
in
half
now,
you're,
probably
asking
okay,
then
just
enrolling
classes
that
are
not
during
rush
hour.
Well,
there
are
certain
classes
that
are
only
offered
during
specific
times,
and
my
dependence
on
the
TTC
affects
me
to
enroll
myself
in
classes
to
try
and
avoid
rush
hours
as
much
as
possible.
Q
This
leaves
me
in
a
situation
where,
instead
of
TTC
creating
an
environment
where
my
education
experience
can
thrive,
it
acts
as
a
barrier
for
me
by
making
me
enroll
in
classes
not
based
on
content,
but
when
they
are
offered.
This
is
important,
because
UTSC
has
currently
14,000
students
who
are
mostly
commuters
to
campus.
Therefore,
the
City
of
Toronto
needs
to
cater
to
the
growing
transportation
needs
of
the
Scarborough
community
and
because
youth
are
the
future
of
our
city,
we
need
to
make
their
education
experience
as
effective
and
enjoyable
as
possible.
Q
This
will
help
transit
riders
in
Scarborough
not
to
depend
on
one
bus,
such
as
the
905
Express
bus,
to
commute
to
Scarborough,
but
have
a
faster
transportation
means
such
as
the
Eglinton,
our
tea.
That
will
enhance
the
commuting
experience
of
Scarborough
Transit
riders.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
that
allowed
me
to
speak
today
about
the
accountant,
East,
LRT
and
I.
Welcome
any
questions.
Regarding
my
communing
experience
for
the
past
three
years
to
and
from
campus
and
have
a
great
day,
everyone
thank.
A
J
J
Q
You
very
good
question,
thank
you
for
asking
actually
so
the
905
bus
used
to
be
called
in
198
bus
and
he
used
to
run
every
ten
minutes.
However,
the
efforts
of
the
Scarborough
campus
Students
Union
in
lobbying,
the
TTC,
has
made
the
ten
minutes
to
eight
minutes.
That's
right!
Yes,
we
have
been
speaking
about
this
issue
with
our
vice
president,
external
and
president
of
our
Scarborough
campus
Students
Union
for
them
to
effectively
lobby
the
TTC,
and
thus
we
have
seen
like,
instead
of
a
ten
minutes,
elimination
of
that
ten
minutes
to
eight
minutes.
J
Now
and
I
get
that
and
I
understand
your
explanation,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
is
that
in
the
interest
of
time,
because
the
LRT
is
not
gonna
happen
for
quite
some
time,
irrespective
of
what
we
do
here
today,
I'm
just
wondering
in
terms
of
looking
to
facilitate,
perhaps
more
additional
equipment
to
be
online
to
provide
the
service.
So
whether
or
now
it's
it's
eight
minutes,
but
also
it
is
a
busy
bus.
That's
normally
full
I
think
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
hearing
you're
saying.
Yes,.
Q
J
Q
If
you
mean
that
tell
the
time
that
the
England's
Andes
LRT
will
be
built,
yes,
we
do
need
to
make
the
bus
more
accessible
and
more
frequent
right
serve
more
students,
because
the
905
does
not
only
serve
students,
it
serves
sky
providers
who
also
commute
to
East
carbo.
That's
why?
Yes,
I
do
think
that
till
the
time
period
that
we
get
the
SRT
to
be
in
place,
we
need
to
have
conversations
regarding
what
we
can
do
to
make
the
service
faster
right.
A
R
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Lucas
Granger
and
I
am
a
student
at
the
University
of
Toronto,
st.
George
and
I.
Am
the
incoming
vice
president
external
for
the
University
of
France
Students
Union.
As
of
May,
1st
I
am
a
longtime
resident
of
Melbourne
I
love,
my
community
deeply
and
I
care
about
being
involved
in
the
city
that
we
all
know
and
love,
as
I
was
growing
up.
I
had
a
lot
of
people
surrounding
me
who,
who
said
post
amalgamation.
That
Scarborough
was
forgotten
that
we
have
been
neglected
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
R
With
every
issue
you
can
think
of
I,
never
understood
until
I
moved
downtown
I
find
it
hard
to
get
home.
I
find
it
hard
to
visit.
My
family
I
find
it
hard
to
work
and
live
and
study
and
manage
my
personal
life
due
to
the
fact
that
it
takes
me
from
campus
over
an
hour
to
get
home
to
Scarborough.
It
takes
me
less
time
to
get
to
Ottawa
the
Eglinton
east
light.
R
Rail
transit
project
needs
to
be
a
priority
for
this
city,
because
every
day
and
every
year
and
every
minute
we
delay
it's
another
minute
that
we
do
not
have
access
to
the
entire
diversity
and
the
inaccessibility
of
Scarborough
to
the
rest
of
the
city.
Our
communities
are
vibrant,
our
businesses
are
successful
and
our
educational
facilities
are
some
of
the
best
in
the
world.
R
That
is
another
conversation.
We
need
an
entire
network
to
complete
to
be
completed
in
order
to
fully
be
part
of
the
city
and
the
engineer's
project
is
a
crucial
and
necessary
step
towards
this.
This
project,
as
stated
in
appendix
four,
is
expected
to
bring
close
to
50,000
people
within
walking
distance,
walking,
distance
of
reliable
Rapid
Transit.
These
communities
need
service.
They
have
been
forgotten
for
far
far
too
long,
and
these
projections
will
only
grow
with
time
as
Scarborough
develops
further.
R
Additionally,
as
a
student,
downtown
I
know
how
difficult
it
is
for
us
to
travel
back
and
forth.
As
my
colleagues
from
the
SCS
you
have
mentioned,
they
experienced
their
own
issues
committing
and
discovering
themselves.
However,
a
conversation
that
needs
to
be
had
is
that
students
in
general
also
commute
between
the
campuses.
R
So
we
have
a
dedicated
shuttle
that
brings
us
to
the
University
from
Mississauga,
but
because
Scarborough
is
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
we
are
expected
to
use
the
T
to
see
which
experience,
frequent
delays
and
frequent
service
interruptions,
and
we
are
expected
to
be
in
class
within
an
hour,
sometimes
that's
impossible.
If
anyone
actually
commutes
here
so
I
will
leave
you
with
that,
I
don't
want
to
see
our
community
suffer
from
indecision
and
concentrating
of
plans.
You
have
to
remember
that
we
need
this
to
above
the
401.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
R
K
K
R
I
think
the
reliability
aspect
is
is
really
crucial
because
at
least
with
the
LRT
we
know
would
have
a
dedicated
right
away.
We
know
that
it
would
have
dedicated
service
and
I
think
that
if
the
city
wants
to
proceed
further
with
any
discussions
on
this,
they
should
have
a
dedicated
taskforce
meeting
with
the
SCSU
and
the
UTS
you
to
discuss
student
issues
on
this
project,
because
it's
not
just
residents
of
Melbourne
and
the
rest
of
Scarborough
its
students
from
across
the
city
across
the
across
the
GTA
and.
K
A
Council
Mikkel
McKelvey
any
other
questions
all
right.
Well,
mr.
Granger
will
thank
you
very
much
for
your
deputation
and
for
being
here
today.
I
believe
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
the
deputations
and
the
people
who
registered
by
10:30,
and
so,
if
that's
so,
we
can
move
to
questions
of
staff
and
ask
our
city
manager
and
his
associates
to
go
back
to
the
table.
Whoever's
gonna
appear
there.
Are
you
going
by
yourself
the
answer
that
is
yes,
you're
going?
It's
not
my
question.
Who
else
you
invite
to
join
you
I.
A
A
K
K
J
The
through
the
chair,
part
of
what
we
are
we
talked
to
them
about,
was
ways
that
we
may
optimize
the
plan.
That
is
not
what
is
recommended
at
this
stage.
We've
acknowledged
in
the
report
that
there
is
some
additional
work
that
needs
to
be
done,
but
that
was
a
concept
that
we
floated
with
them
at
the
end
of
March.
Yes,
and.
K
J
S
L
J
K
J
K
Because
the
other
main
concerns
I
say
they
say
here
are
quote
that
the
proposed
alignment
would
constitute
a
further
taking
of
UTSC
lands
in
impact
development,
potential
adjacent
to
the
Toronto
Pan
Am,
Aquatic,
Center,
so
I
know.
U
of
T
has
a
really
extensive
plan
for
building
a
conference
center
or
a
hotel,
potentially
Arts
Center,
and
that
would
be
an
ideal
location
beside
the
Pan
Am
Center,
because
that's
where
people
are
going
when
they
visit
that
area
final
question.
B
Through
the
chair
counselor
that
I
think
they're,
referring
to
the
potential
connection
to
the
maintenance
and
storage
facility,
we
did,
we
did
talk
to
them
about
that.
They
had
some
concerns
and
and
indicated
to
them,
we're
certainly
open
to
discussing
with
them
further.
What
waiting
for
their
feedback
on
where
exactly
they,
the
best
place
to
access
the
potential
maintenance
and
storage
facility
would
be.
We
have
thank.
K
B
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'll
direct
my
questions
to
the
city
manager
as
he
sees
fit
on
funding
priorities
so
as
I
understand
it
under
our
Pete.
If
to
funding
outlined
in
here,
the
DRL,
the
Scarborough
subway
smart
track
and
the
young
bluer
fixed
to
address
overcrowding.
Those
are
the
four
requests
for
funding
priorities
through.
B
So
then,
looking
to
the
next
phase,
when
I
look
at
page
five
of
the
status
of
transit
expansion
projects,
what
are
the
next
priorities
as
identified
by
staff
in
order
of
priority
so
I
understand?
Drl,
Scarborough,
one-stop
subway,
smart
track
and
young
blue
are
crowding
of
the
waterfront
East
and
West
LRT,
the
Eglinton
East
and
West
LRT
capacity
issues.
What
are
the
next
priorities
in
order?
So.
C
If
I
can,
through
the
mayor
where
we
have
not
specified
a
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
in
terms
of
that
list
of
projects
that
you
just
mentioned,
so
what
we've
done
here
obviously
is
ensured
that
there's
you
know
the
four
point:
eight
nine
seven
billion,
which
is
the
cap
that
the
federal
government
is
offering
for
transit,
is
fully
utilized
the
remainder
of
projects.
We
are
not
recommending
a
specific
order
to
that.
We
have
not
applied
a
if
you
will
a
socio-economic
justice
lens
to
those
projects
to
determine
which
ones
might
rank
in
that
kind
of
first.
B
Which
are
the
projects
that
could
be,
which
are
the
projects
in
the
running
to
be
in
that
top
tier
list,
because
we're
many
projects
as
I?
Look
at
this
gate
funding
decision
I
see
egg
Lincoln,
East
LRT
Eglinton,
West,
LRT,
Waterfront,
Queens,
Key
East.
So
that's
what
I
see
is
the
next
gate,
so
do
I,
then
surmise
from
that
that
we
will,
in
the
future,
have
to
determine
of
those
three
which
are
which
are
the
priorities
through
the
mayor.
That's.
C
I
Through
the
chair,
we
haven't
done
that
specific
analysis
from
a
ridership
point
of
view
dealing
with
the
capacity
issues
online.
One
is
our
highest
priority
and
of
the
other
projects
there
are
varying
ridership
projections
for
them.
Aghhhhhh
Newton
East
is
very
high
and
waterfront
is
very
high
as
well.
Okay,.
B
C
B
And
then
I
guess
my
second
line
of
questioning
with
my
40
seconds
here,
the
pita
funding
model
that
you
described
at
40
percent
from
the
feds,
a
minimum
33
percent
from
the
province
and
27
percent
from
the
city.
If
the
province
announces
that
they
are
no
longer
interested
in
funding
our
for
what
happens
to
the
federal
dollars,
so
the
four
projects
were
asking
for
peat
tip
to
funding
DRL
scarborough
one-stop
smart
track,
young
Bloor
crowding.
C
The
mayor
I
think
our
first
step.
If
that
were
in
fact
the
case
I
mean
we
would
be
reporting
back.
In
fact,
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity.
As
of
Thursday
we'll
know
what
the
budget
is.
We'll
have
some
clarity
as
to
how
the
federal
government
or
provincial
government
sees
allocating
money.
I
would
I
would
probably
give
you
a
more
fulsome
answer
at
Council
when
this
matter
comes
forward.
B
C
Question
if
I
can,
through
the
chair,
I
mean
I,
think
the
federal
government
is
expecting
the
province
and
the
municipality
to
be
on
the
same
page
in
terms
of
any
off
to
them.
That
is
going
to
be
our
attempt
and
I'd
be
I'm,
not
expecting
that
the
federal
government
is
going
to
totally
accept
what
the
priorities
are
of
the
city
ignore
the
province.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks.
H
My
questions
are
briefed
by
the
scene,
keeps
changing
so
I
probably
will
have
questions
counsel,
but
one
thing
I
did
want
to
know
because
I
think
you
have
your
want
me
to
get
direction
on
the
the
supplementary
item.
1A
that
has
some
confidential
direction
that
it's
asking
for
is
all
of
that
still
timely
and
necessary.
Today,
given
the
ever-changing
plan
of
the
province
with
with
that
item
need
to
be
considered
at
this
juncture,
I.
C
Our
recommendation,
I
think,
is
clear
in
the
report
is
to
continue
moving
forward
with
them.
Notwithstanding
that
we
know
we're
going
to
hear
an
announcement
in
a
couple
of
days,
so
I
don't
think
what
we're
doing
is
premature,
we'll
see
what
the
province
has
to
offer
will
commented
on
at
Council
and
in
seek
further
direction.
There.
H
J
Looking
at
the
priority
project
piece,
the
one
place
where
you
actually
give
us
advice,
other
than
counsel
decided
something
before
is
highlighting
the
DRL
and
the
and
the
bluer
young
station
work
as
an
urgent
priority,
because
we
don't
do
that.
The
rest
of
the
network
falls
apart.
So
I
understood
that
correctly
through.
C
The
chair,
I,
probably
wouldn't
characterize
it
exactly
like
that.
I
would
characterize
it
as
we
have
a
congestion
problem.
That's
present
today,
which
translates
into
health
and
safety
issues
and
from
a
transportation
standpoint.
Generally
speaking,
that's
what
you
try
to
address.
First
before
you
expand
the
network,
but.
J
J
For
why
I
don't
know
the
Eglinton
East
is
more
important
than
waterfront
West
or
Scarborough
Subway's,
more
important
and
Eglinton
West
like
I,
see
no
transportation
or
land-use
planning
or
financial
impact
or
ridership
per
dollar
rationale,
for
why
any
of
those
seven
projects
should
be
advanced
over
the
other
mic.
Reading
that.
C
Correctly,
so
if
I
can,
through
the
chair,
I,
think
and
actually
in
your
opening
comment
before
the
question
to
me,
you
had
made
the
you
know
the
remark
about
counsel's
previous
commitments,
so
I
think
implicitly,
maybe
explicitly
the
reason
why
you
see
the
other
two
projects
favored
within
the
PTF
funding
is
because
council
has
improved
its
decisions
and
I
think
it's
outlined
well
on
page
8
of
30.
It
indicates
that
you
know
660
million
previous
approved
by
council
in
October.
22
2013
would
be
allocated
to
line
2,
East
extension
and
then
taking.
J
J
C
J
The
process
we
have
for
making
decisions
about
transit
projects
is
the
stage-gate
process
and
we
set
that
up.
So
we
didn't
make
a
decision
with
limited
information
that
led
to
us
being
trapped
into
building
something
that
later
on,
we
found
out
was
technically
impossible
or
too
costly
or
whatever
I.
A
H
C
So
if
I
can,
through
the
chair,
I'll
start
and
then
Gary
will
I'm
sure
clarify
what
I'm
saying
so
so
I
I
don't
know
if
I'd
characterize
it
as
escalating
and
ballooning
costs,
I
think
there's,
as
we
just
comment
on,
there's
a
state
stage-gate
process.
So
it
helps
us
to
refine
costs
based
on
more
exact,
more
detailed
information,
so
I
think
Gary
can
probably
land
this
answer
it
even
more
clearly
than
I
just
provided
the.
T
Costs
were
put
forward
on
Scarborough
is
based
on
a
30%
designed
move.
Actually
you
the
East
recommendations
for
fitting
the
estimate
together.
So
we'll
put
the
base
cost
together.
We've
done,
we've
looked
at
both
risk
on
both
project
risk
and
the
schedule
risk
and
we've
pulled
that
together.
That
was
done.
Internally.
We've
actually
been
okay,
an
external
commercial,
commercial
consultancy
of
international
reputation.
They
have
verified
our
estimate
as
a
reasonable
estimate
for
those
projects.
So
we
believe
at
this
point
in
time
we
have
a
very
robust
estimate.
I'm
shared
you
for
the
scarborough
line
and.
H
T
T
Can't
promise
you
that,
because
there's
those
influences
it
so
with
our
control,
because
if
you
actually
look
at
the
market
just
know
the
market,
when
we
go
to
the
market
with
the
tender,
they
will
come
back
and
you
hopefully
verified
those
cause
we
about.
For
some
reason
the
market
can
accommodate
in
the
project
is
out
there
further
shared
your
risk
analysis.
You
have
to
out
to
lose
costs
and.
H
So,
and
so
with
respect
to
thank
you
with
respect
to
luring
young
capacity
and
the
conversation
of
with
the
province
about
possibly
extending
at
north
as
opposed
to
addressing
what's
happening,
is
for
a
downstream.
Are
there
any
indications
from
the
province
about
how
they're
going
to
accommodate
additional
ridership
coming
from
up
north?
If
we
don't
deal
with
the
blurry
young
congestion,
final.
C
Question,
certainly
that's
our
through
the
through
the
chair,
I
mean
that's,
that's
been
some
of
the
conversation
at
the
table.
I
mean
we're.
We
believe
that
the
first
principles
we
need
to
be
addressing
or
the
capacity
shortfall
that
we
have
right
now
before
any
other
additional
traffic,
is
added
to
the
system
so
but
again,
I
think
we'll.
We
know
from
their
letter
that
they're
interested
in
the
four
projects
they
identified,
we'll
see
I
guess
on
Thursday,
exactly
where
all
that
stands
in
some,
hopefully
some
more
detail.
Thank
you
exit.
T
Thank
you
very
much
and
my
apologies
that
I
haven't
been
here
for
the
presentation
I've
been
watching
when
I
could
on
the
closed-circuit.
Could
we
talk
about
the
the
costed
number
for
the
Scarborough
subway
extension?
Does
that
include
the
construction
and
financing
cost?
This
came
up
in
the
debate
years
ago
now,
I'm
just
I'm
just
wondering.
T
Are
we
talking
at
all
in
number
or
are
there
other
other
pieces
we
haven't
added
yet
through
the
mirror,
lots
and
a
lot
number
previously,
there
was
a
potential
in
March
2017,
the
council
directors,
to
do
what,
with
IO,
to
do
a
DBF
design,
build
finance.
We
couldn't
engage
I
obtained
at
that
time.
Well,
that
was
a
financier
element.
We're
actually
doing
a
design
bidding
bill.
Just
no
and
there's
no
finance
costs
associated
with
that,
and
so
that
number
includes
vehicles.
It
includes
maintenance
facilities.
T
So
my
understanding
was,
we
had
actually
anticipated,
requiring
new
maintenance
facilities.
Why
aren't
they
required
anymore?
Not
for
this
project,
but
for
them
for
the
young
street
advancement
of
our
automated
trains
did
that
require
a
new
facility
when
you
actually
are
the
youngster
young
extensional
and
we're
actually
working
just
now.
Looking
at
having
northern
maintenance
facilities
as
part
of
that
project
underline
one
capacity
project.
What
what
about?
What
about
before
the
extension
north?
Are
we
able
to
move
ahead
with
the
young
one
capacity
advancement
without
a
new
storage
facility.
J
T
On
the
Scarborough
subway
extension,
is
it
true
that
you
we're
not
planning
on
going
the
route
of
an
automated
train
control
system
on
the
extension
at
this
point
in
time?
That's
correct,
it
will
be.
The
existing
signalling
system
will
be
used.
What
we've
actually
allowed
for
within
the
estimate
is
enabling
course
to
do
the
eTCO
pleat
when
it
comes
along.
So
why
wouldn't
we
build
it
in
and
kind
of
future
proof
that
that
line?
Is
there
a
reason
why
we
shouldn't
funding
and
how
much?
How
much
would
it
cost?
J
A
S
J
J
S
J
S
J
S
S
T
S
C
S
S
A
S
A
Okay,
yeah
all
right.
Are
there
any
other
members
of
council
that
are
with
us
here
from
not
on
the
executive
committee?
Who
would
like
to
ask
questions
all
right
before
we
move
to
questions
from
the
committee
I'd
like
to
see
if
the
committee
would
concur
in
a
modest
change
in
agenda
for
a
moment,
there's
a
gentleman
who
is
slated
to
depute
on
the
King
Street
matter,
who's,
the
wheel
trans
patron
and
who
has
a
wheel
transporting
to
go
back
and
I
just
thought.
A
It
would
be
appropriate
that
we
would
hear
his
deputation
by
Councillor
Thompson,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.
So
if
you
thank
you
for
excusing
us
for
a
moment,
mr.
I
believe
it's
mr.
Adam
cool.
If
you
can
come
forward
and
we'll
hear
your
deputation
on
King
Street,
so
that
it's
on
the
record.
A
There's
just
a
place,
I
think
mr.
Conover
I
believe
over
there,
where
there's
a
microphone
that'll
be
more
accessible
to
you
and
just
on
the
far
end
of
the
table,
or
if
you
can
get
into
that
one
there.
That's
fine,
but
do
we
just
yes
sure
so
you're
most
welcome
here
and
you're
going
to
depute
on
the
next
item,
which
is
the
King
Street
transit
item.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
O
Fronting
cherry,
so
I
live
down
where
that
new
King
Street
does.
The
include
to
the
distillery,
loop
and
I
am
also
a
member
of
TTC
riders
and
walk
Toronto.
So
I've
been
on
the
steering
committee
of
the
King
Street
pilot
since
the
beginning.
There
are
three
key
things
that
I
want
to
speak
to
you
about
quickly
today.
So
first
of
all
is
I'm
in
a
power
wheelchair
for
on
Street
boarding
of
streetcars,
so
rap
is
very
steep.
O
It
is
easy
to
board
the
streetcar
I,
don't
know
where
there
are
high
platforms,
because
those
who
are
slides
around
on
buses
aren't
meant
for
off
street
loading,
so
meant
for
loadings
on
the
high
on
the
sidewalk,
or
are
your
type
platform
and
are
more
like
a
drawbridge,
so
I'm
encouraging
at
at
least
three
or
four
stops
through
pilot
to
their
be.
They
look
at
making
accessible
bump-outs
so
that
I
can
do.
O
Look
at
what
other
initiatives
can
be
used
to
give
pedestrians
priority
because
of
their
getting
off
and
on
the
streetcar
gonna
become
pedestrian.
So
final
thing
very
quickly
is
at
the
corner
of
King
and
Parliament,
because
that
is
the
stop
that
everybody
uses
when
they
realize
they've
gotten
on
the
wrong
504.
O
O
O
A
Cahoon,
thank
you
and
there
may
be
a
question
or
two,
but
I
will
just
tell
you
that
you
have
the
CEO
of
the
TCC
here
and
so
I'm
sure
he
was
paying
close
attention
to
all
the
points
that
you
made
and
will
undertake
to
make
sure
we
get
back
to
you
with
with
respect
to
those
points,
just
because
they're
all
things
that
relate
to
the
well-being
of
the
what
was
called
the
pilot
project
going
forward.
Are
there
questions
of
the
definite
councillor
Cressey
Adams.
B
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I,
just
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
three
points
correctly.
So
your
recommendation
as
part
of
making
it
permanent
is
to
improve
it
with
audible
signaling
as
part
of
the
permanent
installation
of
the
entry
they.
The
streetcar
stops
to
have
ramps
that
are
safer
and
to
look
at
this
safety
related
to
the
King
and
Parliament.
Stop
those
were
the
three
those
as
part
of
making
a
permanent.
We
need
to
make
those
three
pieces
even
better.
O
Demanding
that
we're
definitely
not
any
part
of
the
report
was
that
King
Parliament,
you
guys
really
need
a
look
at
and
I
know
yeah
great
Kristen
yeah.
You
actually
work
with
the
Porsche
dealership
and
actually
see
if
they'd
be
willing
to
give
up
those
give
up
a
parking
spot
or
two
just
to
make
it
a
little
wide.
Other
people
can
sneak
between
the
fans
and
the
bachata
I.
Just
can't
and
that's
all
other
people
are
getting
around
a
little
spot.
Well,
I
can't
do
that
so
I
suffer
when
I
got.
A
O
A
J
Just
wanted
to
make
sure
I'm
really
clear
on
this.
There
has
been
a
number
of
questions
asked
about
the
cost
of
the
Scarborough,
the
blue-haired
and
for
the
expansion
to
Scarborough,
and
the
questions
were
around
whether
or
not
these
were
final
cost
and
I.
Believe
the
answers
were
no
there
or
not.
Is
that
correct.
J
J
T
J
J
T
But
that's
back
in
history,
but
that's
why
you
do
a
class
three
estimate
for
different
purposes:
yeah
it'd
take
the
design
we
have
taken
is
design
to
30%
30%.
You
can't
put
a
robust
estimate
together
and
we're
confident.
The
estimate
that
we
have
put
forward
will
be
mark
will
be
managed
and
made
for
this
project.
Fair.
J
Enough
fine
I
think
this
may
be
just
one
more
questions
more
than
I
can
ask
before
we
get
to
three
minutes,
and
this
is
through
human
spirit
to
the
city
manager.
Mr.
city
manager,
we've
heard
Council
Fletcher
asked
about
questions
regarding
the
letter
from
the
province
as
such
to
you
in
the
group
in
those
letters,
and
then
some
of
the
communications
talk
about
alternative
methods
of
financing
that
they're
looking
at
and
while
I
understand.
You
can't
answer
that
question,
because
it's
not
your
position.
I'm
just
wondering.
C
J
The
tightest
mr.
Manchester
I'm
not
asking
about
their
model
I'm
asking.
Are
there
methods
that
we're
looking
at
in
terms
of
alternative
financial
model
that
we
think
that
perhaps
could
utilize
they're
suggesting
what
they
want
to
do
in
just
one?
Are
there
any
other
alternatives
that
we're
looking
at
as
opposed
to
simply
monies
from
the
tax
base
as
such
and/or
contributions
of
the
provincial
or
federal
government
p3s,
for
example,
I.
C
B
The
speaker
we
before
we
procure
any
project
of
this
magnitude.
We
undertake
a
procurement
options:
analysis
which
includes
things
like
pro
procurements,
such
as
a
design
build
finance,
which
is
typically
the
I/o
model.
We've
done
that,
in
fact,
for
the
Scarborough
subway
extension
and
it's
as
a
result
of
that
review.
The
procurement
option.
That's
before
you
is
a
design-bid-build,
but
we
do
undertake
that
due
diligence
to
look
at
different
financing
options.
A
M
And
through
you
to
Mike
Logan,
that's
been
looking
after
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
consultation
process.
Mr.
Logan,
could
you
explain
to
me
if
I
moved
a
motion
today
to
do
away
with
the
phase
one
and
everything
in
one
one
phase
up
to
Malvern
for
the
Eglinton
East
LRT?
What
would
be
the
biggest
risk?
Would
it
be
the
tie
in
with
the
Shepherd
LRT
through.
B
M
Because
at
this
at
this
point
the
Sheppard
East
LR
tees,
even
though
it's
been
approved
by
council,
that
we
tie
the
two
together
there's
the
my
understanding.
Is
we
don't
know
the
timing
on
the
Sheppard
East
LRT?
It's
I
believe
it's
in
the
reported,
see
them
behind
the
Finch
LRT
for
a
construction.
Correct
through
you,
mr.
mayor
I,
believe
that's
correct,
okay
and
then
some
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
over
the
consultation
Proust
around
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
in
the
first
phase,
the
volumes.
B
You,
mr.
mayor,
we're
not
at
this
point,
recommending
a
bus
service
we're
not
making
any
recommendations
about
buses.
However,
our
travel
demand
modeling
has
has
indicates
that
there
would
be
a
very
strong
ridership
in
the
order
of
seventy
four
hundred
should
should
the
service
be
available
to
people
in
that
corridor?
Okay,.
M
I
M
I
Through
the
chair,
we
have
many
bus
routes
which
are
close
to
being
full.
We
try
very
hard
to
ensure
that
our
ridership
is
kept
on
all
routes
at
or
below
our
our
board
approved
crowding
standards,
also
in
the
future.
As
part
of
the
bus
route
changes
for
a
potential
line,
5
extension
to
UT
Scarborough,
we
are
looking
at
the
potential
of
a
direct
bus
service
along
Sheppard
MN
down
to
the
University.
M
B
B
A
S
It
mentions
that
report
back
to
the
executive
committee
once
Metrolinx
and
the
GPA
have
completed
the
planning
and
then
recommendation
12
is
that
you'll
be
reporting
back
on
the
in
2020
first
quarter,
2020
on
the
traffic
from
transportation
on
the
the
existing
traffic
and
future
traffic.
So
can
you
tell
me:
are
those
2,
11
and
12?
The
timing
of
the
the
two
reports
be
coming
forward
at
the
same
time
through.
J
Through
the
mayor,
the
these
are
different
issues,
so
as
part
of
our
work,
we
did
a
significant
traffic
analysis
in
the
Eglinton
corridor
and
identified
that
there
are
a
number
of
issues
already
at
play.
There
related
to
the
highway
ramps
and
capacity
along
the
401
in
particular,
but
other
issues
too,
that
are
forcing
more
people
to
drive
along
Eglinton
and
causing
some
of
the
traffic
issues.
What
we
want
to
do
is
work
with
transportation
services
and
the
end
MTO
to
look
at
solutions
for
those
traffic
issues,
regardless
of
an
LRT.
S
J
Working
group
was
looking
at
the
community.
Working
group
was
looking
at
options
for
the
LRT,
and
certainly
traffic
considerations
were
a
part
of
that
analysis,
but
this
was
detailed
traffic
analysis
that
we
undertook,
particularly
at
the
Martin
Grove
and
Eglinton
in
intersection
with
with
traffic
engineers,
to
see
what
solutions
there
may
be.
Ok,.
S
J
S
Okay
I'm
question
to
the
city
manager
on
about
smart
tracks,
so
some
of
these
smart
track
stations
and
in
particular
one
asked
about
mine
and
st.
Claire
there's,
there's
there's
opportunities
for
potential
development
in
those
areas
big.
You
know
because
there's
a
lot
of
vacant
land,
so
is
there
a
possibility
to
work
with
some
of
the
in
partnership
with
some
of
the
potential
development?
That's
upcoming
in
the
area.
If.
C
I
can,
through
the
the
chair,
I
mean.
That
certainly
is
Metrolinx
is
practice,
and
so,
as
you
point
out,
there
is
an
ample
amount
of
vacant,
land
and
and
now
underutilized
land.
That
would,
you
know,
would
be
good
candidates
for
that
kind
of
development,
especially
if
we're
going
to
be
building
a
station.
There.
C
If
I
can
I
think
through
the
chair,
you
know
we're,
we
are,
as
you
well
know,
we're
not
created
equal
I.
Think
the
there
isn't
a
direct
line
between
the
federal
government
ourselves
in
terms
of
how
this
money
gets
allocated.
So
we
will
be
sitting
down
with
the
province
and
and
working
through
I.
Think
our
priorities
are
clear
and
they've
indicated
their
preferences,
so
we'll
see
what
it
is
that
we
can
hopefully
work
together
to
make
you
know
as
much
of
a
unified
position
put
that
forward
to
the
federal
government.
Okay,.
T
C
I
T
I
A
A
Right
thanks,
deputy
mayor
Barlow,
now
I
think
we're
we're.
We
will
see
if
there's
anybody
else
from
the
committee
that
wishes
to
ask
questions
about
the
report.
Okay.
Well,
if
there
is
no
one,
then
I
think
we
can
thank
the
staff
very
much
for
their
answers
and
we
can
then
adjourn
for
lunch
and
we
will
have
speeches
for
most
wishing
to
speak
after
we
come
back
at
lunch
at
1:30.
Thank
you
very
much.
