The Relief Line North and South The city is growing, and so is our rapid transit network. The City of Toronto, TTC and Metrolinx are planning the Relief Line to relieve crowding on Line 1 Yonge and provide more travel options to transit riders throughout Toronto. The Relief Line is being studied in two parts: Relief Line North and Relief Line South. RELIEF LINE NORTH Alignment and stations to be determined through study now being initiated First round of engagement happening now RELIEF LINE SOUTH TPAP being initiated in April 2018 Design underway for 8 stations from Osgoode to Pape Conceptual design & costing underway Draft Environmental Project Report 90% complete Report back to Council late 2019

Why do we need the Relief Line North? Problem Statement: Unprecedented growth Limited transit capacity Limited accessibility 7 million to over 10 million 41% increase in population by 2041 in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area J O B S Unprecedented growth Congestion J O B S 1 3.6 million to 4.8 million 33% increase in employment by 2041 in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area Source: Statistics Canada 2016 Census

A continuation of Relief Line South, travelling north from Pape Station will provide more capacity and reduce overcrowding, helping to improve the performance of the entire regional transportation network. Eglinton Improve experience, health and environment Davisville St. Clair Summerhill With the roll-out of the new Toronto Rocket subway fleet in 2014, capacity increased by 10%. This has resulted in a minor improvement for certain sections, however Bloor Station to Dundas Station remains at or above capacity. Rapid transit options reduce per trip greenhouse gas emissions, provide an alternative to car use, and are a more active form of transportation helping to protect our environment and our health. Rosedale Bloor-Yonge Wellesley College Dundas Connect people and places Relief Line North will provide improved transit access for more communities not yet served by rapid transit, helping to create connected places and better connect people with urban centres, employment nodes and regional destinations. Queen King Union Source: TTC, 2016 Grow with the Region By 2041, the GTHA, which had a population of nearly 7 million in 2016, is expected to grow to over 10 million people and 4.8 million jobs.

What we have heard from you so far: Connect communities across the City Whether it s going to work, school or key destinations across the city, people want easier connections to get to where they re going. Support growth Design the Relief Line North to maximize development potential in residential and employment areas along the route and surrounding neighborhoods. Enhance the transit experience Transit experiences would be more enjoyable with a reduction in congestion on transit lines and highways. This means faster and more efficient Improve transit equity Create an affordable transit service with station accessibility in high density neighbourhoods. travelling to, from and within the City. Extend service times Build an integrated transit network Increased connections between local and regional Longer service hours will offer transit users more options when planning their route. transit systems would help build an integrated and convenient transit network with more options. Expedite the Relief Line North Transit lines trains, subways and buses are all experiencing crowding within the study area and the Relief Line North is required quickly.

RELIEF LINE NORTH: LONG LIST OF CORRIDORS Long list of Corridor Options How were these corridors identified? Corridors were identified by: Connecting potential station areas; and Serving communities with significant existing ridership A total of six corridors were identified going north from Pape station on Pape avenue: 1. Bayview to Finch Station 2. Leslie 3. Don Mills to Leslie Station via GO corridor 4. Don Mills to Sheppard Avenue East 5. Don Mills to Victoria Park 6. Victoria Park via O Connor Your feedback on the long list of corridors will be considered to develop the short list of corridors.

How will we get to a short list of corridors? A high level evaluation of the long list of station areas and corridors will be conducted to narrow the options for the Relief Line North. The following steps will be taken: Evaluation 1 Evaluation 2 The Result Station areas will be evaluated based on impacts to: Corridors will be evaluated based on: Ability to relieve congestion The short list of corridors Natural heritage areas, environmentally sensitive areas, parkland and/or open spaces Flood plains Land uses Ability to provide continuous service north of Pape Station Connections to the existing and future transit network Feasibility based on engineering standards Question:? Ability to accommodate a Maintenance and Storage Facility Is there anything else you would like us to consider? (MSF) for vehicles

Evaluation Criteria The Relief Line North short list of corridors will be evaluated using the following criteria: STRATEGIC CASE SERVING PEOPLE CHOICE Develop an integrated network that connects different modes to provide for more travel options. EXPERIENCE Capacity to ease crowding/ congestion; reduce travel times; make travel more reliable, safe and enjoyable. SOCIAL EQUITY Do not favour any group over others; allow everyone good access to work, school and other activities. How does the investment achieve strategic goals and objectives? ECONOMIC CASE What is the investment s overall value to society? STRENGTHENING PLACES SHAPING THE CITY Use the transportation network as a tool to shape the residential development of the City. HEALTHY NEIGHBOURHOODS Capacity to ease crowding/ congestion; reduce travel times; make travel more reliable, safe and enjoyable. PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT Support and enhance natural areas, encourage people to reduce how far they drive. + FINANCIAL CASE What are the financial implications of delivering the investment? SUPPORTING PROSPERITY SUPPORT GROWTH Investment in public transportation should support economic development; allow workers to get to jobs more easily; allow goods to get to markets more efficiently. AFFORDABILITY Improvements to the transportation system should be affordable to build, maintain and operate. DELIVERABILITY AND OPERATIONS CASE What risks and requirements must be considered for delivering and operating the investment? Questions: What do you think about the evaluation criteria? Is there anything else you would like us to consider in the evaluation of the potential corridor options??

Next Steps The Project Team will review feedback received during the first round of public consultation and consider all comments and questions related to the corridor options before moving into the next round of consultation.
