The construction liaison committee meeting of Brentcliffe - Victoria Park for June 14, 2018.

1. CROSSTOWN LRT
Construction Liaison Committee
Brentcliffe – Victoria Park
June 14, 2018

2. What Are We Building
• 15 underground stations and 10 surface stops – 9 km below ground and 10 km
above ground
• A maintenance and storage facility
• A 19-kilometre route separated from regular traffic
• Transit communications system
• Links to 54 bus routes, three subway stations,
GO Transit, and a new UP Express station

3. How We’re Building: Surface Stops
• Sequential road widening will be implemented to allow traffic flow to be maintained
during construction.
• The track where the trains will run is at the same level of the roadway on concrete pad
foundations, approximately 100 meters long.
• Example of a Cross Section (Pharmacy Stop)
• U-turns are permitted at intersections due to
unavailability of mid-block left turns

4. Unique Design Concepts: Surface Stops
•Clean, rectilinear form. Intuitive and
easy to use
•Transparent, to ensure clear sightlines
to the street and to maximize the
sense of the security to the passenger
•Provides protection from rain/snow
and splash from the street
Shelter Design
