• Crosstown Project Agreements requires CTS to make improvements at
Eglinton subway station
• TTC has approved 24 closures in 2018 for this work

subway tracks and Berwick portal

– Construction of new subway service building
– Upgrades/improvements to the subway station
• TTC & CTS coordination to limit overall number of Line 1 closures in 2018:
– During 9 of the 24 closures, TTC will undertake states of Good Repair work
– 15 out of the 24 Closures will be strictly from St Clair to Lawrence
9. Upgrades/Improvements to Subway Station

to existing subway station:
– Smoke evacuation fans
– New electrical systems
– Improved fire detection systems
– New escalators
• Materials and equipment will be delivered on the subway tracks via the
Berwick portal, necessitating the subway closures.
• Additional benefits to TTC/transit users associated with Crosstown
construction:
– Extension of the subway platform by 25 metres
– Upgrading pedestrian tunnels that connect directly to current and future
– development

while concrete and steel deliveries will be intermittent. A hydrovac may be required
occasionally depending on site conditions.

levels remain within allowable limits and to identify possible mitigation
measures for construction activities.

adjacent the work site
– Acoustic enclosures for pumps and generators
– Broadband backup alarms for equipment
– Environmental awareness training and toolbox talks for contractors
and employees
