The Ontario Government | Gouvernement de l’Ontario has officially broken ground at Pape Station, marking the start of #construction to build a new interchange station connecting the Ontario Line with the TTC’s Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth). “The Ontario Line Pape Station will be a critical interchange for commuters by cutting some travel times by more than half and helping reduce gridlock for drivers across the city,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Ontario Ministry of Transportation/ Ministère des Transports de l’Ontario Minister. “Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government will continue to get this historic project done, creating thousands of good-paying local jobs and ensuring Toronto’s place as a world-class city for generations to come.” Construction at Pape Station is now underway with work to build the foundations required for excavations that will ultimately connect the two subway lines. The new station will serve tens of thousands of commuters every day, facilitating more than 9,000 transfers during the morning rush hour alone and reducing crowding on Line 1 (Yonge-University) by 15 per cent and Line 2 by over 20 per cent. #infrastructure Metrolinx, Infrastructure Ontario, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) https://lnkd.in/gmDSN2Qe

Segment five, which is six miles between Mead and Berthoud, will be expanded with tolled express lanes running both north and south.

This is how it’s done

Tunnel, no; bus lane, yes. Commonwealth is a classic example of “one more lane” will just make congestion worse. But induced demand works both ways: an exclusive bus lane + QC’s existing bike lanes is a step towards increasing its capacity today - not in 2029. https://lnkd.in/gZCGBWiE

GOVERNOR HOCHUL, MAYOR ADAMS AND PORT AUTHORITY ANNOUNCE AGREEMENT TO SUPPORT REPLACEMENT OF MIDTOWN BUS TERMINAL Governor Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey today announced a new agreement to support the $10 billion replacement and expansion of the 73-year-old Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. Recognizing the importance and catalytic potential of the project, the city has committed 40 years of tax revenue — expected to help the Port Authority raise an estimated total of up to $2 billion, 20 percent of the project cost — from three potential new commercial developments on three sites, two of which will be positioned atop the new bus terminal and the third to be built at a nearby site owned by the Port Authority and private owners, subject to market demand. This deal brings the vision of a reimagined bus terminal one step closer to reality. Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eyfW48G3

The award winning Healthier Highways approach is based on a five lanes strategy. Initial implementation begins on the inside lane and moves progressively through to the outside lane. Business-As-Usual runs all five lanes in parallel.

🚉 Introducing East Harbour Transit Hub (EHTH) 🚉 Situated strategically between Union Station and Danforth GO Station, EHTH is set to become a vital hub for commuters traveling on the Lakeshore East and Stouffville GO lines. But it doesn't stop there. This is not just another stop on the map; it's a dynamic interchange station designed to seamlessly connect GO service to the future Ontario Line subway, ensuring connectivity for commuters and safeguarding accessibility for future TTC streetcars. We're excited to embark on this journey with you, sharing insights into the early stages of our construction project. As a collaborative effort between leading industry players—Bird Construction, AtkinsRéalis, Hatch, and our partner Metrolinx—the East Harbour Transit Hub Alliance is pioneering an innovative approach to large-scale construction projects, making the process more efficient and cost-effective. An Alliance framework is an innovative model that is more efficient and cost effective for large construction projects (but more on that later!). Stay tuned as we shape not just a station, but your neighborhood. Together, we're building more than a transit hub; we're creating connections that will transform the way you travel and the way we deliver infrastructure. #AllianceConstruction #TorontoTransit #TorontoInfrastructure #OntarioInfrastructure #EastHarbourTransitHub #EastHarbour #EastHarbourTransitHubAlliance #EHTH
