Access to TTC Lansdowne subway station
AnonymousHow will a convenient and seamless pedestrian connection be implemented to the nearby TTC Lansdowne subway station?
Pedestrian and cycling connectivity
AnonymousWill a multi-use path connecting north to the Davenport Diamond Greenway and south to Dundas and the West Toronto Railpath Extension be built concurrently with the station? Will there also be pedestrian and cycling connections west across the tracks to Sterling Road?
Electrification
AnonymousWill this station be built in accordance with the electrification of the Barrie line?
Provision for 3rd track?
AnonymousMuch of the northern section of the Barrie corridor has been built for the provision of a 3rd track for future express service (example is Rutherford GO station). Will this station have a provision for a future 3rd track, even if it passes the station without a platform?
Access to Railpath?
AnonymousWhat will be the connectivity to the West Toronto Railpath? Having a simple connection to it would make it easier for people from adjacent neighborhoods (e.g. Roncesvalles, Junction) to access the station by bike
284 St Helens
AnonymousSome residential units at 284 St Helen's will directly be facing the station to the south, and some will be facing the platform to the east. What is the design plan to ensure noise, safety and privacy for these neighbours? Will the public have direct access to 284 St Helen's?
Train bells at station
AnonymousWhat alternatives to bell ringing from the trains are being explored by Metrolinx? The increased train traffic from SmartTrack will create a further disruption to local area residents.
What date will this station be functional?
Anonymous284 St Helens
AnonymousSome residential units at 284 St Helen's will directly be facing the station to the south, and some will be facing the platform to the east. What is the design plan to mitigate noise, and to ensure safety and privacy for these neighbours? Will the public have direct access to 284 St Helen's?
Traffic on St Helen's
AnonymousWill there be a 'kiss and ride' design for this station? If so, how will traffic be managed on St Helen's for commuters who might be dropped off at this station by a car?
What are the plans for access to Sterling Road?
AnonymousGiven the development on Sterling Road, I think it would be important to provide a direct access to Sterling Road (for both directions of travel)
Connection to Lansdowne Station?
AnonymousWill any sort of allotment be made in current construction for a potential underground connection to Lansdowne Station, perhaps even via future residential construction that is likely to come on the north side of Bloor?
