Origin
Summary
In May 2017, City Council approved the installation of cycle tracks on Woodbine Avenue (2017.MM29.38). During recent planned and unplanned subway outages, the TTC has experienced operational challenges for shuttle buses servicing Woodbine Subway Station.
I have observed these challenges firsthand and have heard concerns from the community about difficulties accessing shuttle buses during subway service disruptions. Ensuring reliable and efficient transit options is a priority, especially when the subway is not running.
The purpose of this motion is to request Transportation Services to revise the design of the Woodbine Avenue cycle tracks by removing the concrete curbs along the east side of the cycle track between Danforth Avenue and Strathmore Boulevard. This change will allow for additional buses to serve passengers on Woodbine Avenue, improving TTC operations and transit accessibility during subway outages.
