It is recommended that the TTC Board:

1. Endorse the inclusion of Net Zero requirements in the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements project.

2. Approve the inclusion of Platform Edge Doors (PEDs) on Line 1 and Line 2 at Bloor-Yonge station as part of the system-wide platform protection program, and funding for enabling PED infrastructure in the amount of $6.35 million, including HST, for design to 70% as part of the Development Phase for the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements project.

3. Authorize that the information in Confidential Attachment 2 remain confidential as it contains information about a position, plan, procedure, criteria or instruction to be applied to any negotiations carried on or to be carried on by or on behalf of the TTC.

This report provides an update on the impact assessment of Net Zero and Platform Edge Doors (PEDs) and seeks approval for the inclusion of Net Zero for the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements (BYCI) project as well as PEDs as part of the system-wide Platform Protection Program and enabling PED infrastructure as part of the BYCI project.

This report is a follow up to the February 24, 2025 Board report, Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements Project – Progressive Design-Build Development Phase, which authorized the award of the Progressive Design-Build Development Phase Agreement for the BYCI project to Kenaidan Murphy Joint Venture (KMJV), and committed to assess the impacts for PEDs and Net Zero, and report back to the Board by Q2 2026.

The total project budget for the BYCI Project is $1.514 billion, comprising of costs incurred to the end of 2025 of $205 million and cash flow funding of $1.309 billion in the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan, which was approved by the TTC Board on January 7, 2026 and City Council on February 10, 2026 under Program 3.9 Buildings and Structures – Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements Project. Of the approved funding in the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan, approximately $347.5 million has been committed to date.

Subject to the approval of Recommendation 3 above, funding in the total amount of $6.35 million (incl. HST) is required to progress to 70% design of PEDs enabling infrastructure. In order to continue design progress in 2026, funding will be accelerated from future years’ approved funding in the BYCI Project, with the in-year budget adjustment included in the Financial and Major Projects Update for the Period Ended - April 26, 2026, subject to Board approval.

The BYCI project will receive intergovernmental funding through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program – Public Transit Infrastructure Stream (PTIF Phase 2). In July 2022, the project received approval from all three orders of government for a total estimated cost of $1.514 billion. The Federal and Provincial governments committed up to $500 million in federal contributions and $449.2 million in provincial contributions. The TTC, with the City, have entered into a transfer payment agreement with the Province, which administers the program on behalf of the Federal government.

The Interim Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
