The purpose of this report is to provide updates on components of the City of Toronto's priority transit expansion projects, namely the Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (EELRT) and the Waterfront Transit Network (WTN). In April 2019, City Council confirmed the preferred design for the EELRT, per agenda item 2019.EX4.1. The EELRT is a 15 km extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT from Kennedy Station to Malvern, with up to 21 stops and three connections to GO Transit.

Recent changes to transit plans in Scarborough due to the Province's Subway Program required the City to update the scope of the EELRT project. This report recommends City Council approve the updated design to further advance the project, and direct staff to report back on the project costs, schedule and phasing approach prior to the 2022 Budget process. As part of 2019.EX4.1, City Council also approved the streetcar option as the preferred technology for the Union Station to Queens Quay Link as part of the WTN, and directed staff to undertake the preliminary design and engineering phase of the extension of streetcar service to the East Bayfront. This work is well under way, as a joint effort and partnership between the City, TTC and Waterfront Toronto. This report recommends City Council direct staff to report back on the recommended schedule and funding requirements for the Union Station to Queens Quay Link and the East Bayfront LRT section of the WTN, including phasing options and an updated business case, prior to the 2022 Budget process.
