King Street West Watermain and Track Renewal - Bus and Streetcar Rerouting along Queen Street West - Temporary Adjustments to Parking Regulations - by Councillor Alejandra Bravo, seconded by Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik

Starting February 2024 to December 2024, the City of Toronto's contractor will begin replacing a watermain and renewing the streetcar tracks (with TTC) on King Street West between Dufferin Street and Shaw Street. TTC must detour streetcars and buses onto Queen Street West via Shaw Street starting February 18, 2024, throughout the project. During the planned construction, the 504 King and 508 Lake Shore streetcars will divert to Queen Street West between Roncesvalles Avenue and Shaw Street. In addition, the 63 Ossington bus will be extended west along King Street West (west of Dufferin), where it will loop back at Roncesvalles Avenue. The 504 King and 508 Lake Shore streetcar diversion onto Queen Street West will substantially increase the number of transit vehicle trips on Queen Street West. There will be a significant increase in the number of customers traveling on Queen Street West on weekday mornings. In fall 2023, 106,000 customers boarded these routes daily, and 56,500 of these used the 504 King streetcar. Currently, there are only limited rush hour 'no stopping' regulations on the north side (westbound) and south side (eastbound) curb lanes on Queen Street West, between Roncesvalles Avenue and east of Shaw Street. In the north curb lane, "no stopping" is currently in effect between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. In the south curb lane, "no stopping" is in place between 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (west of Dufferin), and 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., (east of Dufferin Street). As context, King Street West has extended morning and late afternoon rush hour 'no stopping' prohibitions on both the north and south curb lanes, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.. It is vital to extend rush hour "no stopping" prohibitions in the diversion portions of Queen Street West and Shaw Street to mitigate severe congestion for all road users, due to the increased number of streetcars, buses, and private autos that will be diverting onto Queen Street West throughout the King Street West construction. Implementing these changes will significantly help to maintain reliability for TTC service and benefit all customers utilizing routes serving this corridor. The proposed by-law changes would take place effective immediately and last until construction is completed and streetcar service is returned to regular King Street routing. Transportation Services has consulted with Toronto Parking Authority, who assessed that the financial impact of lost revenue and operating expenses will be approximately $1,273,000.00 (pre-HST). Reason for Urgency: This motion is urgent as it enacts measures which are required to ensure transit service reliability during temporary construction works which are scheduled to begin in mid-February 2024.
