ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS King Street Transit Pilot

Nov. 2017­Dec. 2018

TRANSIT RIDERSHIP

17% increase in all-day weekday ridership.

33% 44% increase in AM commute increase in PM commute ridership (eastbound at ridership (westbound at Spadina Ave.). Spadina Ave.).

TRANSIT RELIABILITY On average, streetcar travel times are now more predictable, making the service more attractive.

Wait time reliability remained mostly unchanged through the pilot even though headways were widened by 10% due to the conversion of the fleet to all low-floor high capacity streetcars.

TRANSIT TRAVEL TIMES The reliability of streetcar travel times has continued to improve since before the pilot.

Approx. 5 minute improvement (in each direction) during the PM commute for the slowest streetcar travel time.

Across the full year of the pilot, the slowest travel times during the afternoon commute were similar to the average travel times before the pilot.

CAR TRAVEL TIMES & VOLUMES

Average travel times, while showing some variability from month to month, have varied (+/-) less than a minute in both the AM and PM commute on most east-west streets parallel to King Street, compared to before the pilot.

Various construction projects impacted travel times on downtown streets throughout the pilot, including watermain replacement on Adelaide, Dundas, and major construction work on Jarvis among others.

Drivers on King St. continued to access local businesses or residences, conduct loading and deliveries, and pick-up/drop-off passengers. Traffic previously using King Street has generally shifted to alternative east and west routes.

Overall car volumes crossing Bay St. from Front St. north to Queen St. have decreased by 7% in both the AM and PM commutes during the Pilot. This is made up of reductions on King St. of about 80% and increases in volumes on streets parallel to King St. of about 5% in both the AM and PM commutes.

The downtown traffic network has been largely able to absorb and respond to the changes in routing that drivers have made.

PEDESTRIAN VOLUMES Total pedestrian volumes have remained stable on King St. as a result of the pilot when accounting for the effects of seasonality, relative to most comparable east-west streets.

CYCLING VOLUMES

King has become the second most popular east-west cycling route in the downtown after the Richmond and Adelaide cycle tracks.

In October, cycling volumes at Spadina Avenue have increased by 380 riders in the afternoon peak compared to before the pilot in October 2017.

ECONOMIC POINT-OF-SALE DATA Customer spending data suggests that year-over-year growth in total spending on King Street has decreased slightly (0.8%) after the pilot was installed, with reductions primarily to spending in the restaurant sector. This is a trend that existed during the year before the pilot was installed, indicating that these differences may not have resulted from the pilot itself. Spending in both retail and services sectors appears to have grown faster during the year after the pilot was installed compared to the rate of growth in the year before the pilot began.

PUBLIC SPACE

45 unique amenities were introduced into 18 new curb lane public spaces along the corridor, including cafes, art installations, public seating areas, bike share stations, and parklets. These spaces created opportunities for people to stay and linger, as well as provided extra space for pedestrians to walk on crowded sidewalks.

During Park People's Public Space Public Life Study, nearly one in five people spending time on King Street were found within the new public spaces.

ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS King Street Transit Pilot

Nov. 2017­Dec. 2018

PILOT BACKGROUND The King Street Transit Pilot is about moving people more efficiently on transit, improving public space, and supporting business and economic prosperity along King Street. The pilot aims to improve transit reliability, speed, and capacity on the busiest surface transit route in the city by giving transit priority on King Street from Bathurst Street to Jarvis Street.

The monitoring and evaluation plan involves the collection of data before and during the pilot in order to assess the impacts and benefits. Data is collected through methods such as the tracking of TTC streetcars using GPS, the monitoring of car travel times using Bluetooth sensors, and the collection of pedestrian, cycling and car volumes using video analytics. Monthly updates will be provided reflecting the latest data and information available to the City. This update provides an overview of the results of monitoring through November 2017 to December 2018.

OPEN DATA An open data release has been posted on the City's open data catalogue, covering data from November 2017 to the end of December 2018. This release includes detailed and summarized car travel times and car, pedestrian and bicycle volumes. The catalogue can be accessed at: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/open-data/

Total Peak Period Pedestrian Volumes, Baseline vs. Oct/Nov 2018 Total Peak Period Pedestrian Volumes, Baseline vs. Oct/Nov 2018 • Total pedestrian volumes have remained stable on

King Street as a result of the pilot when accounting for the effects of seasonality, relative to most comparable east-west streets.

• Average pedestrian volumes in October and November 2018 at King Street and Spadina Avenue, relative to baseline volumes from the previous year, decreased in the morning peak period by 17% and increased in the afternoon peak period by 5%. This is comparable to an observed decrease in the morning peak period of 9% and increase in the afternoon peak period of 6% at other downtown streets at Spadina Avenue.

• Pedestrian traffic is sensitive to trends in seasonality, especially at intersections along Bay Street where pedestrians can use the underground PATH as an alternative to the street network during colder weather.
