Summary
The Lakeshore Planning Council (LPC) requests the TTC Commissioners implement the following actions to improve the erratic & unreliable 501 Queen streetcar service west of Humber Loop:
1. The TTC and the City reinstate the 507 streetcar route on a revised routing from Long Branch loop to Dundas West subway station, to reduce dependence on the problematic and unreliable 501 Queen route.
2. An improvement to Lakeshore streetcar service to Transit City Bus Plan standards of minimum 10 minute service at all times.
3. Immediate cancellation of the premium fare 145 Humber Bay Express bus route. Abysmal ridership on this route, while the 501 streetcar is often standing room only by Humber Loop, demonstrates that riders want improvements to streetcar service that serves the entire route, not express buses.
4. Significant, demonstrable improvement in streetcar line service management to prevent streetcar bunching, without short turns.
5. A copy of the interim report on the timed transfer being piloted on St. Clair.
6. A similar Timed Transfer pilot for the streetcar route along Lakeshore Boulevard.
