- Sheppard East LRT: engineering and design work in 2007 for a
construction start early in 2009
- Etobicoke-Finch West LRT: engineering and design work in 2008 for a
construction start late in 2009
- Eglinton-Crosstown LRT: engineering and design work in 2008 for a
construction start in 2010
- Waterfront West LRT: engineering and design of a new loop at
Kipling Avenue/Lake Shore Boulevard, and purchase of special
trackwork for a new loop at Park Lawn Road/Lake Shore Boulevard for a
construction start in 2009, and
- Maintenance and Storage Facilities: engineering and design work in
2008 for a construction start in 2010.
Implementation plans for the Scarborough-Malvern LRT, Jane Street
LRT, and Don Mills LRT will be addressed in subsequent reports to the
Commission. (there's a lot of discussion of Lakeshore West in the
document - clearly that one will be more of a series of incremental
upgrades that one massive construction project).
There's also a comment that "Sheppard East, Etobicoke-Finch West, and
Eglinton-Crosstown ... may have to initially operate independent of
the existing TTC streetcar network and each other, possibly based out
of interim storage facilities".
