Broadview Avenue streetcar-track renewal: Construction starts July 4; TTC detours continue

Starting Tuesday, July 4, the City of Toronto is closing

Broadview Avenue between Danforth Avenue and Gerrard Street East

to accommodate a City / TTC project to renew the aging streetcar tracks.

Renewing the streetcar tracks helps reduce track noise and brings the track infrastructure to a state of good repair. During the project, the City is also rebuilding Montcrest Boulevard, resurfacing the Broadview Avenue roadway and repairing sidewalks and curbs.

The City and TTC work on the project in several phases:

Phase 1 - July 4 until early August

replacing the tracks between Sparkhall Avenue and Gerrard Street East; and

rebuilding Montcrest Boulevard.

^ Phase 1 construction map.

Phase 2 - mid-August until late September

replacing the tracks between Danforth and Sparkhall avenues; and

replacing the tracks through the intersection of Broadview and Danforth avenues.

^ Phase 2 construction map.

Phase 3 - early October until late November

resurfacing Broadview Avenue between Danforth Avenue and Gerrard Street East.

^ Phase 3a construction map.

^ Phase 3b construction map.

During phase 1, the work zone restricts traffic to just one northbound lane only between Gerrard East and Danforth. A southbound traffic lane from Danforth to Montcrest will continue to be available for local access to businesses and residences until mid-July.

The TTC will also be renewing the streetcar tracks on Broadview Avenue between Erindale and Danforth avenues and in Broadview Station terminal in late August and September.

Since Sunday, June 18, the TTC has detoured buses and streetcars or revised service along these routes to accommodate this project and the upcoming construction in Broadview Station terminal:

8 Broadview;
62 Mortimer;
70 O’Connor;
72 Pape;
87 Cosburn;
100 Flemingdon Park;
121 Esplanade - River;
304 King overnight;
306 Carlton overnight;
322 Coxwell overnight;
501B Queen shuttle buses;
503 Kingston Rd;
504 King;
505 Dundas;
506 Carlton; and
506C Carlton shuttle buses.

Starting Tuesday, July 4, the TTC further revised some of the detour routings.

The TTC recently completed two early phases of this project:

rail-welding and -storage, starting June 11; and
overhead wiring upgrades, starting June 18.

This year, the City of Toronto and the TTC have started a series of major construction projects that significantly impact transit services in the east end of the former Toronto city — between Victoria Park Avenue and the Don River.

The various projects include:

Broadview Avenue between Danforth Avenue and Gerrard Street East — rehabilitating the sewer and replacing the streetcar tracks;
Broadview Station — upgrading the bus and streetcar platforms;
intersection of (lower) Gerrard Street East / Eastwood Road with Coxwell Avenue — replacing the water main and renewing the streetcar tracks;
Main Street Station — repairing the pavement and the concrete bus platform on the south side of the station;
Queen Street East just east of DeGrassi Street — upgrading the rail overpass as part of Metrolinx’s Ontario Line subway project.
Queen Street East at the Don River — upgrading the bridge.

See local transit commentator Steve Munro’s recent posts for details on how all these projects together disrupt transit in the east end:

on Queen Street East at Carroll and River streets.

Eastbound buses continue to operate along their regular path.

Transit agencies often interline buses along two or more routes with a common terminal to save resources — human resources (drivers) and physical resources (buses). For example, when a westbound bus along the 8 Broadview route arrives in Broadview Station terminal, it continues eastbound along the 62 Mortimer route. It completes a round trip along route 62 before returning to the terminal and then proceeding northward along route 8.
