Strachan Avenue Grade Separation Design Concepts Study |
|
|
|
 The expected increase in passenger rail service along the Georgetown/Milton rail corridor will, in the opinion of City of Toronto staff, require the elimination of the at-grade rail crossing of Strachan Avenue. Key City objectives are to improve safety conditions for all users of this street, including pedestrians and cyclists and preserve Strachan as a continuous street, providing a vital link to the waterfront. Therefore, Strachan Avenue needs to be grade separated from the rail corridor.
The City's Strachan Avenue Grade Separation Design Concepts Study has concluded that this grade separation should be carried out by lowering the railway corridor to allow Strachan Avenue to pass over the rail lines. This solution will allow Strachan Avenue to reach its full potential as a gracious urban street that connects the City to the Waterfront and provides a good relationship to adjacent development and land uses.
GO Transit is about to commence an Individual Environmental Assessment study of the "Georgetown South Corridor Service Expansion and Airport Transportation Link". The purpose of this report is to enable City Council to inform GO Transit that, based on assessment of various alternatives, the option which best satisfies the City's objectives is to lower the rail corridor and allow Strachan Avenue to pass above.
