Keep Scarborough Connected!

A new community research report from TTCriders warns that the majority of Scarborough transit users are not aware that Line 3 Scarborough RT will close permanently in 2023. Our report calls for urgent measures to prevent the worst-case scenario of 7+ years of replacement shuttle buses stuck in traffic. Read below and sign the petition!

Dozens of TTCriders volunteers surveyed nearly 300 Scarborough transit users about the future of the Line 3 Scarborough RT corridor during the summer of 2021. We found that 63% of transit users are not aware that the RT will close permanently in 2023, 91% support keeping the SRT corridor for bus travel and other community uses, and 76% support bus lanes on the street so that replacement shuttles do not get stuck in traffic.

KEY REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS:

Transform the decommissioned Line 3 (SRT) corridor into a rapid busway with green space for walking and cycling;
Implement transit priority measures like bus-only lanes and traffic signal priority for any segments of on-street replacement bus service;
Subsidize free transfers between GO Transit and TTC;
Include a cycle track alongside the bus replacement service in the SRT corridor;
Fully fund the Eglinton East LRT and expand Scarborough’s rapid transit network;
Keep the corridor and concrete structures in public hands so this historic Scarborough landmark can be used for public-use infrastructure.
