1 We Want Your Input! Review the design alternatives and tell us what s important to you in the design of these areas of the approved BRT Network: Richmond North of Oxford Street Richmond Row Dundas Street from Ontario Street to Highbury Avenue Turnarounds: North East South West Wellington Road, south of the Thames Oxford Street West from Platt s Lane to Wharncliffe Road Safety and Accessibility Natural Environment Cultural and Built Heritage Representatives from the Project Team are available to answer your questions and collect your feedback. Please also submit comments using the forms provided. King Street east of Talbot Street. This picture does not represent a final design.

2 What is Bus Rapid Transit? Dedicated Lanes: Ensure reliable service Avoid delays to auto traffic caused by bus boardings/alightings Flexibility to accommodate and optimize benefits of future modes (such as driverless vehicles) Context sensitive designs to create pedestrian friendly downtown zones Respect heritage constraints Wellington Road at Base Line Road. This picture does not represent a final design. Design Features: Accessible Pedestrian and cycling connections Real time information Integrated design with surrounding Attractive shelters community London s Bus Rapid Transit System Spacing of Stops: Average spacing is 740 metres (walking half-way will take 5 to 7 minutes) Service frequency: North and East corridors: every 5 minutes South and West corridors: every 10 minutes Integration with local services: Rapid Transit does not replace the current LTC bus system Combined transit service will increase by 35% between 2015 and Increasing specialized transit service by 35,000 hours from 2016 to 2019.

3 Project Process Planning for Rapid Transit is completed in stages: The 1 st stage was the Rapid Transit Master Plan. The Rapid Transit Master Plan defined the rapid transit network, including: Which streets Bus Rapid Transit will run along in dedicated lanes Bus Rapid Transit technology Stop locations The Rapid Transit Master Plan was approved by Council on July 25, day Public Review period was held August 4 to September 18, 2017 The 2 nd stage is the Transit Project Assessment Process. The Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) is a focused Environmental Assessment study that applies to Public Transit projects. During the TPAP we will: Develop and evaluate design alternatives Consider positive and negative impacts Identify mitigation measures Conduct public consultation The draft Environmental Project Report will be presented to Council before starting the formal TPAP 6-month process. After the TPAP, the City will complete detailed design before construction can begin. We Are Here

4 Transit Project Assessment Process Matters of Provincial importance must be considered, following Ontario Regulation 231/08. Matters of Provincial importance include: Park, conservation reserve or protected area Extirpated, endangered, threatened, or species of special concern and their habitat Wetland, woodland, habitat of wildlife or other natural heritage area Area of natural or scientific interest Stream, creek, river or lake containing fish and their habitats Area or region of surface water or groundwater, or other important hydrological features Areas that may be impacted by a known or suspected on- or off-site source of contamination such as a spill, a gasoline outlet, an open or closed landfill site, etc. Protected heritage property and cultural heritage landscapes Archaeological resources and areas of potential archaeological interest Constitutionally protected Aboriginal or treaty rights and areas of concern

5 Approved BRT Network City of London has committed $130 million toward our estimated $500 million Bus Rapid Transit Network. To move forward, London is seeking approximately $370 million from federal and provincial partners. 24 km network $12.8 million annual operating cost 35 BRT stops $724.4 million in transportation, 28 articulated buses environmental and economic benefits over the project lifespan 1.18 benefit-cost ratio (to year 2050)

6 What we heard during the Rapid Transit Master Plan Public Review Period RTMP Public Review Period August 4 September 18, ,802 visits to the Master Plan 1,693 Unique page views webpage You told us: Cycling facilities are important to you. You want to provide input on the Bus Rapid Transit stop design. You asked us: What impact will there be to my property? How will local transit be integrated with Rapid Transit? How will we safely access the median Bus Rapid Transit stops? What are the impacts to automobile traffic and parking? You noted: Rapid Transit is essential for London s future success given that comparable cities like Kitchener-Waterloo are building these systems. Any new development should be transit supportive near stops. Transit should be considered in land use planning and urban design. You can view the Rapid Transit Master Plan at

7 City-wide Benefits of Bus Rapid Transit Smarter Traffic Flow Shorter commute times and less gridlock city-wide by introducing new smart signals that respond to traffic. Keeping Our City Affordable Saving almost $300 million in road widening costs, which will allow us to build other community infrastructure. Better Transit for Everyone BRT plus local transit will have a combined service increase of 35%. More Ways to Commute Almost 40% of our future population and 60% of jobs will be within walking distance of BRT. Cleaner Air Support a more sustainable and resilient community by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 230,000 tonnes.

8 BRT Vehicle Specifications Can carry up to 4,500 passengers every hour in each direction Vehicles are high capacity, accessible and offer comfortable seating Vehicles run primarily in dedicated lanes, but also have the flexibility to operate in mixed-traffic Mercedes-Benz Smart Bus Geneva Cologne Los Angeles

9 Electric Buses Electric bus technology is improving and more systems are starting to use them, including systems in Canada. Winnipeg Transit 400+ km $ Electric buses cost approximately 20% 0 The amount of point-source Depending on the more than emissions that model, electric standard buses but are produced are cheaper to by electric buses can travel maintain and buses more than 400 km operate on a single charge

10 Accessing Median Stops 1 Jane arrives at her stop and pushes the push 2 and waits to cross the street. to walk button 3 When the walk sign goes on, Jane crosses one direction of traffic to get to the westbound platform her direction of travel. 4 Jane gets to the stop platform and walks toward the boarding area. 5 She checks the next bus arrival information and sees that her bus will arrive in 3 minutes. 6 Great! That s enough time for her to pay for her fare before she boards the bus. 7 Jane waits for her bus on the bench in the platform shelter. 8 Shortly after, her bus arrives, and she s on her way.

11 Integration with Cycling Cycling is a flexible and cost-effective way to address first and last mile connections. Safe and convenient routes to access Rapid Transit stops will be important to maximize the number of people who can reach the system easily. London ON Bikes - Proposed Cycling Network Supporting Strategies Provide BRT vehicles with a bike rack. Provide safe and well-marked access to stops. Prioritize constructing cycling routes that connect to stops, when possible. Coordinate the construction with cycling projects or protect for future construction, when possible. Incorporate a mix of short and long-term bike options at stops where space allows. At stops with limited space, provide bike parking nearby.

12 Integration with Local Transit Rapid Transit Local Transit Connections Increased service on local transit routes that connect to BRT stops. That means rapid transit buses every 5 to 10 minutes and connecting local transit every 10 to 20 minutes during rush hours. 12 buses per hour 6 buses per hour In most cases, local transit routes that duplicate BRT routes will be minimized. In cases where a local route does align with Rapid Transit, the local routes will BRT use the traffic lanes and curb-side bus stops, as they do today. Local Bus In Downtown London, local bus routes Downtown will use the same dedicated transit lanes and the same bus stops as rapid transit. Local Bus Local Bus and Rapid Transit Stop BRT On roadways with dedicated curb-side BRT lanes, local buses will use the curb-side BRT lane but will pull into bus bays to serve local transit stops, allowing BRT buses to pass. Local Bus BRT Local Bus Stop Combined transit service will increase by 35% between 2015 and %
