TTC Buses on Shuter

Thanks,

There’s nothing noted in the route diversions – you can always check on this web page - http://www.ttc.ca/Service_Advisories/Route_diversions/index.jsp - and there is also a link to “Service Alerts” which doesn’t show anything affecting the 501 in this area either.
Other than that, contact them at the appropriate connections shown on this page - http://www.ttc.ca/Contact_Us/index.jsp .
Cheers, L

The City decided to do work on the water mains and sidewalks further east on Queen street (east of Leslie st.) Therefore buses are turning around along Shuter- I guess since streetcars are limited on the runs, resulting in more buses being used. This part of the work will be going on until the end of July. Another phase will be going on until October, though that hasnt been defined as of yet.

Why are these buses not running along King St. and Queen? They could be picking up fares on Queen and taking them east or west. I work shift work and leave for work very early in the morning and come home late at night. These streets are dangerous at these times of morning and night and to have to walk blocks out of one's way is not only frightening but dangerous.
The other night I had to turn down a shift the other night because I couldn't afford the cab fare in case there was not service available in the area. Sunday I had to walk to work, which takes 55 minutes because service was being re-routed for the run. A couple of weeks before I was waiting at Sumach and King for a streetcar for 30 minutes. The sign at the stop said nothing about there being no streetcar or bus service at these stops. When I called the hotline they told me that I would have to walk because the TTC was not stopping there, luckily I was able to get a streetcar on Parliament while walking and trying to catch a cab. I would rather be late for work rather than be out an hour's pay because I had to take a cab.

- Corktown Association has never paid much attention to Shuter St issues
- very few persons living on Shuter belong to either Corktown or Trefann Associations
if more of our neighbours got involved in the Trefann Association, we might have more success in getting some of our local issues addressed ...

Thanks for the info. This is very frustrating for the residents, again we are left in the dark when it comes to traffic and noise impact on a street that has a No Heavy Truck By-law from 7 pm - 7 am. It's seems useless to have resident association's when they aren't informed about about such issues. Some of these buses are exceeding the speed limit later in the night.

I’m surprised at this post.
I guess the Regent Park Construction Liaison Committee doesn’t mean anything – if it weren’t for me personally, representing the CRBA, it wouldn’t exist. Nor apparently does our having Beth Baskin, a Shuter Street resident, as the CRBA representative on that committee mean anything.
I personally followed up with Pam McConnell’s office after the first meeting to push some action on the street cleaning, as you know, although I haven’t heard anything subsequently from anyone on Shuter, positive or negative. But you attended the Committee as I did, and are as able to follow up as me. I can only assume that positive action resulted.
So I’m disappointed that you would broadcast this lack of thanks, for the effort that was made for the sole benefit of Shuter Street residents, in such a broad forum which necessitates this broad response which normally I don’t do. You just got too personal.
I wish the Trefann Association well in getting local issues addressed. And we will continue to do what we do which mostly is well appreciated.

Linda, I don't think we are currently represented by any resident's association:

I bet if these buses were running through Cabbagetown it would be stopped in a hurry. Oh well so much for living in the ghetto......
502 Downtowner - Watermain work and track repairs
Streetcars replaced by buses east of Greenwood Avenue. Effective May 6 until October 2012.
Starting Sunday, May 6 until the end of July, streetcars will be replaced by buses, on Queen Street East, east of Greenwood Avenue, during watermain work and streetcar track repairs between Vancouver Avenue and Coxwell Avenue.During the first of two phases of repair work, 501/301 QUEEN streetcars will turn back west at Russell Carhouse (Greenwood Avenue).
501 QUEEN replacement buses will provide service on Queen Street East between Broadview Avenue and Neville Park Loop and the 301 QUEEN all-night buses between University Avenue and Neville Park Loop, diverting in both directions via Queen Street, Leslie Street, Eastern Avenue, Coxwell Avenue and Queen Street.
Route 502 DOWNTOWNER and 503 KINGSTON RD streetcars will be replaced by route 502/503 buses, running between Queen & Broadview intersection and Bingham Loop, diverting via Queen Street, Leslie Street, Eastern Avenue, Coxwell Avenue, Queen Street and Kingston Road.
During the project, there will be no service on route 503 looping downtown via King Street, Church Street, Wellington Street, York Street and King Street and no service on route 502 into McCaul Loop.
The second phase of repair work is scheduled to take place from the beginning of August until October 6, 2012, requiring further routing changes.

Shuter St resident Claudio was the person who first established dialog between TCHC and the neighbourhood, about Regent Park redevelopment: a meeting March 17, 2011 as communicated on the Trefann website.
No significant improvement in dust/dirt levels on Shuter St (but I assume that Beth has already told you that).

That March 27, 2011 meeting was actually initiated by me, except TCHC messed up their communications and didn’t include us on the e-mail cc. But that is now almost part of history, which is exactly that and so increasingly irrelevant. Your comments were about the present.
Since you are on the Construction Liaison Committee, I assume you have made the current dust/dirt levels known to the Committee, TCHC and the City.
Let’s move on.

You may not realize that some of the residents do not have, nor can they afford the toys to find out this information. I have a pay as you go cell phone that I only use for police emergency calls and work for my shift schedule. I pay $10 a month which does not have free minutes or cheaper times to phone, therefore I do not have access to the internet when at a TTC Stop. I did use the information phone number posted on the King St. post that morning and was put on hold while they found the info. That took about 5 minutes and minutes on my phone and I told them the information posted was wrong. That's when she told me I'd have to walk.
As for TTC traffic on Queen and King, I was under the impression that access to TTC increased your property value, Hot Properties always uses this for selling features. Shuter St. is not a TTC Route.

As for going to the website before work, I am not in the mood to turn on a computer at 5 am to check for updates, that being said on Sunday I did go to the TTC Webpage and it was very vague as to what the Marathon routes and times were. I was starting work later than usual and decided to walk at that point because the subway doesn't open until 9 am on Sunday which would be another delay. When I spoke to a police officer on my way he suggested walking was the best way to go and to stay on the south side of Front.
