22 Ideal Transit Plan Mix of Subways and LRT

23 Architectural Design Philosophies Individual approach as seen in Paris, Montreal, Boston, Singapore and original TTC - Spadina Line System wide approach as in Washington, Vienna, and TTC Bloor-Danforth line

24 System wide Standard approach Results in stations which are predictable for the user. Cost effective (initial and long term) Consistent passenger circulation relationships Can be monotone and predictable Bloor Danforth line _Old Mill Station Dufferin Station

25 TTC Standard Elements approach A blend of the System wide and Individual approach with a view to adopting the best from both. cost effective management control, while at the same time allowing the opportunity for design freedom to create visually attractive design solutions. Meet the needs of the community Have low maintenance costs Provide passenger safety and security Provide passenger comfort and convenience Are fully accessible Are modern and clean

26 TTC Stated CPTED Principles for Station clearly understandable circulation bright, open spaces maximise daylight penetration no places to hide multiple route choices Formal review TTC Special Constables City, and York Police

27 CCTV in TTC Stations Collector s Booth Farelines Elevators: portals cab interiors Escalators DWAs Platforms Remote corridors

28 Art Integration Impartial, qualified jury selected from the community Final selection of artist involves Architect Artist and Architect develop integrated art concept Approved by Station Art Design Review Committee Yorkdale Subway Integrated Public Art Arc En Ciel Neon Lightwork by Michael Hayden

29 Integration of public art Suitable to station design and surrounding community; Compatible with the architectural standard elements Maintainable and cleanable at minimal cost Durable through a minimum 30-year life span Resistant to vandalism.
