P11PU21700 - P11PU21700 - D6-26 - DESIGN SERVICES - RUSSELL CARHOUSE EXTENSION

To accommodate the vehicle servicing requirements for the new Streetcar Fleet based at the Russell Streetcar Facility, TTC plans to construct a single track expansion of the Russell Carhouse facility located at 1401 Queen Street East. The expectation is to provide vehicle servicing needs for 6-monthly inspections, general running repairs (brake and motor replacements etc.), and periodic removal and replacement of all roof-mounted vehicle component modules, and bogies. The extension will provide for two (2) vehicle positions on a single track Westward extension of the Carhouse. The intent is to minimize the need for “deadheading” of the fleet stored at Russell Carhouse to the nearby Leslie Barns Streetcar Facility for maintenance, and to provide backup service capability to minimize fleet service disruptions.
