On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Exhibition Place LRT loop and the Exhibition GO Station have been an area of congestion for users for quite some time. As the Exhibition Place grounds, Liberty Village, Ontario Place, The Bentway, Fort York neighborhood and other areas continue to grow, the current LRT loop and GO Station configuration will not support the future increased volumes using the TTC and requirements for west bound LRT. The LRT streetcar track extension west to Dufferin received Environmental Approval in 2008 and the project has received City Council approval as recently as January 2018 as part of the Waterfront Transit Network Plan.
