On the agenda

As the city filed it

Announced by the Province of Ontario in 2019, the proposed Ontario Line is one of four priority transit projects Metrolinx is leading for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The line will be the largest single expansion in Toronto's subway history, helping to ease congestion on existing transit lines throughout the city, and bring transit to underserviced neighbourhoods. The Ontario Line will bring 15.6 kilometres of much-needed subway service to Toronto to make moving around the city better, faster, and easier than it is today.

The line will stretch across the city, from Exhibition Place to the future Eglinton Crosstown Light rail transit (LRT) line at Don Mills Road and Eglington Ave. The Ontario Line will have 15 stations including 6 interchange stations, and over 40 new connections to GO train services, existing subway, streetcar, and bus services. The Ontario Line Exhibition Station early works has significantly progressed over the past year and is about 60 percent completed. Significant progress has been made on the station design, with expected design submissions in early 2024. Upcoming work in 2023/2024 will include opening of new temporary north platform, completion of temporary pedestrian bridge, and relocation and extension of the south platform and track realignments. Staff from Metrolinx will be attending the Board meeting of December 4, 2023 to present the design and progress of the Ontario Line project for the benefit of the Board Members.
