As the city filed it
The SmartTrack Stations Program (the "Program") represents a significant investment to improve transportation choices within Toronto, leveraging existing transit infrastructure to serve more people. Combined with Metrolinx's GO Expansion Program, SmartTrack will transform heavy rail infrastructure in Toronto from a regional commuter service into an urban rapid transit network. At its March 29, 2023, meeting, City Council adopted EX3.9 SmartTrack Stations Program - Update, directing the City Manager to negotiate with the Province of Ontario for the Province to commit to paying all amounts above the original Program Budget of $1.463 billion, which as of the date of the report, were estimated at $234 million.
