Today, the Government of Canada celebrated continued progress on the construction of the Ontario Line subway. The 15.6-kilometre transit line will be within walking distance for nearly 230,000 people, making it faster and easier to get around Toronto and beyond.
Ground has now been broken on four new subway stations in the city's east end. Major work is underway at Don Valley, Flemingdon Park, Thorncliffe Park and Cosburn stations. In addition, foundational work is beginning on the nearly three kilometres of elevated guideway that will connect the future above-ground stations.
The Government of Canada is investing more than $4 billion in the Ontario Line, the single largest federal public transit investment in Toronto. The Government of Ontario is leading the project's construction through Metrolinx.
The Honourable Julie Dabrusin, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature and Member of Parliament for Toronto-Danforth, joined the Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of the Province of Ontario, and the Honourable Prabmeet Sarkaria, Ontario's Minister of Transportation, to celebrate the federal-provincial partnership and mark continued progress on this important project.
