Shape the Future of Public Transit: May 12 to 15

The City is updating its official plan to determine where subways and light rail transit (LRT) could be built in the future. Residents are encouraged to provide their input by joining in-person transit planning information sessions from Monday, May 12 to Thursday, May 15 to help shape the future of public transit in Toronto.

The city is in a period of extensive higher-order transit expansion with the current wave of Provincial priority projects expected to be delivered by approximately 2031. Given the time required to advance projects from concept to delivery, it is important to consider the next wave of transit investment that the City should advance once the current projects are completed.

On March 20, 2024, City Planning presented the first phase of a holistic evaluation of the current Official Plan Map 4 Higher Order Transit Corridors. Council directed staff to report back to City Council in the third quarter of 2025 on a comprehensive review of Map 4 to: identify new corridors that would address identified gaps in future higher-order transit service; review existing proposed corridors which may not warrant future higher-order transit service; and propose priorities for advancing work on higher-order transit corridors.

Toronto residents are invited to attend an in-person session: 

Monday, May 12 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Toronto Public Library Weston Branch (2 King Street) 
Tuesday, May 13 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Metro Hall (55 John Street) in room 310 
Wednesday, May 14 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the North York Central Library (5120 Yonge Street) in room 1 
Thursday, May 15 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the Scarborough Civic Centre (150 Borough Drive) in Committee Rooms 1 and 2.
