Top 15 PrioritiesWithin the first 15 years of the Regional Transportation Plan’s implementation, the top 15 priorities for early implementation are: Yonge subway extension to Richmond Hill Centre Eglinton rapid transit from Pearson Airport to Scarborough Centre Upgrade/extension of Scarborough rapid transit line Finch/Sheppard rapid transit from Pearson Airport to Scarborough Centre and Meadowvale Express Rail on Lakeshore line from Hamilton to Oshawa Rapid transit in Hamilton from McMaster University to Centennial Parkway Hurontario rapid transit from Port Credit to Brampton 403 Transitway from Mississauga City Centre to Renforth Gateway Rail link between Union Station and Pearson Airport Rapid transit service along Hwy 2 in Durham Improvements/extension of GO Rail service to Bowmanville Early phases of bus rapid transit service on Dundas St in Halton and Peel Viva rapid transit on Hwy 7 and Yonge St through York Region Brampton’s Queen St Acceleride Spadina subway extension to Vaughan Corporate Centre
Yonge subway extension ~ a key priority
The information displayed on this map is conceptual only. It represents projects proposed for full or substantial completion within 25 years of the Regional Transportation Plan's adoption.
Recommended alignments and technologies will be developed during the project-level benefits case analysis that Metrolinx will carry out in partnership with municipalities and transit
agencies, as part of the funding approval process for individual projects.
This map is not to scale, and it does not accurately reflect approved land-use or planning boundaries or actual transportation routes or alignments.

Metrolinx | the big move
To develop recommendations for the Yonge subway extension project, we assessed options and obtained public input for:
Alignment
Numbers and locations of stations
How the subway will cross the East Don River
The location of the terminus of the subway at Highway 7, its features and how it works

Key to improving Yonge Subway capacity Bottleneck to adding more trains, with existing or new signalling system Must cut train ‘dwell’ time in half Add a third platform at Yonge Subway level
- Train doors will open on both sides- Unload to new centre platform- Load from relocated side platform- Unloading/loading at the same time- Will cut theoretical dwell time by 50%
Could also add platforms on BD level
Capacity Study Initiated in January 2009 To be completed by Fall 2009 Confirm previous concepts for expansion Identify other operational strategies to increase capacity $450 million project Currently not funded 4-5 years to design/construct Station will be operational throughout construction

Construction principles
Our goal is to minimize disruption and inconvenience to the community during subway construction. Every effort will be made to:
Use tunnelling, wherever possible
Ensure the design of subway related structures is sensitive to existing neighbourhoods
Maintain property access at all times
Ensure appropriate number of lanes of traffic are always available in the peak direction
Minimize the size of construction work areas
Contain work areas to maintain community and pedestrian safety
Provide timely construction updates to the community
Complete construction as quickly as possible

Crossing the East Don River
1 Restore the valley to its natural state
2 Level Yonge Street to provide continued access to adjacent sites
3 Ensure the bridge design includes heritage features in context with the community
4 Ensure lighting is designed to be sensitive to adjacent uses in the community
5 Provide a safe pedestrian environment to cross between the heritage community north and south of the bridge
6 Meet Ministry of Environment guidelines for attenuating traffic and subway noise
