Scarborough Centre sits at the eastern end of the Scarborough
RT line served by two stations with a third planned, and is the
focal point of 13 surface TTC routes in the eastern part of
Toronto. Improving the Centre's connectivity will be crucial to its
success, particularly improving its regional gateway function,
improving service on, and extending, the RT route and
