Update — Wednesday, June 8, 9:04 a.m.: The City added two more meetings on the Relief Line proposals.*

The City of Toronto is asking residents to help decide the future of rapid transit the city by reviewing and commenting on plans for SmartTrack, Scarborough transit, the Relief Line and Waterfront transit.

Torontonians and residents of the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton can provide input on these projects online or at public meetings the City is hosting in partnership with the TTC, WATERFRONToronto and Metrolinx.

Each of the meetings focuses on one of the four key initiatives. A final meeting will address all the projects.

SmartTrack / GO regional express rail

Scarborough transit planning

The TTC and the City plan to extend the 2 Bloor - Danforth subway line north from Kennedy Station to Scarborough Centre. The longer subway would encourage further development of Scarborough Centre. On-line and during a public meeting, staff will present their evaluation of various options for the extension. You can provide input on the plans at http://www.scarboroughsubwayextension.ca or during the meeting: Tuesday, May 31. To further increase transit access in Scarborough, staff are also examining options for a light rail transit line to connect Kennedy Station with the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus along Eglinton Avenue East, Kingston Road and Morningside Avenue. This project would better communities in the corridor and improve access to jobs and other destinations for nearby residents. You can provide input on the plans at http://www.toronto.ca/transitTO or during the meeting: Tuesday, May 31.

The Relief Line

The City and TTC are planning a new subway line, linking downtown with the 2 Bloor - Danforth subway east of the Don River. The line would relieve crowding on the 1 Yonge - University line at Bloor - Yonge Station and on streetcar and bus routes to and from downtown. On-line and during a public meeting, staff will present the results of their evaluation of alignment options and potential locations for station entrances. You can provide input on the proposed route at http://www.reliefline.ca or during the meeting: Thursday, June 2 ;

; Wednesday, June 15 ; and

Waterfront transit ‘reset’

This study establishes a proposal for a comprehensive waterfront transit network and identifies current and future transit needs. Staff will develop and evaluate a range of early concepts to help them determine a transit line to integrate north - south transit and link people from across the city to the waterfront. You can provide input on the proposal at http://www.toronto.ca/transitTO or during meetings: Wednesday, May 25 ; and

; and Thursday, May 26.
