Welcome to our online engagement platform for the Scarborough Subway Extension Project. We’ve been working hard to advance the Project and want to update you what we’ve heard.
Community feedback plays an important role in shaping the Scarborough Subway Extension. We are committed to continuing planned public engagement to help ensure you have your say. During this time, all engagement activities will remain online to follow public health recommendations to keep our staff and all participants safe.
The Scarborough Subway Extension will extend the TTC’s Line 2 subway service nearly eight kilometres further into Scarborough, providing seamless, reliable transit to key areas in Toronto’s eastern hub. Stations are proposed at Lawrence Avenue and McCowan Road, Scarborough Centre, and Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road.
The extension will travel eastward from Kennedy station, running briefly under Danforth Avenue, and then north to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road, generally within the McCowan Road right-of-way. The extension will strategically shift to the east and west sides of the right-of-way at certain points along the corridor to minimize construction impacts from shafts and stations. This approach will help keep traffic moving during construction and minimize disruptions to communities.
A variety of infrastructure is required for the project including bored tunnels, headwalls, underground stations and emergency exits. In advance of the construction of permanent structures, headwalls will be built during the first construction contract for:
Stations at Lawrence Avenue and Scarborough Centre.
Eight emergency exit buildings.
Launch and extraction shafts.
