Ontario Minister of Transport Steven Del Duca announced the close of a Request for Proposals to companies shortlisted to design, build, finance and maintain the Toronto’s Finch West Light Rail Transit line. The new rapid transit line will connect the new Finch West metro station on the Toronto-York Spadina metro extension and further to Humber College.
The Finch West LRT project includes 11 kilometres of new, dedicated light rail transit; 18 stops, including a below-grade stop at Humber College and an underground interchange station at the TTC’s Finch West Subway Station and a maintenance and storage facility for light rail vehicles.
The new LRT will move more people faster through the busy Finch West corridor, connecting them to local and regional transit services, including the TTC, GO Transit, Mississauga Miway, York Viva, and Brampton Züm transit services.
Ontario is investing CAD 1.2 billion (EUR 1.74 million) in the Finch West LRT. Under the Building Canada Fund-Major Infrastructure Component, the Government of Canada is contributing up to CAD 333 million (EUR 218.6 million) towards the project.
