Don Mills LRT

The Don Mills LRT was a proposed light rail line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was part of the Transit City proposal announced March 16, 2007, to be operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It was expected to cost approximately $675 million, with construction to begin in 2012, and an expected opening in 2016. It would have been the fifth of the seven Transit City lines to be complete after the Sheppard East, Finch West, Waterfront West, and Eglinton lines. Ridership was estimated to be 21.2 million trips in 2021.

Route layout
According to initial Toronto Transit Commission planning, the Don Mills LRT line would run for between Steeles Avenue and Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. The LRT would operate via Don Mills Road from the north, and then turn east along Overlea Boulevard through the community of Thorncliffe Park. South of Thorncliffe Park, the TTC was examining three different alignments for the LRT to connect to the Line 2 subway, prior to cancellation of the project: • Pape Avenue, via the Leaside Bridge, to station; • Broadview Avenue, via the Leaside Bridge, to station; • Bayview Avenue, via Millwood Road and Southdale Drive, to station. The Big Move proposes that the Don Mills LRT run along Pape Avenue to Pape station. It also proposes that the LRT stretch north past Steeles Avenue, along Leslie Street to Highway 7 in York Region. The Relief Line proposal would eventually be replaced by the similar Ontario Line, which will instead extend further north to end at Don Valley station on Line 5 Eglinton. This would most likely truncate the Don Mills LRT proposal to end at that station instead. ==References==
