Customers will be able to connect with the Bloor-Danforth subway, Yonge-University-Spadina subway and both the Don Mills LRT and Jane LRT.

How will the surface sections of each project be constructed?
The first step during construction of the surface sections is the relocation of utilities. Next, construction of the LRT will occur on one side of the street while the other side would remain open to traffic. Once construction has finished, the work would switch to the other side of the street, and traffic would flow on the reconstructed side. When both sides have been completed, finishes would be applied to the shelters on the platforms at the stops, and lighting would be installed.

In our case the Victoria Park to Leslie section is slated to start in 2015 and take 1 or 2 Summers to complete.
The issue hear in our area is that the current bus will be replaced with the LRT, but we will lose a ttc stop at Swift and Credit union drive. ( those people will have to walk to Sloane drive to the stop.350 meters walk )
