Etobicoke Finch West LRT Button

February 2010

The draft Environmental Assessment study for the Etobicoke-Finch West LRT project was approved by the Commission last December.

The study recommends the preferred alignment for the 17.2-km route from Finch Station on the Yonge-University-Spadina Subway to Hwy. 27 (Humber College). The LRT includes 30 stops, including two subway connections.

“The alignment goes from Finch Station, down the centre of Finch to Hwy. 27, where it turns south and into the area of Humber College Boulevard and enters Humber College,” said Rick Holli, Project Manager – Finch.

The Final Environment Project Report is scheduled to be completed and submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) on March 23. There will be a 30-day public comment period, followed by a 35-day MOE review and decision period. The Ministry is scheduled to complete its assessment on May 31. If approved, construction would start in 2011.

Full funding for the Etobicoke-Finch West LRT was announced by Premier Dalton McGuinty on April 1, 2009.
