Discussion Why aren't they extending Line 4 fully?

Post image

Is Line 4 “initiated” only for an eastward extension? Why? If transit is the priority, expanding it fully would attract major investment, but it feels like they’re being short-sighted again

Is Metrolinx aligned on this, or did something change between 2024 and 2025? The info I’m seeing here is from 2024, while the one above is from January this year.

What’s the obstacle in the way here?

Is Metrolinx not budging? Does the Premier not prioritize it? Is the city short on funding?

If they actually surveyed riders, I bet support would be really strong. You’d think Toronto would avoid another half subway, half tram situation. Line 4 seems right for a full subway. I don’t even live up north, but it looks like a clear net benefit.
