2. What Are We Building
• 15 underground stations and 10 surface stops – 9 km below ground and 10 km
above ground
• A maintenance and storage facility
• A 19-kilometre route separated from regular traffic
• Transit communications system
• Links to 54 bus routes, three subway stations,
GO Transit, and a new UP Express station
3. How We’re Building: Surface Stops
• Sequential road widening will be implemented to allow traffic flow to be maintained
during construction.
• The track where the trains will run is at the same level of the roadway on concrete pad
foundations, approximately 100 meters long.
• Example of a Cross Section (Pharmacy Stop)
• U-turns are permitted at intersections due to
unavailability of mid-block left turns
4. Unique Design Concepts: Surface Stops
•Clean, rectilinear form. Intuitive and
easy to use
•Transparent, to ensure clear sightlines
to the street and to maximize the
sense of the security to the passenger
•Provides protection from rain/snow
and splash from the street
Shelter Design

Completed to Date
Piling (part of support of excavation) installation complete for current
traffic stage
First tower crane installed within work zone on west side of Don Mills
Ongoing
Work on the East/West Transmission Main (watermain) continues. City of
Toronto work to facilitate connection to existing infrastructure underway.
• Excavation of the Main Station Box underway and piling on the western
side of the intersection is complete allowing for traffic decking to start.
• Once decking is in place, traffic can be flipped to the next stage, allowing
piling to begin on the east side of the intersection.
Upcoming
Excavation for main station box in the center of Eglinton Avenue East
Traffic Reconfiguration to Stage 7 to support of excavation work on the east
side of the Don Mills and Eglinton Ave East intersection expected to occur
mid-late May.
24. Current Traffic Staging at Don Mills & Eglinton
Traffic flip took place late-October and is expected to continue to be in place
until approximately mid-May 2018
