Definitely! My original full proposal was from Dundonald to Carlton, but transpo staff want to start smaller from Dundonald to Alexander which I'll take because that's where all the main businesses are that already have people spilling onto the street. Would love to see it extended in the future!

Please message me or reply if you’d like to help out!

Here’s another version of the current plan I made as well if we can’t connect the 80 Wellesley Driveway to the Anvil parking lot + fully close off the Maitland & Church intersection.

Update: had another meeting today with the councillor's office about the Church St pedestrianization plan & things are moving along!

We’re aiming for Dundonald to Alexander during Summer 2026, possibly rolled into an extended Pride ped’ztn or FIFA activation! Transpo staff & the BIA are onboard!

Interesting… they’re still building the full 300m platform capable of handling GO trains…
According to the document, this station will still be built with an entire or almost full 300 metre GO platform. My guess is this decision was made for an operational reason, and there is still an intention for GO to stop at St. Clair-Old Weston in the long-term. Station Design Changes UPE is served by 3-car single-level trains that utilize higher station platforms for boarding on the same level as the UPE doors. In comparison, GO trains can be up to 12-car bi-level trains with lower station platforms. While the station platforms will remain the same length as designed, a portion of each platform will be constructed at a higher elevation to facilitate level boarding with the UPE fleet. Based on concept designs for the required UPE service, Metrolinx and City staff have confirmed that any impacts to the current SCOW Station design are likely to be minimal. Key scope elements such as connections to Gunns Road and St. Clair Avenue, the TTC bus loop, pedestrian tunnels, and future development lands will be retained.

The province also promises to continue working with the City and TTC to “make transit more affordable and seamless” which may mean further fare integration, especially with the current UPX premium fare. (2/2)
RECOMMENDATIONS St. Clair-Old Weston Station The Executive Director, Transit Expansion, recommends that: 1. City Council approve the change for the St. Clair-Old Weston ("SCOW") Station to be serviced by the Union-Pearson Express ("UPE") Line subject to the following: a. The Province agrees to fully fund all capital costs associated with this change; b. The Province continues to commit to 15-minute service frequency or better at the SCOW Station; and c. Province agrees to continue to work with the City, and the TTC, to develop the regional fare integration framework, to make transit more affordable and seamless in Toronto, and provides an update on progress prior to the opening of the SCOW Station. 2. City Council authorize the City Manager, in consultation with the City Solicitor and any other relevant City Officials, to negotiate, enter into and execute an amendment to the Revised Agreement in Principle between the Province and the City, dated August 21, 2023, as amended on July 4, 2023 ("Revised AIP"), for the implementation of the change to the SCOW Station (the "Amending Agreement"), in accordance with Recommendation 1 above, and on such other terms and conditions satisfactory to the City Manager, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 3. Subject to entering into the Amending Agreement, City Council authorize the City Manager, or designate, to negotiate, enter into, and execute an amendment to the SmartTrack Main Agreement between Metrolinx and the City, dated September 15, 2023, based on terms in the Revised AlP, as amended, and on such other terms and conditions satisfactory to the City Manager, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

Metrolinx says St. Clair-Old Weston needs to be serviced by the UP Express instead of Kitchener GO to fulfill the 15-minute or better service promised by SmartTrack.

All capital costs associated with this change will be covered by the province. (1/2)

www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis...
SUMMARY This report provides updates and seeks authorities regarding three heavy rail transit projects in Toronto. St. Clair-Old Weston Station - Proposed Change from GO to Union-Pearson Express In December 2024, through CC24.3, City Council confirmed delivery of three prioritized stations under the SmartTrack rogram, namely, East Harbour, Bloor-Lansdowne, and St. Clair-Old Weston (SCOW). Metrolin has recently proposed a service change whereby the SCOW Station would be serviced by the Union-Pearson Express (UPE) trains on the UPE line instead of GO trains on the adjacent Kitchener line. Metrolinx has indicated that this service change is required to maintain the 15-minute (or better) service frequency commitment made by Metrolinx for the SmartTrack Program, which can no longer be maintained by GO service. The Province has confirmed that all capital costs associated with the proposed change from GO to UPE service will be fully covered by the Province under their GO Expansion Program (GOE Program)lAs such, this report seeks Council's approval to have the SCOW Station be servic by the UPE Line. Attachment 1 to this report provides an update on the status of the design and construction of the three prioritized SmartTrack stations.

Doug Ford is showing his true disdain for renters and is testing how much he can get away with.

We can’t let him.
