This new LRT, located along Finch Avenue West in the city’s northwest end, will be
integrated with the city’s existing transit system. The project includes 11 kilometres
of new semi-dedicated rapid transit between Humber College and the new Finch
West subway station on the Toronto-York Spadina subway extension; 18 surface stops
and a below-grade interchange station to connect with the new Finch West subway
station; and a maintenance and storage facility for the light rail vehicles. Construction
is making progress throughout the Finch West LRT project, including road widening, continued utility relocations and upgrades, and excavating the underground
interchange station at Finch West Subway Station. In summer 2021, the first light rail
vehicle arrived at the Finch West Maintenance and Storage Facility.

Hamilton LRT
$3.4 BILLION
In September 2021, Hamilton City
Council voted to reinitiate the project
after it was previously cancelled by the
province in 2019 due to rising costs.
The LRT, as proposed, would bring 14
kilometres of rapid transit to Ontario’s
fifth-largest city. Once complete, the new
LRT line will connect McMaster University
in the west to Eastgate in the East, with
17 stops planned on the route. Demolition
of Metrolinx-owned properties along the
Hamilton LRT route began in the Spring of
2022, along with early construction works
for utility relocations.
In the coming years, these properties
will be required for station stops, infrastructure, and widening to accommodate
the future LRT right of way. In the short
term, demolition sites will be restored,
secured with fencing, and monitored by
security contractors.
