\"Spadina<\/p>\n

The Toronto Star<\/em><\/a> is announcing on its front page that a final $697 million from the federal government has sealed the Spadina Subway Extension deal (see their article here<\/a>). The money comes as part of a large package of funding for transit in the GTA including:<\/p>\n

A Mississauga transitway, a bus-only road along Highway 403 and Eastgate Parkway from Burnhamthorpe Rd. to Eglinton Ave. E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Brampton’s $280-million Acceleride project, meant to speed bus service. Ontario has already committed $95 million for the improvements.<\/em><\/p>\n

An expansion of York Region’s Viva bus system. York Region officials want to get buses on to dedicated lanes.<\/em><\/p>\n

The widening of Highway 7, in the amount of $55 million.<\/em><\/p>\n

An environmental assessment to extend Highway 407 eastward to link up with Highway 401. This would go through federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s Whitby-Oshawa riding.<\/em><\/p>\n

A $5 million study of rapid transit in Durham.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those unfamiliar with the $2 billion Spadina Extension proposal, it continues the Spadina subway line north to York University, then beyond Toronto’s boundary at Steeles to connect to (the future) Vaughan Corporate Centre at Highway 7 in Vaughan. I include a map below from the TTC<\/em>‘s website on the matter – more information can be had here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
