Finch West light rail transit line:
Public meetings, January 11, 12 and 13



Metrolinx planners working on the project to build a light rail transit line on Finch Avenue West are approaching a significant milestone: they’ll be issuing a request for proposals to suppliers early this year. (Although the Metrolinx webpage does not identify the purpose for the request for proposal process, it will likely identify suppliers to build and maintain the line.)

In the meantime, Metrolinx is hosting three open houses to update you on the status of the project, including the design concept for the stops, information about the maintenance and storage facility and details on public spaces near the line.

Events take place:
