Promise History
2.04.019 - “Over the next decade, a re-elected PC government will […] build and expand public transit, including […]: [the] Yonge-North subway extension”
28-Jan-2025
Infrastructure Ontario issued a Request for Proposals in December 2023 for the tunnelling contract. However, by the end of the Ford government’s second term no construction had begun, and so this promise is considered broken.
“The Ontario government is taking another step forward to get shovels in the ground on the Yonge North Subway Extension by issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the contract to design and build the subway’s tunnels. […] The issuance of the RFP comes as the project reaches another important milestone. Early upgrade work at Finch Station, where the Yonge North Subway Extension will connect with existing Line 1 service, is now substantially complete. The upgrades set the stage for major construction of the subway extension.”

As steps have been taken to build infrastructure to enable the Yonge-North extension, this promise is considered in progress.
