A Toronto transit platform for 2014. The Bloor-Danforth subway extension into Scarborough, the Union-Pearson Express rail link and the LRTs on Eglinton, Sheppard and Finch are all funded. The main new elements are the Downtown Express subway line from Flemingdon Park to Cityplace to relieve congestion on the Yonge-University-Spadina line and the addition of six more stops along the Union-Pearson Express to serve as a counterbalance to the Downtown Express line. Furthermore, the Sheppard LRT would be extended by two stops to the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus.
The Forward City plan would be completed by 2025 and would be funded by tax increment financing and a 1% sales tax increase over five years.
