All stations and stops complete along the Finch West LRT

Finch West LRT project will bring better, faster transit options to northwest Toronto.

Sept. 20 – Major construction milestones have been reached on the Finch West LRT project. 

Crews have officially finished construction on all stations and stops along the alignment including Humber College Station, Finch West Station and every surface level stop in-between.  

When it opens, the new line will carry millions of riders each year using emission-free light rail vehicles. Passengers will also benefit from additional transit connections to other regional transit systems such as GO Transit, MiWay, Brampton Transit, York Region Transit and the TTC. 

These trips will be made even more seamless and affordable thanks to Ontario’s One Fare program, which allows riders to transfer for free between systems. 

New station facts 

Humber College Station  

Humber College Station is connected to the Humber College North Campus via 200 metres of outdoor canopies. The new station is also steps away from other large institutions like Etobicoke General Hospital. 

This station can house two light rail vehicles at a time, which will provide capacity for LRVs to arrive every five minutes along the line during peak periods, offering commuters fast, frequent and reliable service.  

The station features two elevators and an accessible platform. There is also a bike-room, which can hold up to 40 bikes at a time. 

Finch West Station  

Finch West Station, located near York University at the corner of Keele Street and Finch Avenue in Toronto, will bring more transit options to thousands of people every day and connect them to TTC’s Line 1 subway through an underground pedestrian tunnel. 

The approximately 5,000-square-metre station is also big enough to fit two light-rail vehicles simultaneously on dedicated tracks running east and westbound.  

What’s next?  

All major construction on the project is now complete and the project is currently in the testing and commissioning phase.  

This entails light rail vehicles and systems being tested rigorously to make sure issues are found and fixed before the project opens.  

And like any big project, there is deficiency work to ensure fixes and adjustments are made in order for the line to be completely safe and reliable when it opens to customers.     For accredited journalists, you can contact our media team at mediarelations@metrolinx.com.
