Downtown Brampton

Hazel McCallion Line Downtown Brampton Extension

Overview

The Downtown Brampton Extension would connect the Hazel McCallion Line to the heart of one of Canada’s fastest growing cities, providing more people with fast, frequent and reliable transit.

In March 2024, the Province advanced funding for the planning activities for both the Downtown Brampton Extension and Downtown Mississauga Extension which are priority transit projects under the Building Transit Faster Act.

We have engaged municipalities through our planning activities to advance these works.

Consulting the Community

The Downtown Brampton Extension is at the planning and design stage of Metrolinx’s development process.

Input and feedback received from community members during consultations will be an important component of this phase as we further develop analysis and design. 

We want to hear about how people travel along the Main Street corridor today – and how they might benefit from new transit options in the future – so we can maximize benefits for the community and future riders.

Next Steps

  • Planning and design work for the extensions in Brampton and Mississauga are now underway.
  • As part of this work, various environmental studies will be undertaken through the Transit and Rail Project Assessment Process (TRPAP) anticipated to begin in 2025.
  • There will be various public engagement opportunities relating to the TRPAPs for these extensions, which will be shared as dates are confirmed.

Land Acknowledgement

Metrolinx acknowledges that we connect communities by building and operating transit within the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat peoples, for whom these lands continue to have great importance.
Treaties between First Nations and governments cover these lands, and the promises contained in these Treaties remain relevant to this day.
Metrolinx and its employees are committed to understanding the history of these lands and the continued impacts of colonization and take responsibility for actions to advance reconciliation.
Metrolinx will continue to seek the knowledge, expertise and experience of Indigenous partners and commits to doing business in a manner that is built on a foundation of trust, respect, and collaboration.
