A significant extension planned for the TTC's Line 1-Yonge University subway just took a massive leap forward with the announcement of a contract procurement for the enormous infrastructure investment. Ontario Premier Doug Ford was at Langstaff GO Station in Thornhill on Wednesday, joined by Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation, and Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure, to reveal the latest update on the planned Yonge North Subway Extension project. "The Yonge North Subway Extension is a critical part of our $70 billion investment to build public transit in communities across Ontario," said Premier Doug Ford. Once design work is completed, tunnelling for the extension will begin along with a separate procurement process for stations, rail, and supporting systems. "Today, we're taking a major step forward as we build the Yonge North Subway Extension, revolutionizing travel across the region and extending subway access to Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill for the first time," said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation.
