509 Harbourfront / Queens Quay - Overhead Upgrades

Starting September 3 until November 2024, TTC track crews will begin the first phase of overhead upgrades from Queens Quay West and Bathurst Street towards Union Station.

This phase includes critical inspections and replacement of aging infrastructure to support future service. During this time, the 509 Harbourfront streetcar service will be temporarily replaced by buses. Work will be prioritized between Union Station and Spadina Avenue to return partial 509 Harbourfront streetcars between Union Station and Queens Quay Loop (Spadina and Queens Quay) by early October.

The Line 3 Busway is a proposal to construct a dedicated bus corridor serving as a replacement for the Toronto Transit Commission's Line 3 Scarborough Rapid Transit system, which was decommissioned in 2023.

The Transit and Rail Project Assessment Process (TRPAP) commenced on August 15, 2024. Click to view the Notice of Commencement. The draft Environmental Project Report is available online. The TRPAP is planned to be completed by the end of 2024.

Residents are encouraged to share feedback and questions regarding interim bus replacement plan directly to arjun.sahota@ttc.ca. For more information, please visit our website.

Reduced Speed Zones

Transit Control may ask subway operators to reduce their speed through a certain area of the subway system as a safety precaution for crews working at the track level for ongoing maintenance. These Reduced Speed Zones will mean that the train will travel slower than normal in the affected area.

Visit our website for the current list of reduced speed zones.

TTC Busy Weekend Service

Toronto Undergraduate Jazz Fest

From August 30 to September 2, the biggest jazz festival for emerging artists in Canada will showcase over 150 equity-deserving musicians, including JUNO award-winning artists. For more information, please visit the website.

When torrential downpours caused flooding and the loss of power at a Mississauga long-term care home, our Wheel-Trans team stepped up! 

Four Wheel-Trans vehicles were dispatched just before 9 p.m. and spent several hours relocating approximately 100 residents who utilize mobility devices to another facility where they would be warm, dry and with electricity. The size of our Wheel-Trans vehicles allowed operators to safely move multiple residents at a time.

“Wheel-Trans is often called upon by many agencies – including those in other neighbouring cities – to assist during emergencies,” said Mohammed Shaikh, Divisional Manager, Operations, Wheel-Trans. “We always step up to the plate to assist.”

Thanks to all our TTC staff for the support. Also supporting the relocation efforts were Toronto Paramedic Services and Peel Paramedic Services, along with City of Toronto Emergency Management Coordinators. 

While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the end of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.

Upcoming scheduled subway closures:

• Reduced Speed Zones
• Line 1 – Eglinton to College stations – nightly early closures starting at 11:59 p.m. – Monday, September 2, to Friday, September 6
• Line 2 – Victoria Park to Kennedy stations – nightly early closures starting at 11:59 p.m. – Tuesday, September 10 to Friday, September 13
