Ontario Breaks Ground on Ontario Line Pape Station

• Our government has broken ground at Pape Station, marking the start of construction to build a new interchange station connecting the Ontario Line with the TTC’s Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth).
• The Pape Station will be a critical interchange for commuters, cutting some travel times by more than half and helping to reduce gridlock for drivers across the city.
• Construction is now underway to build the foundations required for excavations that will connect the two subway lines.
• The new station will serve hundreds of thousands of commuters every day, facilitating over 9,000 transfers during the morning rush hour and reducing crowding on Line 2 by over 20 per cent.   
• Once complete, the 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line will have 15 stations, connecting Exhibition Place to the downtown core and all the way to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT at Don Mills Road.
• The Line will offer more than 40 connections to other subway, bus, streetcar and regional train services, bringing 225,000 more people within walking distance of transit and reducing daily car trips by at least 28,000.
