The Sheppard Avenue East Light Rail Transit (LRT) will provide a fast, reliable, and comfortable way to travel on Sheppard Avenue between Don Mills Subway Station and Meadowvale Road. The LRT is planned to enter a tunnel just west of Consumers Road, travel under Highway 404 and connect directly to the subway level at Don Mills Station. The modern electrically-powered light rail vehicles will operate in dedicated transit lanes, separated from traffic. Please review Background Information and Environmental Assessment.
