A designer created a future-looking TTC map that assembles projects currently under construction and recently completed lines. The map was made in Adobe Illustrator and posted to the TTC subreddit, where it drew substantial attention. It includes major works such as the Ontario Line and the Yonge North Subway extension, alongside recently finished projects like Line 6 Finch West LRT and Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The creator has said they plan to make additional maps showing further future projects.
What is shown:
- The map was produced by Henry Lin using Adobe Illustrator and a TTC base map.
- It incorporates projects now under construction, including the Ontario Line and the Yonge North Subway extension, and finished lines such as Line 6 Finch West and Line 5 Eglinton.
- The Reddit post received more than 600 upvotes and over 150 comments after being shared on the TTC subreddit.
- The provincial government announced ground work on four Ontario Line stations and an elevated guideway connecting Don Valley, Flemingdon Park, and Thorncliffe Park stations.
- Metrolinx leadership said civil infrastructure work for the Ontario Line is likely to be completed in the early 2030s, with testing and commissioning to follow, which may affect the line's opening date.
- Metrolinx notes the Yonge North Subway extension is scheduled to enter service after the Ontario Line is complete.
Summary:
The map highlights the concentration of large transit projects under way in Toronto and also points out network gaps and proposed future extensions. Officials report that civil work on the Ontario Line could be done in the early 2030s, with testing and commissioning to follow; the precise opening date may be affected by that schedule. The Yonge North extension is planned to come into service after the Ontario Line. Further planning and additional map versions from the creator are expected.
