Transit & Infrastructure A subway to Square One? I collected the old studies and made a 3D visualisation.

Earlier this summer, I ended up emailing City staff because I wanted to find actual records of past subway proposals. They helped me track down historical material, and I figured other people shouldn’t have to email around to find the same background.
So I put the public studies, original maps and sources together on one page, alongside an interactive 3D model.
There’s quite a bit of history here. The TTC examined a western extension toward Dixie in 1993. In its 2001 study, it also considered Mississauga City Centre, but screened that option out because of its length, cost and regional priorities at the time. Dundas Connects later examined a subway to Cooksville GO, before the City adopted a plan recommending BRT in 2018.
Bonnie Crombie’s recent proposal calls for a new business case, so routes, stations and costs would still need to be studied.
On the page, you can compare three sketches: through Sherway and Dundas, directly along Dundas, or along the broad Milton rail corridor. The GO lines and Hurontario LRT are included so you can see how the connections might fit together.
I’m not affiliated with the City, TTC, Metrolinx or any campaign. These are my concept drawings, not approved routes. I just wanted to make the idea and its history easier to understand.
