During the event, staff will introduce potential layouts for the facility, describe the current conditions of the site and explain how the upcoming transit project assessment process works.

The new carhouse will let the TTC store and maintain the vehicles that it needs to operate the Sheppard East light rail Transit City line that it recently started to build. The carhouse will also likely supply vehicles to the future Scarborough - Malvern Transit City line. If the TTC and City decide to extend the current 3 Scarborough rapid transit line and convert it to light rail, this carhouse would serve that line, too.

After the open house, TTC staff will review your comments, evaluate the design options and choose a layout. They then will identify the potential effects in detail and recommend ways to resolve any issues that you may have identified during this event.

The open house takes place on Wednesday, February 10 from 6:30 until 9 p.m. at:

Chinese Cultural Centre,
5183 Sheppard Avenue East
at Markham Road.

The City and TTC will host a second open house this spring to present the design they recommend for the new facility and again you’ll have an opportunity to review and comment on their plans.
