The largest expansion of Toronto’s subway system in nearly 40 years, the 8.6-kilometre YSSE includes six new stations which improve regional connectivity and provide connections between the TTC and York Region VIVA Transit. Future residents of Greybrook’s Riverside in Pine Grove, Downsview Park Towns, and Woodbridge developments will benefit from easier access to transit thanks to the YSSE.
