The agency has not given a timeline for how long it will take to design and build the facility at the new location near York Mills Road
Metrolinx has abandoned controversial plans to build a train storage facility in Toronto’s Don Valley, a move welcomed by opponents who argued the plan would damage the environment and hurt a rare piece of downtown parkland.
“There was always an alternative,” said Tom Grydziuszko, a Don Valley supporter who came to love the area while working nearby. “By saying that, of course, that would be a way to end the conversation. Because if there’s no alternative, there’s no alternative, right?”proposal called for bringing back into use a rail spur that had been abandoned in 2007.
However, in a rare reversal for a transit agency facing pushback on multiple projects, Metrolinx announced this week that an alternative had in fact been found. Metrolinx said there was no one available to comment Thursday about the change of plans, responding instead with an excerpt from the online posting.
