Federal Funds Boost Major Toronto Railpath Expansion

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada

$23 million will go towards extending the cherished West Toronto Railpath (WTR), making it easier for residents to walk, run, ride a bike, roll, or otherwise get active on one of the city's most unique multi-use trails.

MP Julie Dzerowicz and Councillor Alejandra Bravo announced the investment that will extend WTR by two kilometres, from Dundas Street West at Sterling Road to just west of Abell Street at Sudbury Street. When complete, this trail will make it easier to access the Bloor GO Station and the planned King-Liberty transit station.

The project will include four pedestrian-cycle bridges, and updates to enhance the natural environment. Extending WTR will make it easier for residents to connect to cycling paths, schools, parks, residential areas, employment hubs, tourist attractions, community centres and more.
