The Ontario government, in partnership with the government of Canada, has advanced Metrolinx's Yonge North Subway Extension, one of the province’s four priority subway projects. 

The province is moving ahead with a fourth station at Clark Avenue and pursuing further adjustments to the route.

An updated stations analysis from Metrolinx shows that Clark Station will offer seamless transfers between the Yonge North Subway Extension and the planned branch of York Region Viva Orange bus rapid transit, provincial officials said in a news release.

Clark Station will serve 2,500 riders during the busiest travel times while providing access to rapid transit in such key residential and employment growth areas as Promenade Centre and the Bathurst and Centre corridor, they said.

The province also plans to work collaboratively with the York region and the city of Toronto to explore the possibility of funding additional stations located at Royal Orchard Boulevard and Cummer Avenue.

Metrolinx is actively investigating refinements to the extension's route to minimize impacts to the communities it will serve. The results of those investigations are expected later this year.
