The route will have 16 surface stops, as well as an underground interchange station at Keele Street to connect with the new Finch West subway station on the Toronto-York Spadina subway extension. The project also includes a light-rail vehicle maintenance and storage facility.The Mosaic team includes ACS Infrastructure Canada Inc., Aecon Construction Group Inc., Arup Canada Inc., Dillon Consulting Ltd., Will Canada Inc., Sener SES Canada Inc. and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. Mosaic, its subcontractors and suppliers are slated to begin construction on the Finch West project in fall 2018.Last month, Metrolinx and IO chose the Mosaic team as the preferred bidder to build the Finch West project.
