On Feb. 21, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has received the 2016 Engineering Project of the Year Award for it’s work on the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE). This award is handed out annually by the Professional Engineers of Ontario-York Chapter.
“The award highlights a high degree of engineering and leadership demonstrated in conjunction with the three station design teams – AECOM, ARUP and TSGA – in categories such as innovation, sustainability, commercial viability and impact on communities,” said TTC Chair Josh Colle.
The TYSSE is a six-station, 8.6 km extension of the Yonge-University Subway, connecting Downsview Station to York University and York Region, with a stop at Black Creek Pioneer Village. This project is the first TTC expansion into other regions of the GTHA. The $3 billion project was jointly funded by the federal and provincial governments, in addition to the City of Toronto and the Regional Municipality of York.
The project is scheduled to be operational by December of this year, making it one of the first completed projects within the motherlode transit network.
Congratulations TTC!
