Pape – Transit-Oriented Community

Infrastructure Ontario (IO), with the Ministry of Infrastructure (MOI) is leading the transit-oriented communities program as it relates to the "New Subway Transit Plan for the GTA,” part of the government’s smart, forward-thinking plan to build new, sustainable transit. The transit-oriented communities (TOC) approach provides real opportunity to build vibrant, higher density, mixed-use communities that are connected to or within a short distance to transit stations.

IO, on behalf of the province, is committed to working with the City of Toronto on plans to build transit and a TOC at the future Pape Station. 

The Pape site consists of two sites which have been designated for TOC use.  The site will be developed in line with the stated objectives of the TOC program.

The future growth potential for the Pape site is dependent on a planned transit station that will serve the surrounding neighbourhood with connections to streetcar, bus, and subway service along the Ontario Line. The proposed Pape Station site will add more housing and retail space for businesses.

Community input is a key component of TOCs and began in early 2024, following the city’s planning review.
