The Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) is now officially open, marking a historic moment for the Greater Toronto Area and delivering a transformative new transit option for the city. Arup is proud to celebrate this achievement after its dedicated involvement in the design and delivery of the project. 

Delivered in partnership with Metrolinx, Infrastructure Ontario, and Mosaic Transit Group, the 10.3-kilometre line includes 16 new stops, 2 new stations and runs from Keele Street to Polytechnic’s North Campus, connecting underserved communities along Finch Avenue West to Toronto’s broader transit network. 

Arup has served as Lead Designer for Mosaic Transit Group, providing detailed design for linear elements along the rail alignment; as well as full architectural and engineering design services for all stations; integrated urban planning; and support for the replacement of the Highway 400 bridge. 

“The Finch West LRT is more than a transit line – it’s an investment in equity, opportunity, and urban revitalization. Arup is proud that the line will reduce commute times, improve access to employment and education, and stimulate local economies along the corridor,” said Simon Stephenson, Principal and Project Director at Arup.  

As the Finch West LRT begins serving the public, Arup remains committed to delivering resilient, inclusive, and future-ready infrastructure for communities across Canada.
