Bonnie Crombie wants to extend the Line 2 subway into Mississauga
The plan also calls for a formal study, 15-minute-or-better MiWay service on major routes and a 2028 target for the Hazel McCallion Line LRT.
- On Thursday, Mississauga mayoral candidate Bonnie Crombie unveiled 'Mississauga Moves 2.0,' proposing to extend Toronto's Line 2 subway westward from Kipling Station through Sherway Gardens into downtown Mississauga.
- Citing density statistics, Crombie noted 'Mississauga has a higher population and higher density than both Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill combined,' justifying the direct subway connection to Toronto.
- University of Toronto professor Matti Siemiatycki called the proposal 'speculative' and 'hugely expensive,' while mayoral rival Alvin Tedjo termed it a 'dream worth pursuing' requiring provincial funding.
- Focusing on existing infrastructure, mayoral rival Dipika Damerla proposed adding stops to the GO Transit Lakeshore West line to create a 'surface subway,' while advocating to prioritize the delayed Hazel McCallion Line LRT.
- Crombie said she would spend her first year pursuing formal partnerships with Metrolinx and the City of Toronto to conduct feasibility studies examining routes, station locations, and costs.
