Actually, only the western portion of the first phase would be under Queen Street. As per the EA:
The Relief Line South subway running structure and station platforms are primarily located within existing road right-of-ways. There is a proposed station at Osgoode Station along Queen Street West. Crossovers which allow trains to switch between the westbound and eastbound tracks are provided west of University Avenue, where the underground tail tracks extend to John Street. The alignment continues east underground along Queen Street to the proposed Queen Station interchange at Yonge Street. Another station is proposed at Queen Street East and Sherbourne Street.
As it approaches Berkeley Street, the alignment turns southeast towards Adelaide Street East, where there is a station at Sumach Street. The alignment continues with a crossing under the Don River south of Eastern Avenue. A station is proposed at Broadview and Eastern Avenues. The alignment continues underground following Eastern Avenue and then begins to curve north-east at Booth Avenue. The curve continues until Queen Street East and Carlaw Avenue where there is a proposed station. The alignment continues to follow under Carlaw Avenue until it curves northeast between Gerrard Street East and Riverdale Avenue towards Pape Avenue, A station is proposed at this location.
The alignment then continues north following under Pape Avenue to Danforth Avenue, where there is a proposed interchange with Line 2 at Pape Station.
Crossovers which allows trains to switch between the northbound and southbound tracks are provided north of Pape Station, where the tail tracks extend to Westwood Avenue. There are proposed Wye tracks connecting the Relief Line South and tail tracks to Line 2 northwest and northeast of the interchange station, which are necessary for trains to access Greenwood Yard.
The subway is proposed as a twin bore tunnel that is generally within the bedrock in the downtown core, with the exception of the Don River crossing. At Dingwall Avenue along the Pape Avenue segment, the alignment rises above the bedrock to transition up to the proposed interchange at Pape Station.
