There is a funded........project here for the first phase. Though it is a placeholder for now.......

3M is this year. 7M is each year there after for the next 9 years.

The 3M this year should be detailed design, and the budget should be re-written next year to reflect actual construction timelines.

The City of Toronto sent an e-blast this morning saying the notice of commencement has been issued given the Province approved the EA terms of reference. You can go to the project website to sign up for updates including any public consultations that come up. It's possible a separate thread for the Scarborough Bluffs West project may be needed in the future.
