The following section summarizes the remaining route changes included in the Line 5 Eglinton surface network plan.
13 Avenue Road
This route will be modified to serve the new Avenue Station on Line 5. Service will be removed from Oriole Pkwy between Chaplin Cres and Eglinton Ave West. The route will
continue to serve Eglinton Station to provide a direct connection to Line 1 for residents in the Yonge-Eglinton and Yonge-St Clair neighbourhoods.
18 Caledonia
This route will replace the northern portion of the current 47 Lansdowne. The 18 Caledonia will serve Caledonia Rd from the new Caledonia Station on Line 5 to Yorkdale Station on Line 1. Two branches will operate on this route: 18A via Bridgeland Ave, and 18B via Orfus Rd. By separating the 18 Caledonia from the 47 Lansdowne, customers can expect more reliable service on the route and service levels better tailored to ridership demand. Customers travelling through Eglinton Ave West will have to transfer to 47 Lansdowne at Caledonia Station. Also, see 47 Lansdowne.
32 Eglinton West
This route will terminate at the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5, providing bus service west to Renforth Station. Customers can expect to transfer onto Line 5 to continue travelling on Eglinton Ave. The many branches that currently operate under 32 Eglinton West will become unique routes serving different stations on Line 5. Bus service east of Mount Dennis Station will be operated as 34 Eglinton. New roads served will include Keelesdale Rd and Photography Dr.
47 Lansdowne
This route will be adjusted to terminate at the new Caledonia Station on Line 5, with service north of Eglinton Ave replaced by 18 Caledonia. The short-turn branch terminating at St. Clair Ave West will also be eliminated so that all services on 47 Lansdowne will operate end to end, from Caledonia Station to Queen St West. As a result, customers north of St. Clair Ave West can expect higher service levels than today, and greater service reliability as the route is shortened. Customers travelling through Eglinton Ave West will have to transfer to 18 Caledonia at Caledonia Station.
71 Runnymede
This route will be adjusted to divert into the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5 in both directions to connect the Mount Dennis and Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhoods and the TTC Mount Dennis Bus Division to Line 5. This route will continue to operate to Runnymede Station on Line 2. New roads served will be Keelesdale Rd and Photography Dr.
74 Mt Pleasant
With the completion of Line 5, the 74 Mt Pleasant will no longer serve north of Eglinton Ave East and will instead terminate at Eglinton Station. Service north of Eglinton Ave East will be covered by the 103 Mt Pleasant North. This route will provide a direct connection to Line 1 and Line 5 (at Mount Pleasant Station) from the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.
81 Thorncliffe Park
This route will be extended to the new Science Centre Station on Line 5, via Overlea Blvd, Gateway Blvd and Don Mills Rd. As a result, the 81 Thorncliffe Park will better serve customers in Thorncliffe Park, connecting them to destinations in the Flemingdon Park neighbourhood, such as shopping, schools, libraries and parks. The original proposal for this service change was modified based on community consultation in 2019 when community members provided feedback highlighting important local destinations requiring transit service.
88 South Leaside
Previously, the TTC had planned to consolidate all services on 88 South Leaside to terminate at Laird, but the feedback received from community consultation in 2019 showed that the proposal did not suit the needs of transit customers in the area. Instead, 88 South Leaside will be adjusted to serve the new Laird Station on-route but will continue to operate in a circular loop through the Leaside and Thorncliffe Park neighbourhoods. Service will be removed from Wicksteed Ave between Laird Dr and Brentcliffe Rd, and from Brentcliffe Rd between Vanderhoof Ave and Wicksteed Ave.
89 Weston
This route will be adjusted to serve the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5 in both directions, connecting customers on Weston Rd to Line 5. Service will continue to operate from Keele Station on Line 2 to Albion Rd. New roads served as a result of these changes will be Photography Dr.
90 Vaughan
With the completion of Line 5, service on the 90B branch will be reintroduced, serving Vaughan Rd north of Oakwood Ave, Northcliffe Blvd, Eglinton Ave West and Oakwood
Ave. This route will provide a direct connection to Line 1 (at St. Clair West Station) and Line 5 (at Oakwood Station) from the Vaughan Rd neighbourhood. The 90A branch (St.
Clair West Station-Oakwood via Jesmond) will continue to operate.
103 Mt Pleasant North
This route will be reintroduced with the completion of Line 5, serving Mount Pleasant Road north of Eglinton Ave East, from Eglinton Station to Doncliffe Loop. This route will
provide a direct connection from the Lawrence Park neighbourhood to Line 1 and Line 5. Customers travelling through Eglinton Ave will have to transfer to 74 Mt Pleasant at
Mount Pleasant Station.
158 Trethewey
This route will replace the current 32C Eglinton West branch when Line 5 is open. The 158 Trethewey will serve the new Keelesdale Station on Line 5, via Trethewey Dr. Instead of terminating at Lawrence Ave West as the 32C does today, the route will be extended northward via Weston Rd to Knob Hill Dr, providing more transit options to the Weston neighbourhood and connecting the neighbourhoods along Trethewey Dr to new shopping destinations.
161 Rogers Road
This route will be adjusted to terminate at the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5, via Black Creek Dr. This change will provide a direct connection to rapid transit for customers in the Keelesdale and Caledonia neighbourhoods. In addition, route 161 Rogers Road will no longer serve Alliance Ave, which will be replaced by an adjusted route 171 Mt Dennis. As a result, customers travelling along Rogers Rd to Alliance Ave will have to transfer to 171 Mt Dennis. New roads served as a result of these changes include Black Creek Dr (Eglinton Ave West to Weston Rd) and Photography Dr.
162 Lawrence-Donway
This route will be adjusted to terminate at the new Science Centre Station on Line 5. As well, this route will no longer loop via The Donway north of Lawrence Ave East and east
of Don Mills Road. Instead, a two-way service will operate via Overland Dr and Barber Greene Rd, and extend via Don Mills Rd to Science Centre Station to connect customers directly Line 5. Customers on The Donway north of Lawrence Ave East and east of Don Mills Rd should expect to use 51B Leslie.
168 Symington
This route will be adjusted to terminate at the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5. In addition, the route will be extended via Weston Rd and Black Creek Dr. Service will be
removed from Avon Loop. New roads served as a result of these changes are Black Creek Dr (from Photography Ave to Weston Rd) and Photography Dr.
170 Emmett
This route will replace the current 32D Eglinton West branch when Line 5 is open. The 170 Emmett will serve the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5, via Eglinton Ave West and Emmett Ave. Customers who are currently travelling east of Mount Dennis Station will need to transfer to Line 5 to continue their journey when the line opens. New roads
served include Keelesdale Rd and Photography Dr.
171 Mt Dennis
This route will be adjusted to serve the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5. Additionally, 171 Mt Dennis will no longer serve Jane St and Trethewey Dr. Instead, the route will be extended to Jane St and Alliance Ave to provide coverage on the previous portion of route 161 Rogers Road. In addition, the 171 Mt Dennis will directly connect customers on Alliance Ave to Line 5. New roads served as a result of these changes will be Keelesdale Rd and Photography Dr.
179 Castlefield
This will be a new route operating on new streets, connecting Cedarvale Station, Keelesdale Station and Mount Dennis Station via Castlefield Ave. This route will provide new service to employment uses along Castlefield Ave while also serving some medium-density housing on Roselawn Ave, connecting new customers directly to Line 1 and Line 5 as well as GO Transit and UP Express. New roads served will be Roselawn Ave, Castlefield Ave, Kincort St and Danesbury Ave.
989 Weston Express
This route will be adjusted to serve the new Mount Dennis Station on Line 5 in both directions. The route will be re-routed to Black Creek Dr to provide quick access to the new terminal. Service will continue to operate from Keele Station to Steeles Ave West. New roads served included Black Creek Dr (from Photography Dr to Weston Rd) and Photography Dr.
