Request for Proposals Issued to Shortlisted Teams for TTC’s Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements Project
The TTC has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvements project (BYCI). This project will significantly expand and rehabilitate the existing subway station to improve efficiency and capacity and reduce overcrowding during rush hours.
Three teams were shortlisted through a Request for Pre-qualification (RFPQ) process conducted last year and are now invited to respond to the RFP. The teams are:
“Efficient public transit helps make life more affordable, makes commutes more convenient, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps fight climate change,” said the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. “We are proud to support the Bloor-Yonge expansion that will do just that in the GTHA.”
“The expansion of Bloor-Yonge station is part of Ontario’s $80 billion investment in public transit—the largest expansion in Canadian history,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. “Working with the City of Toronto, Premier Ford and our government will continue to invest in public transit to make life more convenient and affordable for families, supporting economic growth for decades to come.”
“I am pleased to see the expansion of Bloor-Yonge Station moving forward, as we work to ensure that public transit infrastructure keeps up with the pace of growth,” said Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. “I am grateful for the support of all levels of government in this project, as we continue to work towards a reliable, accessible, safe, and modern transit system now and in the future.”
“Bloor-Yonge Station is one of the busiest stations in the TTC’s network, and this project will significantly renovate and expand the station,” said TTC Chair Jamaal Myers. “I look forward to the proposals that will be put forward by the teams, as we work to expand the station to grow ridership and ensure we have reliable public transit for the riders who use it every day.”
The teams will submit their proposals later this year, and the TTC expects to award the contract by the end of 2024. Construction is expected to begin in 2026.
Once complete, this project will increase the station’s capacity and accessibility. These improvements will enable more Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) residents to use public transit to get to and from their destinations, reduce gridlock on our roads, and help the TTC accommodate a projected growth in ridership.
