This report responds to a number of motions from City Council regarding a potential future subway station at Yonge Street and Cummer/Drewry Avenues (i.e., Cummer Station) as part of the Yonge North Subway Extension (YNSE). Originally planned as part of the Province of Ontario’s YNSE project, Cummer Station and another station at Royal Orchard Road in the City of Markham were descoped by Metrolinx following the completion of their Initial Business Case analysis and prior to the further planning and design of the project. However, Metrolinx later agreed to deliver Royal Orchard Station despite its poorer performance relative to Cummer Station. At present Cummer Station remains out of scope for the YNSE. City staff were directed through MM11.19 Last Chance to Urge Province to Build Cummer Station for the Future of North York, to prepare a business case for Cummer Station which will form the basis for another request to the Province to include Cummer Station in the YNSE’s base scope. As such, City staff have developed the preliminary business case included in Attachment 1 to this report. EX5.3 Update on Metrolinx Subways Program – Second Quarter 2023 also included motions related to Cummer Station. This report also responds to these motions.
