West Toronto Connector Express Bus Lanes
This concept creates a connected rapid bus network across Toronto’s northwest, anchored by Jane Street as the primary north–south spine with bi-directional bus lanes between Bloor and Finch. Lawrence Avenue West adds a strong east–west corridor, using the same approach where feasible to support faster crosstown travel and better connections between neighbourhoods. To the west, Martin Grove extends the network from Islington Station up to Humber College, linking rapid transit to a major employment and education hub. Together, these corridors form a continuous grid that allows for more direct trips, fewer transfers, and stronger integration with Line 2 at Bloor and other key transit nodes. By consolidating bus movements into dedicated, bi-directional lanes on one side of the street, the network improves reliability, reduces delays from mixed traffic, and creates a scalable, high-capacity surface transit system in an area that currently relies heavily on buses.
