Summary

In recent months there has been informal talk about a reduction in stations on the northern part of Line 1. Many planning decisions have been made based on the assumption of a Cummer station, and applications for high density development are currently with City Planning staff and the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) with density requests based on the proposed subway station.  To deal with these applications it is essential to know, without delay, whether a station is to be built at Cummer.
