The subway line is expected to be up and running by 2030
Joined by Jeff Yurek, Minister of Transportation, and Monte McNaughton, Minister of Infrastructure, Ford announced a $28.5 billion expansion to Ontario's transit network. This is the most money ever invested to get shovels in the ground and get new subways built.
Metrolinx's Ontario line is a new, stand-alone, rapid transit line being proposed in Toronto
The province said the relief line would be done as early as 2027. The timeline is contingent on factors including the upload of transit to the province. The announcement comes amid talks between the province and city on the Ontario government's plan to take over ownership of Toronto's subway network and control of expansion planning.

Fedeli's budget included a detailed list of stops for the 15-kilometre project, with stations at Flemingdon Park, Thorncliffe Park, Cosburn, Pape, Gerrard, Leslieville, East Harbour, Sumach, Sherbourne, Queen, Osgoode, Queen/Spadina and King/Bathurst, before the final terminus at Ontario Place/Exhibition.

Ford's relief line route – rebranded the "Ontario Line" here – is a significant improvement over the first-phase plan from Pape to Osgoode that the city has developed. While the western terminus at Ontario Place will do nothing to quell speculation he has plans to build a casino on the park site, stops in the west end in Liberty Village will be useful, and the Ontario Place/exhibition site has long suffered from less than ideal transit access.
Under the city's plan, the downtown relief line would run 7.4 kilometres connecting Queen and Osgoode stations to Pape station. The latest estimates had put the cost of the line at $7.2 billion. The project had a tentative completion date of 2029 following a recently approved plan to spend $325 million over two years finish more quickly. The environmental assessment for the city's version of the project, one of the final steps before the construction phase, was completed last October.
Ontario Place has long been of interest to the premier dating back to his days as a Toronto city councillor. After his election win last year, Ford promised the tourist attraction will be revitalized, and his government refused to rule out a casino.
