AVC (Alta Vista Corridor) Environmental Assessment

Queensway Widening Study
AVC > Alternatives > Proposed roadway cost

The cost estimate for the 4-lane road in the Alta Vista Corridor is now at least $135 million.

To put things in perspective, the existing O-train (shown in red on the left on the map) cost $30 million to put in service. That's less than a quarter the cost of this proposed roadway (in black on the right) and the O-train transports more a people a greater distance than the proposed AVC road will.

The train remains reliable and on time because it is immune to traffic jams and accidents which regularly disrupt both car and bus travel.
