Route Layout
The Sheppard East LRT line is to run for 13.6 km, and was originally estimated to account for 17 million trips in 2021. The western terminus of the line is to be built at Don Mills Station at Don Mills Road in North York. The line will run along Sheppard Avenue East. The line will then continue east until it terminates at Meadowvale Road in Scarborough. A future extension east into Durham Region was under consideration as part of the original proposal.
For passengers travelling between North York and Scarborough city centres, a transfer between the Sheppard subway and the Sheppard East LRT at Don Mills station will be required. An interchange will also be built to connect the Sheppard East LRT line and the proposed extension of the Scarborough RT to meet the LRT line at Sheppard Avenue and Markham Road.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
